"Hell has no Wrath like a Woman Scorned." Initially, grief over the death of her son in the Iraq War drove her to action. Sheehan’s wrath was clearly pointed at the republicans and the President, who at the time controlled Congress. The liberal press and the democrats picked up Sheehan’s vitriol and used her as a political pawn. While she was out raising hell, the democrats took control of the Congress. Now, despite their partisan promises, our new democrat-controlled Congress has refunded the War in Iraq and Sheehan is outraged. So, she understandability turned on her base supporters and surprise, surprise she is now “retiring” from protesting the war.
Sheehan learned a valuable lesson: neither party can deliver results. Politicians on both side of the isle will say and do anything to achieve their political goals: to garner money, fame and power. I just hope that Sheehan can repair her family relationships, so she is not along in her exile.
