Anti-War-Mom turned shill-of-the-left, Cindy Sheehan is leaving the so-called peace movement.
She says that the movement betrayed her as well as ruined her health, marriage and finances.
I wish her well.
I can't even begin to comprehend what it's like to walk in Ms. Sheehan's shoes for a day knowing her son was killed in a war, let alone a war that most evidence concedes is a sham or mistake. So I was always willing to give her a pass that I might not grant to others.
The salt in the wound for Sheehan, though, is how she was so thoroughly exploited by people who really had no interest in her or what she seems to have been after. It's a real shame how folks just zoned in on her like vultures.
Democrats running for office in '06 had no problem being associated with her cause but when it came time to belly up last week, they were no more interested in making the hard decision than I was in passing up another fudge brownie this weekend.
Associating with pimps like Jesse Jackson should have been a dead giveaway.
