Is it really hard for you to believe that a grieving Mother that watched her son go off to fight in an injust war full of lies and misleading, might want the President to be held accountable? Michael Moore wants the limelight. Sheehan's son is Dead. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He went over there on his own accord. Sheehan's son made his own choice. She could respect that and not, well, sort of trample all over his grave trying to make a scene. I don't think he'd want that. I can understand a grieving mother and not believing a war. But trying to act like Bush just sent him unwilling to die is a misnomer. Using her son, who willingly went over there, is wrong. If I went over there and my mom tried to prop my death up as an anti-Bush rallying point, I sure wouldn't like it. Perhaps if her son didn't want to go over there, maybe she'd have something. But this seems more like something that her son (And it seems more and more like the rest of the family) firmly disagree with, I think that it's improper. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Umm no actually her son was against the war, but he told her that he couldn't break the oath he took. However he was against the idea behind this war. That is why the family had a falling out when Sheehan and her son pleaded with them not to vote for Bush in hopes that the war would end quicker. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is this info from another interview that she did? Seems like really personal/private info, just wondering how you came across it.

Pink slip on a pole match. Hilarious.

Aye, I read that on CNN.com. Perhaps turning their son's death into a circus side-show was not a great move for the marriage.

Pathetic.

It's good that she's using her son's death for a movement. I'm sure he'd be proud. Given that after he volunatrily enlisted, he re-enlisted knowing that he'd be going to Iraq. In her own words, another meeting would hurt the movement. She said they've thought about that- then why wouldn't they have another meeting to shut her up? Seems to me like he's doing her a favor by letting her have her five minutes. Am I the only one whose local news shows pictures and basically reads obits about local soldiers who died? Seems like a pretty apparent human face put on those losses. You know- people compare Iraq to Vietnam, so you throw out the numbers and you see the degree of casualties is way off. So then people claim that there's no human face on the losses? I don't get it. According to her, he's doing her a favor by staying on his pre-planned vacation. Except that many mothers understand that their children chose to enlist. Those soldiers that fully understood the committment don't blame the President. Those that were in it to get college paid for should have read the writing on the wall. It's not like each and every ARMY ad doesn't have tanks, fatigues, etc. Interesting note: I am not in favor of the war in Iraq- I supported action in Afghanistan, and support democracy in Iraq, however I do not believe the two were connected and should have been handled in the same manner. However, I cannot stand people using the deaths of soldiers to get media attention, to promote political agendas or to take shots at the President. It is dishonorable to those who have died, and it disgusts me.

And you know this..... how? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Besides hearing her say it herself on two seperate radio shows? If I can find a transcript I will post it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ....

Let's not forget where this post originated from. Gimmicks suck.

What, is X pimpin' his ride?

An Anti-Bush person is taking advantage of the death of soldiers to further their own political agenda?! I don't believe it.

They needed Gonchar to sign.

And you know this..... how?

Thank God Thornton signed.

I think this could also be a good spring board for the OAO drunken pranks thread.

Spider-Man 2 I really didn't think they could do such a good job with it, and I thought I would be pissed at MJ/Peter being together, but it turned out to be really amazing.

Package them w/ Bronson Arroyo and Marc Blount for a pepperoni pizza and a Coke, and I will consider it a fair deal.

I've never heard of Birchill before this thread, but I just watched those Monster Moments, and I am impressed. Maybe if he's not a typical WWE hoss in size, they will let him retain at least some of that stuff? We can hope?

The best way I've heard for Eugene to be turned heel is if he takes a sick head bump which "cures" his retardation.

Elisabeth is the only one that's mildly entertaining.

This thread really is the gift that keeps on giving.

See, the way I read it, the padlock was inbetween his balls and the top of his scrotum. Like, pushed the balls to the bottom of the sack, put the padlock around the skin at the top.

Edgah comes up big in the 10th, Sox win.

You'll see Brady taking on a bigger role in the play-calling as well.

Matt after Edge doesn't exist.

Let's also not forget that Richard Seymour is healthy again.
