In a long-winded Daily Kos post entitled "Good Riddance Attention Whore," Sheehan whines about how she was chewed up and spit out by the libs.
She wrote:
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.
It’s up to you now.
To use her words, the "attention whore" changed her mind.
CRAWFORD, Texas -- 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.
"I know what Californians care about," Sheehan said. "They don't care about the ruling power elite."
Sheehan first told The Associated Press on Sunday about her plans to challenge the top-ranking Democrat. She made it official Tuesday at Camp Casey, named after her 24-year-old son, whose death in Iraq first led Sheehan to set up camp in Crawford in 2005 to demand a meeting with Bush, who was on vacation at the time.
...Sheehan says Bush should be impeached because she believes he misled the public about the reasons for going to war, violated the Geneva Convention with the torture of detainees and crossed the line by commuting the prison sentence of former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
After her announcement, Sheehan and about 20 anti-war protesters began their 13-day trip with a symbolic march to the edge of Crawford, where a billboard of Bush and first lady Laura Bush welcomes visitors.
This is sad.
Sheehan is a joke. Not that Pelosi isn't, but Sheehan's publicity stunts are pathetic.
Had she stayed out of the public eye for a while as she promised she maybe would have regained some credibility.
As I feared, that was not to be.
I suspect that Sheehan will follow in Barbra Streisand's footsteps and have multiple retirement tours.
