If Only Chimpie Would Read

Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, California, lost her firstborn son in Iraq and is not about to be reticent in her feelings for the people who sent him there. In Kentucky she addressed an interfaith group:

Sheehan ridiculed Bush for saying that it's "hard work" comforting the widow of a soldier who's been killed in Iraq.

"Hard work is seeing your son's murder on CNN one Sunday evening while you're enjoying the last supper you'll ever truly enjoy again. Hard work is having three military officers come to your house a few hours later to confirm the aforementioned murder of your son, your first-born, your kind and gentle sweet baby. Hard work is burying your child 46 days before his 25th birthday. Hard work is holding your other three children as they lower the body of their big (brother) into the ground. Hard work is not jumping in the grave with him and having the earth cover you both," she said.

Now think about Bush, the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, the crotch-enhancing flight suit, and the "Mission Accomplished" banner behind him. Think about the 1300+ Americans killed since then in an illegal war and the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis senselessly slaughtered, each one mourned by a mother, a brother, a daughter, a grandfather.

Ms. Sheehan closed with this:

"We're watching you very carefully and we're going to do everything in our power to have you impeached for misleading the American people," she said, quoting a letter she sent to the White House. "Beating a political stake in your black heart will be the fulfillment of my life ... ," she said, as the audience of 200 people cheered.

And we'll be there to help you swing the hammer, Ms. Sheehan. God bless you and keep you after your terrible loss.
