"Beating a political stake in your black heart will be the fulfillment"
Sheehan ridiculed Bush for saying that it's "hard work" comforting the widow of a soldier who's been killed in Iraq.

"Hard work is seeing your son's murder on CNN one Sunday evening while you're enjoying the last supper you'll ever truly enjoy again. Hard work is having three military officers come to your house a few hours later to confirm the aforementioned murder of your son, your first-born, your kind and gentle sweet baby. Hard work is burying your child 46 days before his 25th birthday. Hard work is holding your other three children as they lower the body of their big (brother) into the ground. Hard work is not jumping in the grave with him and having the earth cover you both," she said.

Since her son's death, Sheehan has made opposition to the Bush administration a full-time job.

"We're watching you very carefully and we're going to do everything in our power to have you impeached for misleading the American people," she said, quoting a letter she sent to the White House. "Beating a political stake in your black heart will be the fulfillment of my life ... ," she said, as the audience of 200 people cheered.

1. Yeah, loved that quote.
Reminded me of the "whistleass Bush" bit in that obituary a while back.

5. And I would like to add, as I always do, that in addition to the pain
Bush has caused the parents of our 1700 soldiers, he has caused that pain in hundreds of thousands of families in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well.

They invented the Hague for monsters like Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfield, and Powell.

6. Too bad that quote won't all fit on a bumper sticker.
Think Bush has pissed off enough people yet? There may be no more dangerous place in the country than between a Gold Star mother and her son's grave.

My heart goes out to her and all the others who have suffered at the hands of these war-mongering cretins. I've heard or read that quote about a billion times since this morning and I still can't stop tearing up.

8. Very sad. Very powerful. If the evil one gets impeached
it'll be because of voices like this. Liberal villains can be ignored. But from this grief and wrath, there is no place to hide.

11. Since when has Bush comforted any widows?
He has yet to attend any military funerals, or anything else relating to the deaths of any soldiers in his war.
