W. can't get no satisfaction on Iraq.
There's an angry mother of a dead soldier camping outside his Crawford ranch, demanding to see a president who prefers his sympathy to be carefully choreographed.
(snip)
Cindy Sheehan, a 48-year-old Californian with a knack for P.R., says she will camp out in the dusty heat near the ranch until she gets to tell Mr. Bush face to face that he must pull all American troops out of Iraq. Her son, Casey, a 24-year-old Army specialist, was killed in an ambush in Sadr City last year.
The president met with her family two months after Casey's death. Capturing W.'s awkwardness in traversing the line between somber and joking, and his love of generic labels, Ms. Sheehan said that W. had referred to her as "Mom" throughout the meeting, and given her the sense that he did not know who her son was.
The Bush team tried to discredit "Mom" by pointing reporters to an old article in which she sounded kinder to W. If only her husband were an undercover C.I.A. operative, the Bushies could out him. But even if they send out a squad of Swift Boat Moms for Truth, there will be a countering Falluja Moms for Truth.
It's amazing that the White House does not have the elementary shrewdness to have Mr. Bush simply walk down the driveway and hear the woman out, or invite her in for a cup of tea. But W., who has spent nearly 20 percent of his presidency at his ranch, is burrowed into his five-week vacation and two-hour daily workouts. He may be in great shape, but Iraq sure isn't.

Which one...Mo or Cindy??
RALPH...EARL...BUICK
Some rules are better-looking than others...
That is the only reason I looked at this thread.
I saw Dowd....and Knew that someone would post the the good looking chick that now sleeps with her ex.
I think MUTT is better.
Together Again.

"If only her husband were an undercover C.I.A. operative, the Bushies could out him. But even if they send out a squad of Swift Boat Moms for Truth, there will be a countering Falluja Moms for Truth."
If this woman ever had an ability to write it is gone.
Some male Freeper needs to take one for the team and sleep with this witch. We can turn her back to the good side!
I can't do this, as I'm married, so one of you single guys needs to do this -- preferably someone who knows what they are doing, but she might not care. Who's up to the challenge of turning this bitter woman into a Bushbot?
We won't ask anyone to do this for Helen Thomas -- suicide missions are not permitted!
Sorry, I'm just the waterboy
After this mission you'll be a waterMAN!!
Post #11 well said. Dowd is living in a bizarro world.
Coach said I could play, I'm now the punter
Just what this subject needs, is Dowdy's 2 cents. NOT
ROFLMAO!
She's even hot knocked-up and in Hungarian...
At least it rhymes
This is the new story since the Karl Rove one is fading away. Now we'll hear 24/7 about the callous Chief Executive who doesn't care about sacrificing young men and women...while they overlook his numerous visits to hospitals and families all these years. Of course a camera is not a part of these frequent visits, so unlike Clinton and his maudlin contrived displays of "feelings". Pres. Bush does not exploit other people for personal gain, and he has more sincere compassion than any President I can recall.
Amen!
Maureen "One time at bandcamp ..." Dowd.
WOW. You've outdone yourself my man.
You pwned their craniums for the moment, which makes them your Olds Media idiots. At least for a fleeting moment in time until their infantile attention span causes them to get bored and moveon to a new story.
This woman doesn't need an audience with the president, she needs one with a shrink and a perscription for Zoloft or Lithium.
Why doesn't Mo invite Cindy to tea?
Cindy Sheehan is no longer a grieving mother -- she's a manipulative political activist. I know this one -- her groupies hope to get the photo shoots of her "outrageousness", or her "strong womanly screech" against the President in all the papers.
It's a no brainer.
Got a mission for you.
I'm thinking she prefers females. Strap one on for the team! ;o)
Maureen, how about a nice cup of STFU?
"Hug. Rub her back. yeah. It's ok if you like it. Now smell her hair . . ."
