Cindy Sheehan Jumps Shark Yet Again

Buckethead Buckethead

Cindy Sheehan, who has already seriously abused the fifteen minute rule for fame, has vowed to chain herself to the White House Fence until all the troops are brought home. I had some sympathy for her when she first appeared on the scene. No longer. To insist that all the troops be brought home immediately - in defiance of any logic or strategic considerations - is merely petulance.

I'm sure her son would be proud of the use to which she's put his memory.

FanTASTIC! "I have the courage to LAY DOWN for what I believe is right."

Perfect, and emblematic.

Does anyone else ardently hope that Sheehan and her crazy camp-followers of the ANSWER and Anarchist stripe represent the (finally!) last gasp of the 60's-stylee protest movement?

I mean, jesus. Protest can be a positive good, and the right to do so is (within reason) enshrined right there in the Bill of Rights. But the damn hippies ruined it for us all with their giant puppets and jackass slogans and catchall demagoguery and hey hey! ho ho! with the gabba gabba n'hey n'glavening.

I'm sort of a liberal, in a minarchist/economic moderate kind of way (wha??) and I wish that the pissed-off-angry fringes would get over their self-righteous whiny counterproductive and reactionary asses, kick Joan Baez, the Stalinists, and Mike Moore to the curb, and get a frigging life already, or at least figure out a new chant!

So basically, I'm rooting for Cindy Sheehan for the same reason I'm rooting for Harriet Miers... for the enormous potential for humilation or at least pathetic failure that could accrue to each side.

... apropos of nothing, could we update Gordon Gekko for the '00s? "Gridlock... is good. Gridlock... is right."
