How stupid can you be, arresting Cindy Sheehan ... ?
Lovely rant.

---

Nothing can ignite our determination to rid our country of you and your band of criminals than seeing a mother, who opposed your illegal war before her son died in it and who wants all the killing stopped, arrested for not having a permit to sit down in front of the house—the White House—that belongs to the people along with all the other government buildings and public spaces in Washington, DC.

You're nothing but a miserable, drunken weasel who couldn't take five minutes out of your five-week vacation, which we the people paid for, to meet face-to-face with Cindy and answer her questions.

It's interesting that some writers have suggested that Dubya is hitting the bottle again because his conscience is bothering him about the evil things he is responsible for. To be sure, the list is long: stolen elections in 2000, 2002, 2004; 9/11; the illegal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; destroying the environment, the economy and what is left of the social safety net; giving his rich friends tax cuts at the expense of everyone else; tearing down the remaining wall between church and state; failing to provide the money needed to reinforce the levees around New Orleans; ignoring the plight of the poor and mainly African American victims of Hurricane Katrina for days while he played and raised money for Republicans, then when he finally responded it was with costly staged photo ops (think about the precious fuel burned up at your expense), as he had the victims of Katrina scattered to the four corners of the country; and, in the wake of Rita, flying hither and yon for more staged photo ops, while telling the people to conserve fuel; and on and on and on . . .

No, a stroke of conscience isn't what is causing George to drown himself in booze. It's self-pity. Like all criminal psychopaths—and this psychopath in the White House happens to be a serial killer and war criminal—he's afraid of getting caught. He knows the day of reckoning is coming and he is trying to relieve his anxiety with alcohol and pills.
