FORT WORTH, Texas: Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan will return to her protest site near President George W. Bush's Texas ranch this weekend to bid farewell to the peace movement.

Sheehan will sell some camping items, gather with friends from previous demonstrations and celebrate her 50th birthday in Crawford, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Fort Worth. Then she will hand over the deed of her 5-acre (2-hectare) lot to its new owner, radio talk-show host Bree Walker.

"I'm feeling like it was the right decision for me. I feel like it was the best thing to do," Sheehan told The Associated Press on Tuesday by telephone en route to Texas.

She told the AP that she wanted to spend more time with her three children and that she wanted to change course.

Sheehan said Tuesday that she is asking people to join her in a 10-day walk from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., starting July 13 for a "people's accountability movement." On her blog, she said Bush's commuting the prison sentence of former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was "the straw that broke my camel's back of exhausted ennui."

"I tried to remove myself from the political realm of the U.S., what BushCo is turning into an Evil Empire, but the blatant audacity of George commuting Scooter's sentence ... has dragged me kicking and screaming back in," she wrote.

Sheehan, who turns 50 next week, will sell camping equipment and other items from the site now known as "Camp Casey." Sheehan said she plans to keep some of the personal mementos, such as the large painting of her son.

“I tried to remove myself from the political realm of the U.S., what BushCo is turning into an Evil Empire, but the blatant audacity of George commuting Scooter’s sentence ... has dragged me kicking and screaming back in.”

Translation, a few days out of the limelight is killing me.

[jennyjenny]

She is only 50 years old? Yikes.

But...but...I thought she already bid farewell to it weeks ago.

IMHO, she's an unaddulterated, abject media whore who is trying to milk more and more out of her ounce of shame. How sad and pathetic for her, how sad for her family...and most especially, how sad and shameful for the memory of her departed hero son, Casey.

[tsmith130]

I thought she already bid them farewell? Some people just can’t say goodbye and then really LEAVE!

[Hi Heels]

yes, well, this is what happens when the transporter malfunctions......

[TChris]

It hurts to be out of the spotlight! It hurts, it hurts!

This is all about meeeeeeeee!

[hardback]

Who is going to buy her crap? Does she really need the money that badly...

[MikeHu]

What — is she still here?

I thought she threatened we’d never hear from her again!

LOL I knew this attention whore couldn't stay away.

[rockabyebaby]

Oh my,,,,this bimbo just will not go away.....

[cjohnson1]

I miss her already... again..

[reagan_fanatic]

Sounds like the opportunity for a mass mooning if you ask me.

[hardback]

Someone has got to get pictures of her garage sale.

[Red Steel]

15 minutes yet?

[b4its2late]

She's only 50? Oh my. Well worn tire......

[Doogle]

Says She Will Walk from Atlanta to DC!

..we can only hope she skips along the white line on the shoulder....????..inches from weary eyed controlled flying semi's...more ???....hey Cindy wanna borrow a black jogging outfit?

[armymarinemom]

How do you make a media hormone? You take away her limelight.

[darkwing104]

Nothing worse than an attention whore whose time ended more than a year ago. She is so passe’ I guess this Paris Hilton want-to-be still needs to get a clue...

[MEGoody]

She is only 50 years old?

She looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet, doesn't she?

[Kerretarded]

has dragged me kicking and screaming back in

Between this statement and Hill and Bill's little skit, do the Dems really want to start portraying themselves as mafia members?

[McLynnan]

Cindy ping. Oh joy, she’s coming back. She just can’t take a hint. What makes her think anybody around here wants to buy any of her cr*p?

[Willow25]

Which is the biggest liar,the one on the left or the right..Both pretty pitiful!!!

Sheehan said Tuesday that she is asking people to join her in a 10-day walk from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., starting July 13

Better be a dang fast walker.

650 miles in 10 days.

Probably walk a half mile through each town for the cameras, then drive to the next.

I've done my share of long-distance walking, and I sure wouldn't want to do Atlanta to DC in July.

[CAWats]

Probably walk a half mile through each town for the cameras, then drive to the next.

I honestly didn't know people did that.

[newnhdad]

If her “walk” is anything like her “fast” she’ll spend most of the day riding around in a John Edwards campaign bus and jump out in big towns just long enough to get her picture taken with the local moonbats..

[OSTATE]

640 miles in ten days on this march huh?

This I have got to see....

[Shots]

There has to be a story here somewhere now where is it? Oh here it is “Cindy sends out inviations with RSVP to 50th Birthday Party no one accepts she then calls it a rummage sale” That march also sounds like a duzey that is roughly 62 miles a day DUH

[Wolverine]

Mabe Cindy is trying to raise money so she can buy a headstone for her son?

[Doctor Raoul]

A 10 day walk? Yeal like that'll happen.

I think Cindy's will fast too. Her patented "All You Can Eat Fast".

[Doctor Raoul]

Casey finally has a headstone.

[Right Cal Gal]

The Ditch Witch will have more farewell tours than Cher.

[mjp]

She must be taking new antipsychotic meds that are actually working.

[Bushbacker1]

Says She Will Walk from Atlanta to DC!

Get the route. Send a ton of drivers on the same route and start plinking pedestrians, errr, pedestrian!

[Right Cal Gal]

She’s so stupid she’ll take a wrong turn and arrive in downtown Houston 10 days later.

[Doctor Raoul]

Took SGT Craig Breiner from 6 am to 9:30 pm to go the 47 miles across New Jersey from the Atlantic Ocean to the State House in Trenton. And he was one hurting puppie when he got there.

Can't wait to see how Cindy fleeches the flock on her non-alk walk, just like her patented "All You Can Eat Fast".

[golas1964]

Walking from Atlanta into the sea would be more like it.

[Wolverine]

I think Cindy's will fast too. Her patented "All You Can Eat Fast".

 

A new weight loss regimen...hoping to get into size 6 DRESS?

[bannie]

Some people just can’t say goodbye and then really LEAVE!

Reminds me of clinton standing in the hangar of Air Force One after his gig was up. Man, he sucked everything out of that gig that he could!

[Old Professer]

You’d be walking in the dark part of each day.

[bannie]

GACK! Before and After--in one picture

[sgtbono2002]

She has more going away concerts than Babs Streisand.

I sure hope the weather is hot and the road is all uphill for Cindy.

I cant imagine why the Scooter Libby commutation would fire her up so.
I think maybe it was the first thing she could grab on to.

[SoftballMominVA]

Let’s see......650 miles in 10 days = 65 miles a day @ 4/5 mph = 13/16 hours a day of walking. And she’s 50 and (according to her) not in the best of health. Nope, can’t be done - especially in the deep south in the fat of summer.

[Old Professer]

He probably sucked the air out of the whole hangar.

[SoKatt]

She looks like a dump fire that was put out with a rake. :D

[bannie]

Well, he SUCKED!

Correct that verb tense: He SUCKS!

:-\

[dennisw]

Who loves ya baby!

[golas1964]

Reminds me of a funny Drew Carey standup bit about pedestrians:

(pretending to drive a car) ♪"Up on the sidewalk, pfft pfft pfft!"♪

[Sherman Logan]

I’m not sure there’s anybody on the planet who could do 650 miles in 10 days on foot. It would be quite a workout on a bike, for that matter.
