Thanks for the memories, Cindy...

The Daily Kos reported the sad news yesterday that comic legend Cindy Sheehan is retiring as the face of the anti-war movement. Some of my favorite moments:

• President Bush flies the entire Sheehan family to Washington state in order to express his condolences for the death of Casey Sheehan in person. She tells the Vacaville Reporter, "I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis...I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."

• Her camping trip to a ditch outside Bush's Crawford ranch to demand a meeting that she'd already had once.
  
• When Bush sends in the National Guard to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, Cindy calls for Bush to "pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans."
• And who could forget her passionate smooch with dissent-crushing Hugo Chavez? (Yeah, that's her.)

Anyway, Cindy, you started an anti-war movement fore the sole purpose of shoving your face in the lime light, while driving away your family and spitting upon everything your son fought for at the same time--in his name no less. Maybe it's not such a bad idea to go home, relax a bit, and put your damned head on straight. As many problems as this nation might have (and they are plenty), the problem here is not America failing to "figure it out." It's you.

Good riddance.
