CINDY SHEEHAN SAYS GOODBYE:

However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the “left” started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used. I guess no one paid attention to me when I said that the issue of peace and people dying for no reason is not a matter of “right or left”, but “right and wrong.”

Yes, when her utility as a Bush-bashing tool evaporated, the media weren’t interested. Not even most of the alt-media. More here.

And Don Surber is amused.

UPDATE: They’re trying to replace her, but Mickey Kaus observes: “I’m willing to believe U.S. soldiers in Iraq are disillusioned, but ‘more than a dozen’ does not seem like a large number.”

I don’t know why any troops would be disillusioned, when they’re getting so much support from American media and the Democrats in Congress.

ANOTHER UPDATE: More on Cindy Sheehan and the media here.
