Cindy Sheehan has gone insane.

For those of you who don't know about Cindy Sheehan, don’t feel bad. As George Will noted, “has already been largely erased from the national memory by new waves of media fickleness in the service of the public's summer ennui.” And I hadn’t heard about her until she had been kicking and screaming for about two weeks of her campaign of complaining.

Now, I had promised on the ever-annoying Ms. Sheehan for later, ad this is pretty much it. For a full, deep enquiry, you should check Michelle Malkin, for insults, IMAO, and for a good quick analysis, Jason at IR.

The Story thus far.

Casey Sheehan was a brave, heroic US soldier fighting in Iraq, with an impressive service record. He died last year, fighting in Sadr city. And I’m not exaggerating his record.

Now, Cindy Sheehan, or Ms. Sheehan (and yes, I said Miss.... even though she’s married, her husband's filing for divorce right now for several reasons—it might be self-explanatory), is Casey’s mother.

Now, to start with, she met with President Bush. She came out calling him a good, decent, sincere man, but believes in what he does and says, even called him a man of faith.

Fast forward to summer 2005. The MoveOn.org loonies have gotten their hooks into her. MoveOn.org, which claims 3.3 million members and is the tail that wags the Democratic Party dog, adopted Sheehan during her Crawford demonstration, organizing 1,627 vigils around the country to express solidarity with her. But the DNC chair Howard ("I Hate the Republicans and Everything They Stand For") Dean, is not ripe for lessons in temperate rhetoric.

The result: Since her first meeting with the president, she has called him a "lying bastard," "filth spewer," "evil maniac," "fuehrer," the world's "biggest terrorist" who is committing "blatant genocide" and "waging a nuclear war" in Iraq. And, of course, saying other things that can be found in Fahrenheit 9/11 (but this link is cheaper)

And, oh, yes, she wants ANOTHER meeting with the President.

That would be an interesting conversation.

Now, as Ann Coulter noted in her article, “Call me old-fashioned, but a grief-stricken war mother shouldn't have her own full-time PR flack. After your third profile on ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ you're no longer a grieving mom; you're a C-list celebrity trolling for a book deal or a reality show.”

Laurence Simon has an essay on why Cindy Sheehan should meet with the President.... trust me on this, read it through all the way.

UPDATE:

Jason at IR [link above] has noted to me something interesting. Two people like Sheehan-- Daisy Duke and AL Sharpton. Yes, Dyke, (I mean Duke, total misprint, honest) the KKK fellow, and Al Sharpton, the black lawyer. What do they have in common with each other, AND Ms. Sheehan?

All three of them blame the same evil that's running America into the ground, controlling the country, out to take over the world's oil.

No, not Haliburton.

As IMAO would put it, it's the evil Zionist joooooooss.

Gimme a break. Can't this people dig up an original idea in their life?

Then again, these are the same people who started this century hating Haliburton, and have declared a small war on Wal-Mart because it's big business.

God save us.
