So Long Cindy...

The 15 minutes are over. Cindy Sheehan has packed up her little wooden crosses and is moving on, leaving behind this parting shot:

"I look back on it, and I am very, very, very grateful he did not meet with me, because we have sparked and galvanized the peace movement," she said. "If he'd met with me, then I would have gone home, and it would have ended there."

But then actually meeting with Bush was never her intention - publicity was. And she got it in spades.

Now I don't think for one minute that we have heard the last of her. She has pledged to continue on to Washington D.C. and continue her activism. But the context for her future rants can no longer be framed as a grieving mother desperately wishing to look into the eyes of the President for justification of her pain. Because as we all know now, that was just pretense.

No, Mrs. Sheehan will continue to be vocal and she'll continue to get camera time. But going forward she'll be marginalized as just another voice in a crowd of incoherent moonbats shouting "Bush Lied". She'll be in good company, though.
