Cindy Sheehan

To expiate the pain of losing her firstborn son in the Iraq war, Cindy Sheehan decided to cheer herself up by engaging in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush's Crawford ranch until he meets with her. Almost as strange a method of grieving as was seen at Senator Wellstone's funeral.

Old-fashioned people think that a grief-stricken war mother shouldn't have her own full-time PR flack. After her third profile on "Entertainment Tonight," she's no longer a grieving mom; she's a C-list celebrity trolling for a book deal or a reality show.

Shedding light, Cindy Sheehan shows us what Democrats would say if they thought they were immunized from disagreement. Sheehan has called President Bush "that filth-spewer and warmonger." She says "America has been killing people on this continent since it was started" and "the killing has gone on unabated for over 200 years." She calls the U.S. government a "morally repugnant system" and says, "This country is not worth dying for." Every time this gal opens her trap, Michael Moore gets a residuals check.

Evidently, however, there are some things worth killing for. Cindy Sheehan said she only seemed calm "because if I started hitting something, I wouldn't stop 'til it was dead." It's a wonder Bush won't meet with her.

Sheehan's Syndrome

Sheehan’s syndrome: pituitary insufficiency (cf. Simmonds’ disease) caused by necrosis of the gland as a result of post-partum hæmorrhage and shock.

1950 R. F. Escamilla in S. Soskin Progr. Clinical Endocrinol. x. 529 Case II represents an instance of onset of the disease following a complicated delivery, and is therefore an example of the subclassification of Simmonds’ disease described by Sheehan, and called ‘Sheehan’s syndrome’ by some authors.

1973 Daily Colonist (Victoria, B.C.) 18 July 2/3 Since the pituitary controls other endocrine glands, Sheehan’s syndrome produces symptoms resulting from failure of other glands.
