Cindy Sheehan is threatening to run against Nancy Pelosi in the next election if Pelosi does not introduce articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks.
(AP) CRAWFORD, Texas Cindy Sheehan, the soldier’s mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks.
This is the same Cindy Sheehan who has faded into the background and desperately “retired” from Peace Activism in order to get some more attention.
Sheehan announced in late May that she was leaving the anti-war movement. She said that she felt her efforts had been in vain and that she had endured smear tactics and hatred from the left, as well as the right. She said she wanted to change course.
That having failed to garner her anything remotely close to her halcyon days of beach chair protest in Crawford, Texas; she is now resorting to threats.
Sheehan, who has never held political office, recently said that she was leaving the Democratic Party because it “caved” in to the president. Last week, she announced her caravan to Washington, an undertaking she calls the “people’s accountability movement.”
“I didn’t expect to be back so soon [Mark: Bull!], but the focus is different than it was before,” Sheehan said Sunday. “Instead of talking and making accusations, we’re going into communities and talking to the people who’ve been hurt by the Bush regime. We’re finding out how we can help people.”
Well that just sucks for ol’ Nancy. She is screwed either way. If she tries to impeach bush, she will be branded a liar and create non-stop campaign ads against the Democrats. If she doesn’t then she gets to fend off the rabid anti-war nuts attacking her day and night.
I love it. Talk about ‘making your bed!’
