Sheehan - Watching a Screwball

What can be said about Cindy Sheehan's squatter status outside of the Bush ranch and her deification by the anti-war left that hasn't already been said?

Is this woman crazy? Maybe a little. What I do think we are witnessing is an angry, slightly off woman who has become so impassioned in a cause, thrust forward as a spokesperson, so intoxicated by the attention, that she isn't about to let go. However, more importantly, she really is a political neophyte whose only utility to the left is the death of her soldier son and the media's attention.

However, it is important to note that she didn't suddenly decide to run off to Texas and become an anti-war heroine. She has been making the rounds for months spewing the most angry and downright stupid statements imaginable. Consider the following comments she made way back in April at a speech in San Francisco, which go in my file of "the stupidest political things people say":

"We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now...We want our country back and, if we have to impeach everybody from George Bush down to the person who picks up dog s--- in Washington, we will impeach all those people."
