My Newest Hero

I just read some remarks by Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a boy killed in Iraq who is camping at the roadside in front of George W. Bush's Texas ranch during his five-week vacation taken while his war rages on. (I bet the boys in Iraq wish they could have a five-week paid vacation from hell.)

Cindy Sheehan is my newest hero. She has got guts, real grit, and she doesn't have to dress up in a flight suit either. She calls it like it is:

"That lying bastard, George Bush, is taking a five-week vacation in time of war!"

"And the other thing I want him to tell me is 'just what was the noble cause Casey [Sheehan] died for?' Was it freedom and democracy? Bullshit! He died for oil. He died to make your friends richer. He died to expand American imperialism in the Middle East. We're not freer here, thanks to your PATRIOT Act. Iraq is not free. You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism."

Ms. Sheehan wants to see Bush jailed for his behavior, and so do I. George W. Bush deserves to spend the rest of his days rotting in a cell, never seeing the sunshine, taking his morning dump out in the open where the other prisoners can watch, just like those poor fuckers he's got illegally held in Gitmo. He doesn't deserve better. He's a liar and a theif and a murderer by proxy.

Here's a recounting of her arrival at the Crawford ranch:
