Her Fifteen Minutes Are Sooooo Up

What if they gave a peace rally, and no one came?

Momma Moonbat couldn't agitate up a crowd at her "book" signing.

The pictures of Mother "Sadsack" Sheehan are priceless. Also note the Reuters spin.

[Update a few minutes later]

Here's the story from the WaPo. To their credit, they don't sugar coat it.

Admittedly, it's a lot easier to draw a crowd in August, when the media (and a lot of students) have nothing better to do, than on Thanksgiving weekend. But in the face of the latest vigorous defense of the administration, and the resulting polls, her time has definitely passed, and the media will no longer even attempt to prop her up. Well, other than Reuters...

[Update on Monday morning]

Here's another pic from AP, with story that is less than genuous:

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan waits for people to show up at her book signing near President Bush's ranch on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2005 in Crawford, Texas.

Note that the wording allows (even encourages) the interpretation that she's just a little early--that the adoring throngs are simply delayed, and on their way. Of course, it also allows the interpretation that she will be waiting forever, but I think that there would have been clearer ways to state that, if it was intended to be the (accurate) implication...

The DNC and far left saw a momentary negative trend, and they pulled the troops out of Crawford.

Amazing how the masses spit on Sheehan despite the fact that her child had been blown away in Iraq. Such gratitude. I sure as hell would not want my child to die fighting for this piece of sh!t country.
