Vanity Fair spread celebrates anti-war activist as 'Best Stand' of 2005

Although a Thanksgiving protest at President Bush's ranch drew little attention, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan continues her media campaign in the January issue of Vanity Fair magazine with a two-page photo spread of her apparently asleep on the grassy grave of her son Casey, who was killed in battle in Iraq. In the magazine's 2005 Best of the Best year-end review – "Heroes! Winners! Guilty Pleasures!" – Sheehan is selected as "Best Stand."

The photo, noted by Byron York in National Review's The Corner, shows her at the Vacaville-Elimira Cemetery in Vacaville, Calif. In a post to the weblog, National Review columnist Jonah Goldberg said it "may be the most shameless, exploitative stunt of the decade."

Sheehan has been on an anti-war and anti-Bush campaign since the summer months when her vigil in Crawford gained worldwide media attention. Earlier this month, the Associated Press defended itself from allegations by Sheehan that it misrepresented her book-signing near Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch by showing a virtually empty tent.

Casey Sheehan was killed April 4 at age 24 when his unit from Fort Hood, Texas, was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire in Baghdad. He had been in Iraq only two weeks.

1. Jonah Goldberg is a fascist nut.

His mother was the wire tap on Monica. She pimped her big time. Tripp and Jonah's mother were big time exploiters and pimps. They cashed out big time.

Too bad Jonah doesn't have the guts to declare his independence.

A matter of curiosity: Does Jonah have a father? Ms. Lucianne is certainly quiet on the matter.

3. Who is Jonah's father?

Out of curiosity.

very stupid but very smart too.
Byron York asleep in cementary where Brave Americans soldiers buried.

Sadly most Americans are asleep. Good picture Good message.

It is not Cindy who is asleep but people like Byron who is and refuse to see it by calling that photograph shameless, exploitive stunt.

Cause when has Cindy been asleep on this issue. Ok who is the sneaky creative guy behind this photgraph. You deserve GOLD for the message. :rofl:

5. Poor World Nut Daily

The notable thing about Cindy Sheehan wasn't so much Cindy or her poor dead son...it was that pResident Turd, whose big selling point was "guts" and "courage," was publicly terrified of a polite middle aged lady (and remember, she was pretty much all by herself the first week or so)...and actually hid from her, then ran away.

It was a moment very comparable to the fictional one at the end of Dead Zone...when Martin Sheen's blustery tough guy candidate, snatches up a toddler to shield himself.
