An
article in The Hill highlights Cindy "The Banshee" Sheehan's sheer arrogance, and ignorance.
Discussing
President Bush and Vice President Cheney, Sheehan said, “We put them
there. We can fire them. If Nancy Pelosi doesn't do her
constitutionally mandated job by midnight tonight, tomorrow I will
announce that I'm going to run against her.“And not only am I going to
run against her, but I will beat her,” Sheehan added.
Sure
you will Cindy. The democrats used you and threw you out with the
trash when you no longer served their purpose. I have a sneaking
suspicion your son Casey would be embarrassed to see what you've become
since his death. Sure, you still have a few people cheering you on,
but you've become a punch line to the rest of the country.
Sheehan argued that it is Pelosi’s constitutional obligation to impeach the president.
No,
Cindy. The U.S. Constitution has a provision for impeachment and rules
for its application. Nowhere is there any clause that says the Speaker
of the House is obliged to begin impeachment proceedings because some
gadfly nut case like you wants her to do so.
“The
administration has abused our soldiers. They've abused our freedoms,”
Sheehan said. “They have killed my son and countless others. And they
must be held accountable.
Again,
Cindy--no. He was killed doing a job that, by all accounts he loved.
It happens to firefighters and cops as well. Though tragic, it's an
occupational hazard. Unless Casey died from friendly fire, which I
don't believe was the case, you're making a heck of a stretch in logic
there, my girl.
“Impeachment is not a fringe movement.
It is mandated in our Constitution. Nancy Pelosi had no authority to
take it off the table,” Sheehan said.
Cindy,
Cindy, Cindy. It is nowhere mandated that anyone be impeached.
Especially not because you want to abuse that provision to persecute
someone you wrongfully blame for your son's death.
You're not
going to beat Pelosi in any election. She made a promise that during
her watch, impeachment wouldn't happen. Even she realizes it would be
an abuse of the system to do so. So far, she has kept that promise.
The
chances of your being elected because of a personal tragedy are slim.
It happened to Carolyn McCarthy after her husband and son were killed
on the LIRR by Colin Ferguson, but it's rare. And what real power does
she have in congress, anyway? What makes you think you can barge in
and take Capitol Hill by storm. There's a term for it: delusional.
