Cindy Sheehan of Gold Star Families for Peace is hoping to embarass President George W Bush by camping outside of his ranch until he either recalls all troops from Iraq (where her son, volunteering to go on a rescue mission, lost his life) or sends the twins to the battlefield.
Her supporters on the hard left are said to be streaming to Texas to turn this into a massive rally that will spell the end of this presidency.
Well, something is streaming, mostly water:
Don't know where else to put this so I just want everyone to know I just got an email from the Crawford peace house and the camp has flooded and the supplies are soaked, Cindy has been moved, she is sick with a sore throat and running a fever. Anyone who can help salvage the camp please go right away, they need all the help they can get. [corrected spacing and punctuation]
So where are the 200,000 protesters going to protest? Well, the 199,999 protesters:
I filled my boss in when I asked for PTO again today to head to Texas. He asked me what for, I said to support Cindy Sheehan the mom who wants questions answered from Bush.He kinda went "WTF?" into his face and said where do you get this stuff? Then he did a search and is all on the know now, still won't give me PTO :( [icons replaced by text]
These are not news quotes, but posts at the Democratic Underground discussion board.
Well, if this doesn't go off as intended, at least they have excuses:
Of course, 200,000 people might show up Friday and the President might be impeached over the weekend. Boy, would I feel silly if that happened.
