A year after her first war protest in President Bush's adopted hometown attracted thousands and reinvigorated the nation's peace movement, Cindy Sheehan resumed her vigil Sunday.
Under the blazing Texas sun, Sheehan and more than 50 demonstrators again marched a mile and a half toward Bush's ranch, stopping at a roadblock. As Secret Service agents stood silently, Sheehan held up her California driver's license and said she wanted to meet with the president.
"It doesn't say my new address, but I do live here now," said Sheehan, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., and recently bought land in Crawford for war protests. "My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son."
The group then chanted, "This is what democracy looks like! This is what democracy sounds like!" and a few people sang "This Land Is Your Land" while standing near the roadblock before returning to the protest site.
White House spokesman Tony Snow has said that neither Bush nor his staff plan to meet with Sheehan.
"I would advise her to bring water, Gatorade or both," Snow said when asked about Sheehan during a press briefing Friday. "Honestly, when you're talking about the kind of issues that we're talking about, Cindy Sheehan hasn't risen to the level of staff meetings at this point."

I don't know about you folks, but who the hell has time or $$$ to travel around the world bi#$@ing about Bush? I can hardly find time to watch a DVD these days. What a complete attention whore.
Any lightning bolts come her way?
She looks so hot, tired, and miserable out there in the Texas sun.
Good.

You gotta love it! I never cared much for Snow, but, now my respect for him has grown immensely. He seems born to be the press secretary.
Arrest her for accusing the President of a crime.
I hope the Texas sun fries her brain.

I doubt if there is one left to fry.
Here: Give Jihad a Chance
Cindy loves her paparrazi.
The good part is it rained today across Texas. The bad part is Momma Moonbat was here while it was cool. Rain won't last for long. But there is hope: August is always our hottest month.:-)
A CINDY SHEEHAN WET T-SHIRT....
Good grief, if I knew I were going to be in the press and have photos etc, I'd try to look a little nicer. Nothing she has on really matches.
Very dishonorable to the son. It is a fame thing.
I've turned down several assignments to cover her protests. They don't even ask me, anymore. Why should I photograph that skank when it's nearly football season?
Okay, that's disgusting.
(I mean the wet t-shirt part!)
;-)
Hmmm. Think your decision was the right one -- I like the picture of that young lady a lot better.
Cindy who?
banSheehan?
Nope, doesn't ring a bell...
As well I know from last August on Katrina weekend. I spent an hour in the ditch across from the protestors until an evening lightning and dust storm drove us to shelter.
I thot they were singing Kumbayah. Should be. It's a perfect match.
