Speaking of Cindy Sheehan... Jumping the Shark in a Big Way By Mark Noonan at 03:04 PM Can you get any more "media driven personality" than this? (From NRO's The Corner) She's averaging just two days per month here [her apartment in the Berkeley Hills]. The next morning she will fly off again, the surreal star of what is -- depending largely on one's political perspective -- either an epic tragedy or a farce. After stops for protests in New Orleans and Washington, D.C., she will breakfast in Manhattan with actress Susan Sarandon, who is set to portray her in a biopic movie. A crew will film Sheehan for a weekly reality series on the Sundance Channel. Her letters to President Bush inspired "Peace Mom," a one-woman monologue show in London. A memoir is due to her publisher April 1. Its all for the good, of course - the more Sheehan, the better the GOP chances in November. But, come on!, does anyone still want to say that she's a "grieving mother"? For crying out loud, she's become a prop - a two dimensional figure to be trotted out whenever a lefty wants to do something in the line of anti-liberation activities. She's got Sarandon portraying her for a movie! Think about that - she's about to be portrayed in a movie while she's still actively engaged in the events the movie will portray...I guess Hollywood figures that Sheehan doesn't do her "Sheehan" well enough and so a professional faker is needed.... Here's the challenge: do you think the left can get any more absurd than this? www.blogsforbush.com
