Cindy Sheehan to Dianne Feinstein: Fillibuster Alito or IÂ’ll Challenge Your Senate Seat

Caracas, Venezuela - Gold star mother Cindy Sheehan has decided to run against California Senator Diane Feinstein if Feinstein does not filibuster the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Samuel Alito. While in Venezuela attending the World Social Forum, Sheehan learned that several Democratic Senators had announced their plans for a filibuster but that Senator Feinstein, who’s up for re-election in November, had stated she would vote against the nomination but not filibuster it. “I’m appalled that Diane Feinstein wouldn’t recognize how dangerous Alito’s nomination is to upholding the values of our constitution and restricting the usurpation of presidential powers, for which I’ve already paid the ultimate price,” Sheehan said.
Note the presse contact: Medea Benjamin is the founder of Code Pink and a radical, thuggist Communist from way back.

#6  Did Ms. Benjamin's parents saddle her with that appalling first name, or did she rename herself? Look up the story of Jason and the Argonauts in Hamilton's Mythology. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned--and Medea reacted to being scorned by killing her children.

#5  Classic left-wing Narcissism. Sheehan's son is killed in battle, and "...I've already paid the ultimate price."

#4  If Cindy runs I will send her money. Living in Califoirnia it would give me great pleasure to watch that catfight while a GOP candidate slides in for a victory.

#3  Whoa. Medea looks like a 10 years younger Cindy Sheehan. The future ain't pretty.

#2  Good call, FH6773 - Benjamin has quite the pedigree, doesn't she?

(BTW - that pic at the second link? "Hey, stop it! You have teeth like a beaver! You'll never work in this town again!")
