Whither Cindy Sheehan?
Oh yeah. What's going on with Cindy S.? Katrina has clearly stripped Cindy and Flounder from the front pages. So what of their long-term objectives? Victor Davis Hanson does a nice job of illustrating the supercilious nature of America's newest diva:
But beside the natural tragedy of Katrina, the panic of rising gas prices, and other assorted August calamities such as the stampede that cost hundreds of lives in Iraq, there were also other depressing events over the course of the month. In Crawford, Texas, there grew what many would call a Star Wars bar of sorts, as almost every strange character in our cultural galaxy flocked to the corner table of Cindy Sheehan. Not since the California recall election have we seen such a cast. When Ms. Sheehan slurred Israel, David Duke sent his praise, while assorted white supremacists and neo-Nazis showed up to express their solidarity. When it was known that she called the president the “world’s biggest terrorist,” everyone from Martin Sheen and Viggo Mortensen to Al Sharpton popped in. It is a strange world when Code Pink and Aragorn are in the same chorus of adulation as the National Vanguard.
