Fight Night in Frisco
"Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan decides to take on Nancy Pelosi.
CRAWFORD, Texas - Cindy Sheehan bid farewell to her former "peace camp" near President Bush's ranch and began a nearly two-week trek Tuesday toward Washington, D.C., with her sights set on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.A Sheehan campaign spokesman, identified only as "Otter," said the importance of this issue "absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part."Sheehan, a Californian, officially announced that she intends to run as an independent against Pelosi in 2008 if the San Francisco congresswoman doesn't move to impeach Bush by July 23, the day she expects to reach Washington.
"I know what Californians care about," Sheehan said. "They don't care about the ruling power elite."

I hope she does. It will provide a nice breath of humor and levity into what is promising to otherwise be a very contentious 2008 election.

Otter? That's a joke, right?
Whatever, futile and stupid is an understatement.

Yeah, it's a quote from "Animal House."

Considering Arnold, she has a point.
