“Cindy Sheehan is hoping that a less confrontational strategy will be more effective.
“Will President Bush, as a man of faith, join her and others on Friday at noon to pray for the troops? The president is reported to have nothing on his official schedule for this week.” — Crooks & Liars, with video, via Howie in Seattle
Update [2005-8-16 9:54:14 by susanhu]: At 1:00 pm ET Cindy Sheehan will hold a telephone press conference tomorrow from Crawford, TX, with other mothers whose sons were killed in Iraq. (ABC’s The Note)

In addition to the two-hour bike ride, Bush’s Saturday schedule included an evening Little League Baseball playoff game, a lunch meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a nap, some fishing and some reading.
“I think the people want the president to be in a position to make good, crisp decisions and to stay healthy,” he said when asked about bike riding while a grieving mom wanted to speak with him. “And part of my being is to be outside exercising.”
“So I’m mindful of what goes on around me,” Bush added. “On the other hand, I’m also mindful that I’ve got a life to live and will do so.”
But the real question is, will he invite the reporters to accompany him, as they did on the bike ride?
How can he say he has a “life to live and will do so” when so many others have lost their lives because of his actions? Arrogant…
I bet he’s fallen off his toilet, too.
The bastard is so willfully ignorant.
Cabin Girl I read your post about your loss, grief regarding the disappearance and death of your brother… it took the breath right out of my lungs… (((Cabin Girl))))
Oh gawd you’re laughing-out-loud funny.
Thanks, Damnit. (tee-hee)
(And I love the bit about falling off the toilet…)
Speaking of George, I understand that he was riding his bike yesterday out at the ranch. (I hope no London Bobbies got in his way). He took a 2 hour bike ride and when he got back, he was asked how he could go for a two hour bike ride when he doesn’t have time to meet with me, and he said: “I have to go on with my life.” (Austin Statesman, August 14) WHAT!!!!!????? He has to get on with his life!!! I am so offended by that statement. Every person, war fan, or not, who has had a child killed in this mistake of an occupation should be highly offended by that remark. Who does he think he is? I wish I could EVER be able to get on with my life. Getting on with my life means a life without my dear, sweet boy. Getting on with my life means learning to live with a pain that is so intense that sometimes I feel like throwing up, or screaming until I pass out from sorrow. I wish a little bike ride could help me get on with my life. I can’t believe that someone who is the figurehead of an administration that has killed tens of thousands of innocent people doesn’t spend his days hiding under his bed in shame, let alone riding his bike.
He so totally doesn’t get it. Makes me want to re-post the clinical description of a sociopath…
So anyone else seen this week’s Newsweek?
Huge smile (WTF)? Red eyes? What are these signs of? Oh yeah, drug abuse…
Wonder what God will tell George to do this time?
G-d told him to jump off a bridge… 🙂
I really hope that word spreads across this country that people of faith, like Cindy Sheehan, are morally opposed to this war. I read about her involvement with her parish as a Youth Minister; and Casey as an altar server and Eagle Scout and got chills. It could’ve been me…
The conscience of this country needed a major jolt and Cindy has helped to provide it. She is on a mission and I gladly join her for the sake of Peace, with a capital P.
Man, I dig Cindy Sheehan.
George W. Bush can’t attend a funeral for the troops, maybe he can fit in a prayer for them.
Fewer and fewer places for the chimp to hide and throw feces from.

no offense to apes, of course. 🙂
None taken. 🙂
Still, it is a madhouse.
…and had a really shiny cool helmut she’d actually have a chance to meet the Moron in Chief. Check this out:
Ride With Armstrong Among Bush’s Plans
I pray that Armstrong says he won’t ride with Bush until Bush not only meets with Cindy Sheehan — with ALL the media present — but also apologizes to Cindy for the needless, senseless, cruel death of her son.
