Cindy Sheehan Claims Bush Kiss Caused her 'Eye to Swell'
The National Ledger ^ | Dec 11 2005 | Jim Roberts

Posted on 12/12/2005 11:32:20 PM PST by jmc1969

She admits in the interview that her ex-husband pleaded with her to get professional help.

Sheehan paints the Bush she met as an almost gothic grotesque. “He was very cold, callous and rude to us,” she says. “The first thing he said was, ‘So who are we honorin’ here?’ He didn’t even know Casey’s name. He wouldn’t look at pictures of Casey that we’d brought with us.

He called me ‘mom’ the whole time, and he called Casey ‘the loved one’. He didn’t even say ‘him’. Bush said to my daughter, ‘I wish we could bring your loved one back,’ and she replied, ‘So do we.’ He shot her a dirty look and turned his back on her.”

Suddenly, Sheehan laughs at what seems to be the most inappropriate moment.

“Bush later kissed me on the right cheek,” she says.

“The next day – and I’m not kidding – my right eye swelled up to the size of a golf ball. I told everyone he’d given me some Republican disease.”

“The next day – and I’m not kidding – my right eye swelled up to the size of a golf ball. I told everyone he’d given me some Republican disease.”

So now she's cutting jokes about it. What a disgusting thing she is.

Her stories today are wholly different from her stories then too...when she told reporters that Bush was compassionate and caring. But that message will not carry with her new Michael Moore, Jesse Jackson, anti-war, anti-American crowd.

Disgusting.

She's a bitter, muddle-brained hater. Write her off.

This is extremely sad.

It is extremely different than how she originally described the meeting. A complete 180.

Somewhere along the line she was approached by Liberal activists and she accepted their proposal. She would lead their anti-war movement and they would make her rich and famous. Along the way, all she had to do was shed her integrity, alienate her family, and insult everything her son had believed in.

And now thousands of others have made this plea as well. She needs help.

I'm torn between being angry at Sheehan and her antics and pitying her. She is mentally disturbed. I don't detect the nihilistic cynicism in her that drives the Garafalos and Bob Beckels of the world. She's just going through her mental disorder in public, and the left is enthusiastically exploiting her. I'm not sure who's sicker, her or her handlers. At this rate there is no happy ending for Cindy Sheehan, and her so called friends are the ones bringing this tragedy to a head.

With a mind that far gone, does she suffer or just exist numbly?

Probably the time has come to just ignore her. She has become her own worst enemy.

She needs a LONG confinement to a psychiatric facility; before she does further harm to herself or others.

The stories will only get weirder from here as she tries to cling to any attention she can get. I feel an alien abduction story coming on.
