Look out Nancy Pelosi...

The queen of attention whores wants your job.

Six weeks ago, Cindy Sheehan announced:

Quote

I am going to take whatever I have left and go home. I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children and try to regain some of what I have lost...

This is my resignation letter as the "face" of the American anti-war movement.... I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources.

Good-bye America... you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.

Now she's taking on Nancy Pelosi:

Quote

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Cindy Sheehan bid farewell to her former "peace camp" near President Bush's ranch and began a nearly two-week trek Tuesday toward Washington, D.C., with her sights set on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Sheehan, a Californian, officially announced that she intends to run as an independent against Pelosi in 2008 if the San Francisco congresswoman doesn't move to impeach Bush by July 23, the day she expects to reach Washington.

Let's see how many Sheehan-haters become Sheehan supporters if she presents a serious threat to Pelosi! The enemy of my enemy and all that.

Oh yeah, I'm sure she's trembling.

She'll probably be forced to swallow her pride and go ask Bush on how he dealt with such an indomitable force.

Not really, I am not in the west republik. I vote for none of them.

The enemy of my enemy can be dealt with later. Hating a bad guy doens't make you a good guy, and working against my enemy does not make oyu my friend.

that would require some serious short term thinking - unless the hope is they cancel each other out in a blaze of pointless energy

I have faith that there are people out there who will find themselves up to the task.

I listened to a local radio interview of her when she first announced the intent. Media whore really is the apt term. Delusional, too.

As much as some of the SF peaceniks think Pelosi isn't doing their bidding, they're not prepared to oust the Majority Leader, esp a female one.

Now come on! She's a liberal. Who cares how her son died? "Support the troops" doesn't mean support their families - unless they're conservatives.

Of course it will never fail those who will just bring attention to the "whore" portion, of Attention whore.

Would this be the same woman who was upset that her little soiree wasn't being covered because a hurricane happened to be battering the coast?

Would this be the same woman who believes that the twin towers fell because of a controlled demolition?

Would this be the same woman who is going to sue Steve Nadeau claiming he hasn't paid up, basically because he didn't give enough?

Would this be the same woman who faced charges of antisemitism?

Of course she has to run in Pelosi's district. It's the only one insane enough to vote for a freakshow like her.

I don't hate anyone, but I do think both of them are a little left of sane.

I think a good mud-wrestling match is in order.

Not wrong about Sheehan and Pelosi, but me playing in SC also makes me left of sane.

I can't help but think what you would say if someone attacked a conservative woman who had lost her son, and who campaigned FOR the war with the same vigor as Sheehan did against it. I can only imagine the disgust you would feel.

She'd be better off in a neighboring district, but across the bay you have Barbara Lee, whose antiwar stance is untouchable by any peace activist, and it's a district that doesn't believe in frequent change. She and Ron Dellums before have been an institution.

I think with this latest move the poor her defense should be revoked. The reason for impeachment is questionable at best, and pointless at this point in the election cycle.

Actually, I tend to abhor attention whores of all sorts. Just the other day I was making, ahem ...disparaging remarks... about a person who is staunchly pro-gun. I did so because his methods and choice of words reflected poorly on other pro-gun people, and it wasn't an honest mistake. He was doing it to get his name in the paper.

So tell me Bill, did I shit on him because he's pro-gun and I don't like his views on the topic?

ps - there are plenty of moms who are VERY pro-Bush and make comments like "stay the course," for papers and newsies. They (A)aren't as effective at grabbing the spotlight as Sheehan and (B) are also attacked/criticized on a regular basis. I'm not disgusted by it. They went from greiving to advocating a political policy. When you do that, people tend to disagree with you. I'm just not a fan of stupid people tricks to keep your name in the headlines.

pps - it kind of irritates me to hear comments that boil down to "I'm done here," breathe a sigh of relief, and then hear "But I'm running for office."

She's fair game, she's threatening to run for office and using that thread to try to influence a sitting leader to impeach the President, and she's been campaigning politically with great vigor for years now. Just where do you get off claiming she has some pitty shield after all the radical political accusations she's fostered and promulgated including this?

Her dead son is not a political immunity shield. She's an extremely inconsistent freak-show who has exploited her son's death in furtherance of a political campaign. That's her prerogative but it's everyone else's to subject her to some well deserved scrutiny and critique. If she can't stand the heat she should get out of the kitchen, which she did, then she didn't then she....?

Despite my distaste for both actors in this pantomime and the satisfaction of seeing the left eat itself for a change, I hope she doesn't run, IMHO she'll make a poor candidate against Pelosi, she's been a useful puppet of the left and an inevitable drubbing in the polls would not be in her best interests, the woman has issues and that wouldn't help one bit.
