Camp Casey, Day 18 (BARF alert!)

Huffington Post ^ | August 25, 2005 | Cindy Sheehan

I got up really early today to head back to Camp Casey. On the way, I had some amazing conversations with people. In one of those conversations, I was talking to Tyler who was sitting next to me on one of the planes.

We were not talking about me and what I have been doing. Randomly, he told me he had just been in Texas about an hour north of Crawford. I said: "Wow that's where I am going and that's where I have been all month." He said: "I know I own a television." I thought that was pretty cute.

I got to Camp Casey and I arrived with a mom whose son, John, was killed on January 26, 2005, and his wife and baby, who never met his dad. We arrived in Waco at about 4:30 to the local press. The White House Press Corps was still with the president.

When I arrived at Camp Casey II this afternoon I was amazed at what has changed since I was gone. Now, we have a huge tent to get out of the sun; caterers; an orientation tent; a medic tent (with medics); a chapel, etc.

The narcissism continues. "I met a man on the airplane, and he already knew me from TV! I'm famous! Not that it's about me..." How utterly sickening.

Everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame..

A big tent. Perfect for the circus.

[RushCrush]

Joan Baez. HA HA HA HA HA HAA HAA HA HA HA HA HAA!!!!!!!!!

[GeorgiaDawg32]

If it were me on that plane, I'd request to be moved..that woman makes me sick even to think about it..she's a traitor who's aiding and abetting the enemy..somewhere, Bin Laden is smiling..he has a new "Minister of Propaganda" and he doesn't even have to pay her..

[conservativebabe]

Yeah, right, it's not about you Cindy. She is eating up the attention she is getting. This stopped being about Casey long ago.

For Casey to even join the Army, let alone being killed in battle was the thing that was most uncharacteristic of him.

It was so uncharacteristic that he reenlisted after the war in IRAQ already started. Cindy, give it a break you BS artist!

Cindy, your son is a hero and you are a zero.

I wonder if Toby was writing about Cindy when he wrote this?

I wanna talk about me, i wanna talk about i
Wanna talk about number 1 oh my, me, my,
What i think, what i like, what i know, what i want, what i see.
I like talkin' about you, you, you, you usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me! (me, me, me,) i wanna talk about me-e-e. (me, me, me)

[Bahbah]

I sobbed and sobbed. I was surrounded by photographers....

No comment.

Nice rack Infidel. I declare you to be wife number 34. We'll have to get you to Omar's Orthodontia and Rug shop to fix that Bucky Beaver overbite.

Seriously! "It's so unlike him not to do everything his mommy tells him. He's such a good, obedient boy, mommy hasn't had to spank in many years. It's impossible to believe that the would breathe, much less enlist, without checking with mommy. Why would he leave the house where he was watched over and guided 24x7 by such a loving mommy?

Jeez, I'd enlist to get away from the smothering.

"I met a man on the airplane, and he already knew me from TV! I'm famous! Not that it's about me..."

Yep, we're getting to know all about her and it doesn't look too good.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

ROFL ROFL..Now THAT'S FUNNY..

[Shalom Israel]

I told the people at the Camp named after him, that when he was about 2 years old, he would come up behind me and throw his arms around my legs, kiss me on the butt and say: "I wuv you mama."

I'm a little surprised this didn't jump out at people as well. If Casey were alive, would he enjoy hearing this story told? From another perspective, it helps explain her current rampage: she needs to fill the void by surrouding herself with libs that will continue kissing her butt.

Did the guy ask you about your mother? Did he want to know why you prefer the warm glow of the camera to that of the home fire? Ms. Sheehan, have you ever heard that pride goeth before a fall? You might want to give that some thought.

I told the people at the Camp named after him, that when he was about 2 years old, he would come up behind me and throw his arms around my legs, kiss me on the butt and say: "I wuv you mama.

Are there any two year olds who don't do that or something similar?

[Shalom Israel]

I know Casey will be waiting for me when it is my turn, and I know when I finally get there he's going to hug me and say:

"I've been assigned the task of escorting you to hell. This way, please. Do not try to resist."

In addition to all this, the portrait is so beautiful and moving and it captures Casey's spirit so well. I sobbed and sobbed. I was surrounded by photographers, I looked around until I finally found a friendly face, then the news people crushed in on me and I couldn't breathe. I didn't mean to have such a dramatic re-entrance to Camp Casey, but the huge portrait of Casey really surprised me.

I, I, I, Me, Me, Me, I'M THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE!
