Back By Her Own Demand
You know it's the dog days of summer when Cindy Sheehan heads back to Crawford, TX for another edition of Camp Casey. (No, she hasn't gotten a real job yet.) Apparently she waved her California driver's license and said she wanted to meet with President Bush. "It doesn't say my new address, but I do live here now. My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son." (For those of you behind on your Cindy news, she now owns property in Crawford. Watch for the property values to decline sharply.)
White House press secretary Tony Snow had a great comment about the situation:
"I would advise her to bring water, Gatorade or both," Snow said when asked about Sheehan during a press briefing Friday. "Honestly, when you're talking about the kind of issues that we're talking about, Cindy Sheehan hasn't risen to the level of staff meetings at this point."
I love that man.
For those of you interested in heading down to Camp Casey to bask in the limelight with Mother Sheehan, be aware: Camp Casey has a code of etiquette to be followed. Here are the rules (all typos original, my comments in bold):
1. We will be asking for donations for Meals. Freeloaders strictly prohibited (except for Cindy).
2. We have listed 11pm as quiet time on the Calendar. Light sleepers be forewarned though. Due to the rural nature of Camp Casey many campers snore due to allergies. Our volunteer staff as a rule only gets to relax and enjoy themselves after hours so please repect their right to fun. We suggest you either bring ear plugs or sleep in a hotel or at the Campground at Tonkawa Falls. Be prepared for a bunch of whoopin' and hollerin' in the middle of the night, when most civilized folks are sleeping.
3. When counter protestors come to Camp Casey we encourage you to please do not engage them. We are a peace movement and they are entitled to their opinion as much as we are. If the counter protestors get out of line we will call the local authorities. The only ones who should be getting arrested are Cindy and her inner circle. No one else should merit media attention.
4. Everyone attending Camp Casey is encouraged to pitch in and help. Only those volunterring time will be granted time during open mike sessions. Volunteerism is a cornerstone of Camp Caseys success. And what better way to succeed in life than by harassing the president?
5. Please stop at the Crawford Peace House to check in before heading tp Camp Casey.
6. Absolutely no alcohol or drugs are permitted at Camp Casey or the Crawford Peace House. Of course, what you do on your own time is your own business.
See? It's not all fun and games. Protesting is serious business.
I'm surprised Ned Lamont hasn't made a last-minute appearance before tomorrow's Democrat primary in Connecticut.
UPDATE: My pal Aaron from Lifelike Pundits sent this link to the Cindy Sheehan theme song used by Laura Ingraham.

So, after 11pm is quiet time.
I have a legendary snore. If I had no job (or house, mortgage, wife, kids...) I could go there as a mute to disturb their sleep.

Has anyone checked to see if any of Cindy's camping friends might be trampling any endangered plants or bothering any endangered animals?
