Cindy Sheehan strikes again

Now offering dramatic (but still clueless) counterpoint to the people who say the President moved in too late, Cindy is screeching about how he shouldn't have come in at all.

Let's take a close look at her latest tirade.

"I don't care if a human being is black, brown, white, yellow or pink. I don't care if a human being is Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, or pagan. I don't care what flag a person salutes¹: if a human being is hungry, then it is up to another human being to feed him/her². George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes^{3, 4} of his all around failed administration⁵, pull our troops out⁶ of occupied New Orleans⁷ and Iraq, and excuse his self from power. The only way America will become more secure⁸ is if we have a new administration that cares about Americans even if they don't fall into the top two percent of the wealthiest⁹."

Point by point:
¹ Okay, okay, we get it. You don't care.
² The hungry person bears no responsibility whatsoever for feeding themselves, even if they may be capable of doing so.
³ So you're saying he should stop talking and admit his mistakes? Like, at the same time? "Don't eat with your mouth full!"
⁴ Apparently, Cindy was too busy crafting this finely worded statement to hear the President's address where he said he bears the responsibility for the failures at the federal level.
⁵ Ironic that the same people who accuse him of failing also accuse him of maliciously doing so much damage. If you say President Bush wants to hurt the country, and that he is hurting the country, then isn't he succeeding at what he is trying to do?
⁶ ...thereby causing two catastrophes big enough to finally drum him out of office (you hope). Unfortunately for Cindy, the state of Louisiana, not the federal government, controls the National Guard. Guard troops from other states have been called in, not sent in.
⁷ "occupied New Orleans"? Well, maybe, if you are of the opinion that the Governor and Mayor were running totalitarian regimes which needed overthrowing (I'm more inclined to believe this, anymore) If I was more cynical, I might compare Saddam's abuse of his people with the Mayors abuse of the citizens of New Orleans. Aren't you glad I'm not more cynical?
⁸ That's right, folks! There's only one way to improve security, and Cindy is here to tell us about it. It also doesn't involve foreign policy or border patrols or equipment at airports.
⁹ The big revelation! Yes, the war on Iraq is nothing but a thinly-veiled tax break for the rich! How silly of me not to see it!

Hey, Cindy! Right now as I type this, I'm hungry. (I had a banana for breakfast and no lunch.) I'm also not in the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Could you please direct me to the person or persons who are responsible for feeding me?

The most nauseating thing about the whole statement is that it comes on the heels of the announcement Cindy has penned a lucrative contract with Speaker's Bureau. She's not only spouting nonsense, now she's also getting paid for it. Of course, one might rightly wonder how she could afford to camp out 1200 miles from home at the President's ranch, and now to lead a bus tour across America without some outside funding.

With any luck, she'll spend some of that money on a grammar tutor.
