Cindy Sheehan Quits

Proudly announcing her irrelevancy, Cindy plans to retire to Crawford and live in a tree! No kidding! She said it!

For most Americans, after what seems like a lifetime of waiting, Crazy Cindy Sheehan, is going away, fading into nothing, like a bad smell when someone opens the windows.

I haven't posted anything for a couple of weeks. Why? Because she really hasn't done anything in that time span.

I don't consider her trips to the hospital, her stays in local motels, or stopping by Camp Casey XXII to hug a deserter, to be "events".

Mama Moonbat has become utterly unreliable as an entertainer. She promised to show up for a Moonbat gathering in Vermont in early August, but bailed out to join a CodeOink pilgrimage to Jordan. In late August, she had said that she would join Salt Lake City's Mayor Anderson in an effort to annoy President Bush as he addressed the VFW. No-show again. "Female troubles". The beginning of September was to mark a new phase in her professional career: she would be in Washington, DC, as part of "Camp Democracy" demonstration. This was to have been the moment at which she would announce that the focus of her antics would henceforth embrace "immigrants’ rights and organized labor." source As of September 1... she canceled, citing health problems. source

The truth is that Cindy is not dependable as a draw. Organizations pay her good money to show up at their events. It generates media exposure and draws bigger crowds. When she bails, they get left holding the proverbial bag. More significantly, Crazy Cindy has been dropped by the extreme left organizations that created her. The International Socialist Organization was one of the sponsors of "Camp Democracy", but has withdrawn its funding. She once was a regular feature on the Huffington Post. Not anymore. CodeOink, which sponsored the delegation to Jordan, doesn't even mention Sheehan's participation in their description of the trip that appears on their homepage. Her e-mail account has been suspended. source. Sheehan has achieved total irrelevancy according to the Waco Tribune. source This summer the average population at Camp Casey XXXXIII hovered around 50 and the number of camera crews was near zero. Rather than deny the charge, Cindy has chosen to put a positivespin on the end of her career as a war protestor, saying, "A huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders now. The anti-war movement is strong and thriving and it no longer needs a 'face.' I have been promoted to irrelevancy and am feeling pretty darn good about that accomplishment!" on Michael Moore's website. It may or may not still need a "face", Cindy, but it definitely doesn't need YOUR "face".

It appears that CodeOink is grooming Diane Wilson to take Cindy's place (at least Wilson knows that "fasting" does not involve ice cream, protein powder, smoothies and Jamba Juice) and Huffington replaced Mama Moonbat long ago. Sheehan has truly become a cartoon character. She was arrested while protesting the war in front of the White House. She was arrested for disruptive behavior at the President's State Of The Union speech. She was arrested for trespassing at the United State's mission to the UN. Her most recent arrest was in Crawford ... for failing to pay a parking ticket. She was going through her usual routine, specifically; finding a security checkpoint/roadblock, confronting an authority figure (a county Sheriff will do, but Secret Service is better), holding up a picture of Casey or an out-of-state driver's license, and demanding an audience with the President of the United States. She knows that she has had her one and only meeting with the leader of the free world. The police/Sheriff/Secret Service agents know that she doesn't really think that they're going to give her access to the President's ranch. It's all just for whatever cameras happen to be there. It's like showing up at the office. Then the unexpected happened, two officers from Woodway (a suburb of Waco) arrived to arrest Sheehan for failing to appear in court to answer a charge of following another vehicle too closely. Although she was technically under arrest, she was not handcuffed and was allowed to use her own car to follow the Woodway squad car (not too closely) back to the courthouse where she was not booked and paid the fines, which totaled $400. Unfortunately, Sheehan had given the money to pay the fines to her Spokesbat, Tiffany Burns. Yes, THAT Tiffany Burns, the one who got arrested in an Austin, Texas, hotel while protesting an appearance by Karl Rove. Burns apparently just forgot to pay the fines. Moonbat alert! source

So this is how the saga of Crazy Cindy ends; not with a bang, but a whimper. Her family (with the exception of her sister and her three surviving children) has disowned her. Her husband has divorced her. She's been kicked to the curb by her political allies, except for a few such as Willie Nelson (he bought her a bio-diesel generator for the camp and invited her to spend several days as a guest at his ranch). Her last arrest was for a traffic violation which she can't blame on BushCo/Chimpy McHitler. And as a final note ... wait for it...

Even Yahoo! has downgraded Cindy from "hurricane" to "blowhard". On 09/10/06 - a search of Yahoo!'s index for the term "Cindy Sheehan" showed Cindy's gsfp.org in second place, for the first time ever, with wikipedia coming in FIRST!!!
