Grieving Mom Cindy Sheehan and 70s Kung-fu expert and counterculture icon Billy Jack discuss strategies for twenty-first century anti-war activism while ostensibly maintaining their commitments to fighting global terrorism, 6

image “My White House vigil is coming up, Billy.  And this time I’ll be joined by Katrina survivors.  Because in Bush’s America we are all victims—from those of us who’ve lost a child to the Presdident’s illegal war to those of us who’ve lost, like, a mattress, to Bush’s illegal hurricane.  Which is why it’s time for us to stand up and be counted: to show the media, Congress, and this inept, corrupt, and criminal administration that we mean business! We want our country back and we want our nation’s young people back home, safe and sound, on our shores to help protect America! That it is time for a change in our country’s ‘leadership’! That we will never go away until our dreams are reality!” *
image “Sure, sure, Fight the Powers and all that.  But don’t forget your permit this time, okay?  Or your crowd?  Because frankly—a disorganized lady in a straw hat screaming into a disabled microphone in front of a happening of confused-looking Boomers in ill-fitting hippie regalia?—not quite a Winter Soldier moment, I’m afraid.”*

  1. AWG says:

    Wow, even Billy Jack seems to be getting tired of CINDY!.  How much longer until he finally snaps and tells her she’s on minute 18, already?

  2. Uncle Squid says:

    Whoa.  Cindy and the Say Anything girl are standing RIGHT NEXT to each other.

    I know which one I’d follow.

  3. That tool Zool: “You would think that here in New York City, at Union Square—our Hyde Park—you would think…”

    You would think that Washington Square Prk is mighty pissed off, dummy. And considering all the NYU kiddies haunting that park, you might have actually gotten a decent crowd to turn out.

    Schmuck.

  4. Dana Barrett:

    There was this… space, with a building or something with flames coming out of it, and there were creatures writhing around it, and they were growling and snarling. And there were flames, and I heard a voice say “Zool” I mean it was right here.

    Dr. Peter Venkman:

    Well I’m sorry, I’m just not getting any reading

  5. mojo says:

    Dr. Peter Venkman:

    Zoolie, Zoolie, Zoolie! Who’s been a bad little monkey, huh?

  6. 3rd_Bird says:

    I’d like to see Billy make her drive her bus into the Potomac.

  7. Sean M. says:

    Dr. Peter Venkman: “I want to talk to Dana.”

    Dana Barrett: “There is no ‘Dana.’ Only Zuul.”

  8. Mark says:

    Dana Barrett: There is no ‘Dana.’ Only Zuul.

    CINDY!:  Zuul is a JEW.  And we all know how much I hate JEWS.

  9. The_Real_JeffS says:

    A poster over on Tim Blairs blog (he lives in New York) noted that Mommy Cindy attracted only 150 people to her Union Square protest.  This is in ”…one of the great epicenters of slovenly leftism in New York…”.

    Wow, what a rousing success.  She really must be an inspiration to the country.

  10. Paul Zrimsek says:

    Karl Rove and Egon (in unison): I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

  11. CINDY! says:

    You get America out of New Orleans and there won’t BE anymore terrorism!

  12. mojo says:

    Dr Ray Stantz: Gozer the Gozerian… good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.

    Dr. Peter Venkman: [Sarcastically] That oughta do it. Thanks very much, Ray.

    SB: suddenly

    One of Frankie’s best

  13. Forbes says:

    We could only wish Cindy was the Rosa Parks of the anti-war movement: employed by the ACLU, and not leaving her seat.

    (As if Cindy’s act isn’t transparent enough, though.)

  14. Murel Bailey says:

    Cindy is a babe. Guys dig chicks with huge tufts of gray armpit hair.

    TW: Posters should refrain from making remarks in bad taste.

