I don't know what it is about Cindy Sheehan . . .there is something about her/their tactics that seems wrong, including buying acreage in town as a protest base. This is probably not a popular opinion among the earnest lefties, but I wish she'd put a cork in it.
A year after her first protest in Crawford, Cindy Sheehan resumed her whatever-it-is on Sunday with 50 fellow hand-wringers. Once again, they marched toward POTUS's ranch. At the Secret Service checkpoint, Sheehan held up her driver's license and said she wanted to meet with The President."I do live here now," said Sheehan, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., and recently bought land in Crawford for war protests. "My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son." Her band of followers then began to shout: "This is what democracy looks like! This is what democracy sounds like!" After singing a glum folk song or two, they left the roadblock and returned to the protest site.
White House spokesman Tony Snow said that neither Bush nor his staff plan to meet with Sheehan. "I would advise her to bring water, Gatorade or both," Snow said when asked about Sheehan during a press briefing Friday.
