Cindy Sheehan, the soldier’s mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks.
Sheehan said she will run against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 as an independent if Pelosi does not seek by July 23 to impeach Bush. That’s when Sheehan and her supporters are to arrive in Washington, D.C., after a 13-day caravan and walking tour starting next week from the group’s war protest site near Bush’s Crawford ranch.
Another Grim Milestone
Pelosi will be the moderate candidate in the primary. The media will embrace this fervently I’d guess.
Struggling … and failing, for relevance. The face of Democrats.
I thought she was done. Retired. Back with her family where she belongs.
As much as I’d hate to see Rep. Sheehan, St. Cindy has my support. The House has been a bore since that other nutbar Cindy left. And Pelosi could then go fellate Ahmadinijad on her own dime.
Ah… no Shawn, the Madonna of the Ditch is addicted to the limelight and adoration of the Media. The standard “15 minutes of fame” is not nearly enough.
Hey, I’m for it. How long do I have before I have to move to that District and register?
Pelosi is Speaker. That takes seniority, and she’s been a politician for a long time, so has lots of favors to trade on. Rep. Sheehan would be a freshman without the pull to get on the Garbage Collection subcommittee, and she’s a lunatic monomaniac without any trace of ability to work the political system. I’ll take that trade in a heartbeat.

Lamont-Sheehan ticket for President is what I’m hoping to see.
I see Mommy Sheehan is still wearing her son’s corpse like a Miss America sash.
Convention Whore.
I’m sorry, I know it’s crude, but this is just too easy. It will be a close race–between a C*nt and an A**hole.
FACE-IST!!!
perhaps the good perfessor could weigh in on your obsession.
“Rep. Sheehan would be a freshman without the pull to get on the Garbage Collection subcommittee, and she’s a lunatic monomaniac without any trace of ability to work the political system.”
Yes, well, her moral authority is absolute! You know, like the U.N. General Assembly’s. And Hugo Chavez’s.
Cordially…
C’mon, guys, get with the program here.
Losing Pelosi would be a blow in the gut to the Moonbat Caucus. Oh, they’ll recover, never doubt it, but there’s no way in Hell a Republican would ever manage it, and turning her seat over to a newbie with several screws missing — let alone loose — is almost as good. Look at Pelosi’s District (the 8th of California). Downtown SF, the Mission, the Haight and the Avenues, USF, and the squalid projects on Hunter’s Point. The even vaguely working, entrepreneurial, and generally semi-sane class all live in the bite out of the southwest corner. If Cindy! gets the nod, she’s a shoo-in because ninety-nine percent of the people eligible to vote there might as well be clones.
Send the woman money! Give ’til it hurts!
And — I can’t; I don’t have the access or the storage space; but somebody needs to start visiting Leftist and MSM web sites, downloading, archiving, and documenting them, and preferably indexing them, with links. The Democrats have to head this off, and the only way they can do that is to discredit Sheehan. When they try, we need to be ready to throw their own sanctimony about “unquestionable moral authority” back in their faces.
Sheehan for Congress! Time for a Change! Get on the bandwagon now!

I always did kind of admire her.
Fortunately, they’re too detached from reality to grasp that little fact. This could be lots and lots of fun, and not quite as quixotic as it appears on its face.
PALOMINO! PALOMINO! PALOMINO!
This seals it – Sheehan is a deep-cover Rove operative. What better way to scuttle the Donks’ ’08 campaign than to have a wild-eyed media whore with sandwich boards and a megaphone making a credible primary run at your Speaker?
No, Jeffersonian. Stuff that.
They’ll be trying to push it off, but we are not gonna take the rap for this one, and I think I speak for the entire Vast Right Wing Conspiracy on this. Sheehan belongs to the Democrats and the nutroots. She was built from nothing by the combined efforts of Kos and the DNC; Karl Rove had nothing to do with it.
Somewhere in Washington, D.C. there is a table at a bar where two or more Democrats sit looking at one another, shaking their heads and moaning, “We’ve created a monster.” The annoying sound you hear is me laughing my ass off. Enjoy it, f*heads.

Ric
Yeah, but rumor has it, Ric, that one of those guys actually went so far as to bang her. You can disagree with the methods, but you have to admire the absolute dedication, I think. Perhaps I’m weak-willed, but there just isn’t enough beer.
If you create a monster and then bang it, is that incest? Or does the monster have to be created from relatives’ parts?
PW munster virgin. Totally spooky.
To the echoing cries of “Encore! Encore!” from the sparse audience, Cindy Sheehan slowly walks onto the stage, hesitates a moment, the climbs the ladder to the shiny wooden surface. Slowly, ever so slowly, she once again begins to tapdance on her sons coffin.
There’s zero chance the gay voters in Pelosi’s district will vote her out as long as she shows up every Gay Pride Parade and marches with the founder of NAMBLA, but this would be fun to watch.
Looking somewhat frail, winded from the climb, Sheehan stands poised a moment at the edge of the platform, a dizzying height to the ground, as the audience stares rapt. Suddenly, the raises her arms and executes a perfect jacknife into the tiny coffin below. Miraculously, she emerges unharmed, as the crowd applauds wildly.
God, I love it when they turn cannibalistic.
Channeling Yosemite Sam ? …… sooner or later she’ll figure out expensivedom costs more than two bits . But hey , if I coughed up two bits to see a high diving act …
How long until Cindy digs up Casey and turns him into a ventriloquist’s dummy?
Dan, fixed that for you.
C’mon, let’s be serious here. There’s strategy to work out.
Yeah, GMG, Pelosi’s in solid with the gays, but is there any indication that Sheehan can’t swing that way? I haven’t followed her career — as in “careering from pillar to post” — so I don’t know. Has she actually offended any gays? Made homophobic remarks? Because the gays in SF are about a third moonbat first, gay second. Yeah, there are a bunch of tough-minded ones who realize that having a long-term rep outweighs a lot of ideological consequences, but they’re definitely in the minority, and even they are pissed that Bush hasn’t had an appointment with Dr. Guillotin.
She can do this. The only way to get a better representative of the people of Cal8 would be to select a random individual off the street somewhere in the Upper Mission. All she really needs is a decent campaign manager/adviser. There are plenty around; all it takes is money. Send her some. I’m going to as soon as I can find out where, along with a letter cribbed from Daily Kos diaries complimenting her on her steadfastness in the face of adversity. You do the same, all of you.
Sheehan for Congress! Time for a Change! VOTE for Moral Authority!
Buuuuuuuuuuuuwaahahhahahahaha….

Ric
Ric, Ric, Ric, don’t get yourself too worked up yet. There’s always the chance Pelosi will submit articles of impeachment and then you’ll just crash and we can’t have that. go pet the kittens. okay, maybe light a candle if you want, but save your excitement till the 23rd.
tw: ascending massacre…. one can only hope.
If it’s good enough for Lieberman, it’s good enough for Pelosi.
Cindy needs a campaign slogan. I’m thinking something along the lines of, “Vote Sheehan in ’08. No, seriously, the bugs that live under your skin COMMAND YOU!”
Catchy, no?