  15. BLT in CO says:

    I enjoyed the unfocused and insurmountable illogic of this guy, who apparently spoke just before Cindy:

    …Dustin Langley of the Troops Out Now coalition, who urged the anti-warriors milling in the bright sun to “open a new front of resistance right here. Bring Falluja to New York and shut it down!”*

    Wait.  Shut down New York?  Bring in Syrian and other foreign fighters as well as remnant Baathist Saddamites to kill American soldiers in New York in order to further the ends of radical Islamic jihad?  Or something?  What could he possibly have meant by that tortured bit of English?

  16. Murel Bailey says:

    BLT, he probably meant

    Blah blah right-wing Rumsfeld warmonger chickenhawk evil Bushies Wolwowitz and his neocon cabal for oiloiloiloiloiloil blah blah ignorant stupid bloodthirsty morons, the real axis of evil on a ranch in Crawford and blah blah blah no WMD he lied, Bushitler lied, people died died died tie-dyed peace peace peace down with the Zionists! peace peace Kyoto! they hate us they hate us they hate us and what can we do and root causes and root causes and blowback and Plame and Plame and Chalabi Plame Wilson blah blah blah unilateral multinational Halliburton Enronism crony capitalism and it’s all about oiloiloiloil blah blah blah, cowboyish disregard for allies, for the wishes of the world community who rise up against us, the terrorist threat is overblown and anyway, it’s all our fault because we gave Saddam his weapons to begin with, photo of Rummy and Hussein, but make no mistake, he no longer has those weapons because inspections worked, containment worked, and blah blah blah Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Sudan handle it, Roy, handle it handle it, Caspian pipeline oiloiloiloil blah blah blah show me the stockpiles, anthrax CIA plant Richard Clarke said so and we believe him because and unless unless unless Abu Ghraib Abu Ghraib Abu Ghraib, square-jawed cocksucking military jarhead torturing fucks, bring home our troops! We care about the troops! We support the troops and don’t you question our patriotism our love for this fucking filthy crass consumerist bullying country of redneck dolts and biblethumping bourgeois suburbanites with their SUVs and where are the CAFE standards fight the real terror, eco-terror, Israel, the US, imperialist colonialist racist homophobic hegemonic and blah blah blah blah blah because dissent is patriotism and fighting against your country is really fighting for your country and our dissent keeps the nation strong and we’re brave and heroic and up is down and black is white and oiloiloiloiloiloiloiloil blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.â„¢*

  17. file closer says:

    A future unfortunate side effect of Cindy! dropping off the radar screen will be the cessation of the “Billy Jack” pieces at PW.  Jeff’s version of Billy Jack is a guy I’d like to go on a pub crawl with.

  18. Dog (Lost) says:

    I LOVE CINDY!!!

    Any one who can only draw 150 people to a leftist rally in New York City is tits in my book!

  19. Joe says:

    Ok, no Bob Denver, but I think James Cromwell has the chops and the physical gifts to pull off the role of CINDY!

  20. The Warden says:

    Murel Bailey, that post was so damned….PERFECT that it’s caused me to quit blogging.

    I’m serious.  I’ve reached Nirvana.

  21. alppuccino says:

    It is no longer time for the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. It never has been the time for that. Our “now” is so fiercely urgent.

    Like the last verse of the poem “Poo Poo Head” written so passionately by my neighbor’s 6-year-old daughter:

    gorge buss is poo poo head

    he poop on his hed

    i play bratz with my little bruther

    my dog has a weener

    Let it pour over you.

    Cindy

  22. AWG says:

    Ok, no Bob Denver, but I think James Cromwell has the chops and the physical gifts to pull off the role of CINDY!

    I’ve been thinking Matthew Lillard should play CINDY!.  He’s played Shaggy in not one but two Scooby Doo movies, and CINDY! has been bearing an uncanny resemblance to Shaggy, in my opinion.

  23. AWG says:

    “bearing an uncanny resemblence to Shaggy lately”, I meant.  downer

  24. AWG says:

    my dog has a weener

    Let it pour over you.

    Yikes, talk about iconic accidents and unintended signifiers (I hope!!!)!

    gulp

    How long before we see CINDY! erect Camp Tyler?

    Cheers – DC
