ARREST FOLLOWS YEARS OF OUTRAGE (Or, the Making of a Moonbat)

It was March 2003, the eve of the US invasion of Iraq, and into the office of dumbfounded Pakistani newspaper editor Najam Sethi walked an articulate, fresh-faced Vermont woman, saying she wanted to vent her anger at America in his pages.

Violence-plagued Lahore teemed with anti-American sentiment, yet Catherine C. Mayo seemed to move about with ease, Sethi recalled. And writing for the Daily Times of Pakistan, Mayo told about her 1960s activism. About her love of Cat Stevens and Howard Dean. About the mountains and lakes of her native Vermont. And about her shame and anger at America.

An in-depth look at Catherine C. Mayo, the Vermont broad who caused a flight from Heathrow to DC to be diverted to Logan this week. This story hits on all the common themes . . . a great insight into the mind of a moonbat.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Here's what she looks like:

[Hemingway's Ghost]

``I am an American child of the 1960s," she wrote on March 18, 2003, two days before US troops poured into Iraq. ``We defied the standards of our parents and declared that a war was unjust. All conflicts can be settled by peaceful means."

Sounds like Sunflower Moonbeam Peacelove took too many acid trips while listening to her Cat Stevens records.

Her court-appointed lawyer, Page Kelley, said Mayo suffers from mental illness, and authorities plan to determine if she is mentally competent to stand trial.

So it's true - liberalism really IS a mental disease!!!

[HEY4QDEMS]

SO it wasn't a panic attack after all. How bout that.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

According to Charles Krauthammer, a board certified psychiatrist, there is a new mental illness called BDS, Bush Derangement Syndrome.

``I am an American child of the 1960s"

In other words, "Drugs and free love are what I miss the most".

[wideawake]

The most important new fact from this article is that her Pakistani editor says he hadn't seen her for six months prior to her arrest.

We know she hates America, we know she sympathizes with militant Islam, we know that she was at least breifly romantically involved with a Pakistani - where did she disappear to in those six months in Pakistan?

Who was she staying with? What was she up to?

She is not just a crazy lady - she is a dimwitted operative of some group.

[Psycho_Bunny]

All conflicts can be settled by peaceful means.

Only a brain with the computing power of a thimble could come to such a conclusion.

How her nervous system is able to muster the intellectual firepower required to keep her heart beating while simultaneously walking is beyond me.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

From the article:

"During the flight from London, Mayo first alarmed passengers by pulling out a just-banned bottle of water, according to an FBI affidavit filed in court yesterday. Then she allegedly made comments that led the flight crew to believe she was referring to a bomb and that she was associated with Al Qaeda.

Passengers said she had paced up and down the aisle and at one point urinated on the floor.

One of Mayo's three sons, Josh, 31, described his mother as a peace activist and said she had been in Pakistan since March. ``I guess she just had a bit of a bad time on the plane, and everybody's a little paranoid," he told Associated Press.

Yeah, that's it. Hey Mom, don't eat the red licorice . . .

EXTREMELY good point.

She could have been doing anything during those six months, including diddling around with the bad guys.

SO it wasn't a panic attack after all. How bout that.

People having panic attacks are, well, panicky, but still generally lucid. And I've never known of anyone in a panic attack publicly urinating on the floor!!

I don't think our airlines are really going to be safer until we get over our politically correct nonsense and profile. Use extra security measures on Muslims and moonbats.

[MediaMole]

About her love of... Howard Dean.

Yeahhhhhaaahhghhgggghh!!!!

[billhilly]

A Sheehan with Mayo please. One crazy sandwich.

[razorback-bert]

Oh, Im bein followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

[schwing_wifey]

Just goes to show you... Froot Loops come in lots of different flavors...

BTW... how does she have the funds for all those long distance trips? And paying her rent in the US a year in advance each time????

Who's her sugar daddy or how does she make her money??? .....wait, I can see it now... some type of family trust fund....

;D

Thanks for the tip. From the Scotto Bloggo, some bon mots from the peeing moonbat, posing as journalism. Prepare to be enlightened, ladies and gents:

"The folksongs of the 1960s will never be written again because of President George Bush. He has hampered the liberties of my country in the name of September 11. Songs now can only talk of patriotism they cannot mention peace."

[Lazamataz]

I'd hit it.

But she might be a relative.

So I better not.

Passengers said she had paced up and down the aisle and at one point urinated on the floor. She was handcuffed and subdued until F-15 jets escorted the plane to Logan. One of Mayo's three sons, Josh, 31, described his mother as a peace activist and said she had been in Pakistan since March. ``I guess she just had a bit of a bad time on the plane, and everybody's a little paranoid," he told Associated Press.

Lemisee...she openly displays banned items days after a terror scare, mutters about Al Queda while walking up and down the asiles and then urinates on the floor and EVERYBODY else is paranoid??

Methinks this Son of Moonbeam needs his own mental evaluation.
