I'm thinking she'll survive without attention for about 30 minutes...

Yesterday she violated Rule One of nutroots politics as articulated by the Chairman himself: she undermined the Democratic Party.
Twenty-four abusive hours later, on a day dedicated to honor people like her son, Mother Sheehan’s decided it’s time to pitch one last attention-getting fit and then take her absolute moral authority ball and go home.
=====================================================
I was the darling of the so-called left as long as I limited my protests to George Bush and the Republican Party. Of course, I was slandered and libeled by the right as a “tool” of the Democratic Party. This label was to marginalize me and my message. How could a woman have an original thought, or be working outside of our “two-party” system?
However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the “left” started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used…
The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing…
I am going to take whatever I have left and go home. I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children and try to regain some of what I have lost. I will try to maintain and nurture some very positive relationships that I have found in the journey that I was forced into when Casey died and try to repair some of the ones that have fallen apart since I began this single-minded crusade to try and change a paradigm that is now, I am afraid, carved in immovable, unbendable and rigidly mendacious marble…
This is my resignation letter as the “face” of the American anti-war movement. This is not my “Checkers” moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it.
I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources. Good-bye America …you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.
=======================================================
She’s not thinking of Nixon’s “Checkers” speech, she’s thinking of the press conference he gave after losing the California gubernatorial race in 1962. Wrong to the bitter end.
Goodbye Cindy, you America-hating POS.
She’s also correct about being a “tool,” but I’m likely using it in a different sense than she is...
Gets her out of having to comment on what her buddy Hugo is doing down south too.
Now that the media doesnt support her she quits,what a disgrace
WHO ELSE BESIDES ME IS SAYING “THANK GOD”, SHE LOVED EVER MINUTE OF IT, CAN’T YOU TELL THE WAY SHE HAD TO GET IN ONE LAST JIBE AT AMERICA. good freaking ridence
It was a long 15 minutes.
She is slow. Stupid comes to mind.
Is she getting rid of the ranch in Texas?
Is she going to leave the country?
ping
Do you think she knows that Checkers was a dog?
If the media would have curtailed their coverage earlier, Cindy would taken this action soon thereafter. It is all about the fading spotlight.
I'm thinking she'll survive without attention for about 30 minutes...
And the horse you rode in on, Cindy.
If you really, really hate America so much lady (and I use that term loosely) then leave it!
I’m sure Canada would welcome you with open arms, or how about Iran? Of course you’d have to give up all the ‘freedom’ you enjoy here.
Sanity?
WTF?!!
I'd say her post pretty much establishes this was correct.
