Look at me! Look at me! Look at meeeeeee!!!!

Someone once said that the key to understanding Republican spokesmodel Ann Coulter was that she suffered from a form of Attention Deficit Disorder: she hates it when no one is paying attention to her. Sad to say, Living Saint Cindy Sheehan seems to have confirmed that she is a fellow afflictee.

You may recall her Memorial Day tantrum, when she first announced ahe was sick of the peace movement and retiring to her home, which escalated into an angry announcement that she was "leaving" the Democratic Party. (Which I think would be akin to me saying I've given up flying to Paris on the Concorde for lunch.) And of course that retirement was followed by making the rounds of liberal and disident radio shows, including Sheehan's revelation that, as a structural engineer, some of the events of 9/11 seemed fishy to her.

As it happened, Cindy's "retirement" lasted only a little longer than Paris Hilton's sojourn in the slammer. In the wake of Popo's personal amnesty for justice obstructor Scooty Libby, Sheehan announced her return to the political arena with an email that revealed (1) she was pissed and (2) she no longer believed in paragraph breaks.

That, however, was the teaser for her big "look at me!" moment, issuing a threat to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that unless impeachment is underway by the time Sheehan's traveling roadshow rolls into Washington on July 23, she would run as an independent against Pelosi in 2008. She amplified her feelings in a diary on Daily Kos:

Well, the cat got out of the bag early as they so often will do. I was going to announce on July 10th (my 50th birthday) before our Journey for Humanity that I would run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) if she didn’t put impeachment back on the table before our tour reached DC on July 23rd. Impeachment was never hers to take off the table as it is a Constitutional remedy for BushCo, not an optional smorgasbord choice. However, the story was leaked to the AP and we couldn’t keep the big announcement under wrap

Yeah, well Cindy, when you tell everyone at your big Cindy Sheehan Is Going Away Forever Festival about your plans, it's no surprise that word gets out, since people have cell phones and internets and stuff.

The feedback I have been receiving since then has been about three to one positive and supportive.

Of course, that was before people started commenting on the diary, back when she was talking mostly to people who've mistaken her for Gandhi, or maybe Chauncey the Gardener. But lest she leave anyone unsure where she stands...

The Democrats are the party of slavery and were the party that started every war in the 20th Century except the other Bush debacle. The Federal Reserve, permanent federal (and unconstitutional) income taxes, Japanese Concentration Camps and, not one, but two atom bombs dropped on the innocent citizens of Japan were brought to us via the Democrats.

That's right, Cindy, there's been no realignment in American political parties in the last century and a half. And who could ever forgive Woodrow Wilson for invading Belgium and sinking the Lusitania, Franklin Roosevelt for attacking Poland and bombing Pearl Harbor, or Harry Truman for sending his army south across the 38th Parallel? In fact, the Democrats are so damned evil I'm surprised she dadn't just switch to the GOP.

Of course, Cindy, if you think the income tax is unconstitutional, you might want to take a little break from the black helicopters crowd and read the 16th Amendment sometime. Just sayin'.

I know that some people will read this and accuse me of saying awful things about Cindy, "who has gone through so much." Well, lots of people go through a lot. That doesn't give them license to go batshit insane. And Sheehan needs therapy, not more applause. For your own good, Cindy, and the good of the cause of peace. chill out, get some help, and quit acting like a lunatic.

She just needs to STFU.

She did so much for the anti war movement, then went loonie.
