 ANGRY
MOM TELLS TWO STORIES
(The following is excerpted from
today's Boortz site: http://boortz.com/nuze/index.html)
Yesterday I told you about the story of Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a brave
soldier who gave his life last year in the line of duty in Iraq. She has been
quite upset about this, and has turned into a peace activist. Fine.
So she decided that she would camp out at George Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas
this week. She has started a political movement and an organization, demanding
to speak with the president. She wants to know why George W. Bush "killed her
son." Never mind the fact that her son was killed by Islamic terrorists in Sadr
City.
But now that Mrs. Sheehan has put herself out there, people have begun doing a
little research. Enter the Drudge Report. (Say what you will, but he's usually
right. And first, too.) It seems not only has Mrs. Sheehan already met with
George Bush, but there are two stories about what took place. The story she's
currently telling, that she met with him and he was mean and indifferent to her,
directly contradicts the story she told after that meeting took place last year.
Just take a look at
what she told a
reporter then:
"'I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis. I know he's
sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith." She
also talked about how her life briefly returned to normal: "That was the gift
the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together."
Hmm...now let's flash-forward to the present day, where she's singing a
different tune:
"Every time we tried to talk about Casey and how much we missed him, he would
change the subject. And he acted like it was a party."
