This is an update to my thread the other night about Cindy Sheehan. A group called Yearly Kos was auctioning off Cindy Sheehan to do a speaking engagement. Last time I checked, the bids were up to $1,275.00.
There is also a thread about this auction on the eBay sellers central discussion forum called "AHHHHHH! Uh, well, at least shipping is free. Is this for real?" It can be found at http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?threadID=1000218333 This thread is still running in that forum, even after several days. Several of the posters there noted that the Cindy Sheehan auction violated ebay's policys, and apparently ebay looked at it and has pulled the auction, and the other items that were up for auction by the Yearly Kos. They have had various items for auction such as a Bush voodoo doll, a Bush pull my finger fart doll and other Bush hating paraphenalia.
Anyway, the auction was pulled by ebay
That's okay, she can still join The Right One if she needs a way to meet people who don't smell bad.
When I first saw this, I wondered who would buy her and what would she bring?
I figured some goofy local community group in Massachusetts (where I live) would have a "Bakesale for Peace" or something and buy her. That's about her speed these days, bake sales and community spaghetti dinners.
How much for a private dance?
Yech.
Of course the "item" in question violated eBay policy.
Still, I kind of like the ring to "Cindy Sheehan for sale to the highest bidder!"
Could I buy her and place her in a dunking tank? I could probably get my money back with a booth on the street during Mardi Gras.
She says something insulting to this nation and people could throw a ball and dunk the clown.
LOL!
Laugh of the day.
Yes, you can, but only if you dunk her in jelly, on a hot Arizona afternoon in August, while W is relaxing on the ranch. And then leave her out to dry.
Ahhh too bad. We could have put up another auction that could be search tagged to come up along with the speaking event auction:
"One used speaking doll. Unit speaks but memory chip is badly damaged and typically gives out random nonsensical utterances. Doll stands but leans heavily to the left. Item is well past 15 minute useful life period, so please bid at your own risk."
It is interesting to note that after five days, she was still only worth $1275. The starting prise was $900.00.
Ebay didn't just pull her auction. They pulled all of the Yearly Kos's auctions.
Probably that highest bid was by her ex-husband. He probably was trying to send her to some head hunters in the Middle East to give one of her "It's Bush's Fault" speeches.
