Mother Sheehan Concedes Defeat

Right over the Memorial Day holiday (of course), Cindy "Mother" Sheehan has called it quits, signaling an end to her protracted, infantile, Marxist, anti-U.S. temper tantrum. A poster-child for the recidivist Boomer left, Cindy wails that her asinine, anti-Bush crusade (for that's really what it was) has cost her her hubby and kids. Which is what tends to happen when a family member turns incorrigible and hateful, Clueless Cindy, or didn't you know?

Here's Mother Sheehan's valedictory, posted, of course, on the leftwing hate site "Daily Kos" and weirdly titled (by Sheehan or Kos?), "Good Riddance Attention Whore":

This is my resignation letter as the "face" of the American anti-war movement. This is not my "Checkers" moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources.

Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.

"Resignation letter"? Resignation from what? Who appointed her in the first place? Is this enough smarminess to gag on or what?

Whether this little coda got some editorial help or not, it's the best evidence yet of the megalomania of the American left as personified by yet another deranged but self-righteous Boomer idiot. The "good old US of A" is only worthy if it measures up, 100%, to Cindy's Marxist "standards." The hell with you or me and our standards. It's only the "standards" of the left, specifically Cindy Sheehan's in this case, that matter, not ours. Guess we should hang our heads, huh? This is perhaps the best example yet of the infantilism that characterizes the American left. Screw the U.S. It's all about me, ME!!

Oh, well, there's a silver lining hidden in all this thunderation:

Camp Casey [the 5 acres adjacent to the Bush ranch that Cindy bought to stage anti-Bush demonstrations during the president's holidays] has served its purpose. It’s for sale. Anyone want to buy five beautiful acres in Crawford , Texas ? I will consider any reasonable offer. I hear George Bush will be moving out soon, too...which makes the property even more valuable.

Bush moving out? More than likely, he'll stay. A former president has to live somewhere. But who are we to dispute the transcendental wisdom of Mother Sheehan? She says so. Therefore, it must be the truth.

Hint to real estate investors: Lowball her. Better yet, wait her out and let the acreage go into foreclosure. It's what this imposter deserves for dumping chamber pots on our country and our military all in the name of her heroic son who would have been infuriated by these antics. As was the rest of Cindy's estranged family, with whom she will allegedly try to make amends—on her own terms, of course:

I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children and try to regain some of what I have lost. I will try to maintain and nurture some very positive relationships that I have found in the journey that I was forced into when Casey died and try to repair some of the ones that have fallen apart since I began this single-minded crusade to try and change a paradigm that is now, I am afraid, carved in immovable, unbendable and rigidly mendacious marble.

Sure. Cindy Sheehan went out on a crusade to get face time on TV, deliver endless fusillades of Marxist, anti-U.S. propaganda, and disgrace her family in the process. And now she, herself, is claiming victimhood, the final refuge of a leftist scoundrel. It's our fault for her stupidity. No hugging, no learning.

I'm sure all the Sheehan family members are just willing to let bygones be bygones, even if the family name and honor have been dragged through the mud for the past two years. And of course, unquestionably, now that Cindy has declared that her plight is our fault, these family members should bail the unemployed Sheehan out of all the debt she racked up enjoying a good bit more than her ill-gotten 15 minutes of fame. (More here.)

The only people more disgraceful than Sheehan during all of this were the drive-by media who milked this extended tantrum for all the anti-Bush footage they could pack. She'll be lucky if anyone named Sheehan even opens the door when she knocks looking for a handout. (Maybe she should hit up her exploiters, Kos and his wealthy Marxist patron George Soros, who both left her high and dry after she'd worn out her usefulness.)

So now, exit Cindy Sheehan, stage left. Believe it or not, we actually don't take a lot of pleasure in this. We fear that there are more than enough lefty Boomer narcissists to step in now and take Cindy's place. The next one will pop up sooner rather than later. And the MSM will be ready anytime, anywhere, as long as the next lefty egomaniac can generate more anti -Bush, anti-military, anti U.S. propaganda in time for the evening news that no one ever watches anymore.

Say good night, Cindy.
