Let's hope the clock is at 14 minutes and counting.

When Cindy Sheehan first started making headlines due to her son's death in Iraq, I cut her some slack. She was a grieving mother exercising her right to speak out against a war she didn't believe in. But now that she is openly talking about a run for Senate, (h/t: Road Hammer) and is a delegate at the World Social Forum, she has completely crossed the line from "mother of a dead soldier" to public personality (and I would argue that she actually crossed that line a long time ago). Therefore any and all criticism of her is 100% fair game. She is now using her son's death for her own gains, and she has grown to love the attention and spotlight it has afforded her. She is nothing but a broken record repeating the same weak talking points ad nauseam, and staging protests outside Bush's ranch. Her posing for pictures with Venezuelan strongman (or if you prefer "President") Hugo Chavez, and his endorsement of her is utterly hilarious. I personally hope she does run for Senate, only so I can see her get her ass handed to her. No doubt Michael Moore is at the ready to make a documentary about her campaign.
