Minute 28
- The right-wingers who think nothing but the worst of Cindy Sheehan probably won't change their minds after reading Peace Mom. In the book, which hits bookstores September 19, the antiwar icon admits she has fantasized about going back in time and killing the infant George W. Bush, thereby preventing the Iraq War. In fact, she reveals, her son's death in that war almost drove her to take her own life: "Every night I had to restrain myself from taking my entire bottle of sleeping pills instead of just one."
Living in trees, and now Terminator style retro-active infanticide/assassination and suicide.
She's the voice we need guiding our foreign policy.

Didn't I see this story line in an old Quantum Leap episode?
Oh wait, Sam was a rational, good guy...
I used to give Ms. Sheehan a wide berth in my blog, but every time I think she's hit rock bottom, she's reaches new lows.
Posted by: Charlie on the PA Tpk at September 7, 2006 11:16 PMDon’t recall Quantum Leap, but in Stephen Fry's "Making History," a young physics student gets a small window to push inanimate objects back in time. He puts birth control in Hitler's mom's well to prevent his birth. It doesn’t really turn out as well as he planned…
You're the second person with a Charles-derived sobriquet to give me the wise counsel to ignore Ms. Sheehan. Yet, if she is going to write books and continue holding the stage, I feel we can disagree politely.
I love the juxtaposition of "Peace Mom" (how can you guys dislike "Peace Mom?") and the desire to kill the President. It is also telling that she would use this machine to kill the President and not Saddam Hussein. Telling choice.
