AP Plays Publicist For Cindy Sheehan

RiehlWorldView catches them printing claims that Sheehan's publisher, Annie Kotler, thought of contacting her for a book because she saw her in the news and liked her blog entries.

The true story is that Sheehan and Kotler were put in touch by a mutual anti-war lefty friend, Jodie Evans, co-founder of CodePink.

So, why spin for Sheehan as if she were a Hollywood star?

Oh, right. In AP's eyes, she is.

I hear the new book is going to be a Self-Help book on the Five Stages of Moonbat Grief:

Denial: Lying about what the president said when you met with him.

Publicity: Hiring a left-wing publicist to gain maximum media exposure to your grieving process.

Dishonoring: Claiming your loved one died “to spread the cancer of American Imperialism” and calling those who killed him, “freedom fighters.”

Delusion: Claiming that “the universe chose me to be the spark that has set off a raging inferno.”

Acceptance: Signing the back of the advance check on your book deal.

What's up with the comments over on the linked thread at Riehl World View? Some kind of inside joke? Weird.

Looks like they're sleuthing up the Natalee Holloway story.

Camp Casey Redux
Thanksgiving Week

It's reunion time here in the ditches of Crawford.

When I began this mission, it was just me and my grief trying to hold the leader of the free world to account for his crimes against my family and the world. So you can imagine my surprise when my publicist said the anti-war movement was rallying to my cause and supporting me. The words of sweet affirmation on the Daily Kos (oh, I love him) and the Democratic Underground (what a great bunch of kids) have been like angels sitting on my shoulders and whispering into my ear.

The diversity of the groups that gathered at Camp Casey this summer, from Code Pink to the Crawford Peace House, was amazing. I know some people were amazed at the ability of people with such varying viewpoints to come together, but those doubters just don't understand the power of love, or the fire that is righteous fury.

We've tried to bring the spirit of the summer back together this week as the evil murderous regime leader Bush is back in town to celebrate 'thanksgiving.' What does he have to be so thankful for? Thanks in large part to my crusade (yes, I know that word annoys our friends at CAIR, but it's so descriptive) the Bush regime is on the ropes and the neocons are reeling from all the fury coming from good Americans.

We had some scary times this summer trying to make it through occupied Lousiana and Mississppi, and I was arrested and dragged into the back of a police cruiser outside of the White House, but it will all be worth it to think that somewhere, somehow, my sacrifice is known to the victims of this evil man and his anti-civilization agenda.

So as the president and his cabal tear apart an innocent bird and sit in luxury, I'll be here in the ditch outside his house, waiting for a meeting and bringing the eyes of the world upon his horrible sins.

I do this to bring attention to the millions of Iraqi dead and to shine a light on the neocon zionist conspiracy that threatens our ability to dissent and speak our mind and live in peace

Oh, and I do it for Casey. Can't forget him.

I wonder if Bush can get his hands on that plastic turkey he had in Baghdad?

that'd be a nice gesture, presenting it to the Sheehan crowd.

through a lackey, of course.

Breaking News! Breaking News!

I interrupt this thread to bring you breaking news from MSNBC:

Plane Lands Safely at Airport

Wow! Really. No shit.
A plane landed safely at an airport.


Posted by: Bart on November 21, 2005 03:23 PM

Maybe the plane was supposed to blow up?

THAT would make it news...

Posted by: Purple Avenger on November 21, 2005 05:41 PM

They were hoping it would blow up to justify subjecting their viewers to two mind-numbing hours of a jet circling an airport.

Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit.
Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?)
I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon's true face. Yes! Hidden beneath its rich exterior is a hideously moist cherry cordial! What deranged architect could have engineered this non-Euclidean aberration? I dare not speculate.

Caramel Chew
There is a dimension ruled by a blind caramel God-King who sits on a vast, cyclopean milk-chocolate throne while his mindless, gooey followers dance to the piping of crazed flutes. It is said that there are gateways in our world that lead to this caramel hell-planet. The delectable Caramel Chew may be one such portal.
