Sheehan vs. Pelosi

Pardon me for posting this with a bit of a smirk on my face:

Cindy Sheehan, the soldier's mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to seek House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's congressional seat unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks.

Sheehan said she will run against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 as an independent if Pelosi does not seek by July 23 to impeach Bush. That's when Sheehan and her supporters are to arrive in Washington, D.C., after a 13-day caravan and walking tour starting next week from the group's war protest site near Bush's Crawford ranch.

Schadenfreude is such a guilty pleasure.

Pelosi, being challenged from the left - isn't that ironic :-)

Didn't Cindy Sheehan say a couple of weeks ago that she was going to retire from political activism?  That didn't take long.

i think she meant that she was leaving the Democrats, as a party, not necessarily political activism...

does anyone else besides me think this is a waste of time, money, and effort by her?  to challenge the incumbent Speaker?

I think it's great to remind the democrats that this moderate crap is not going to work on everyone.

I also think it's great that this thread proves once and for all that I'm a far better human being than Gordy.

Completely 100% Schadenfreude free :P

It's a thing of beauty.  It is always nice to see things come full circle. (evil grin....)

"We must unedrmine the Bush administration, its mandatory that we undermine the Bush administration".  That Cindy Sheehan.  I hope she wins!  She deserves it, the pride of the anti war movement.  How fitting that would be for the Dems.  (speaking of evil grins)
