She'd probably be glad to see him upright.
He spends most of his time face down drunk.

Haven't heard shit from her since she ran against Nancy Beligosi a few years back.
Here's what Wikipedia has to say about her. I haven't heard about any of this, but apparently she's still as stuck on stupid as she ever was:
On May 26 and May 28, 2007, Sheehan posted two messages to Daily Kos announcing that she was leaving the Democratic Party after the Democratic-controlled Congress passed a bill authorizing the continued funding of the war in Iraq.[51] She also submitted her resignation as the "face" of the American anti-war movement, stating that she wanted to go home and be a mother to her surviving children. However, on July 3, 2007, in response to President Bush's commutation of Scooter Libby's sentence, she announced her return to activism.[52] She focused on her Congressional campaign in 2008.
Cindy Sheehan campaigns at an End the War Now! rally in San Francisco, October 2007
In August 2009, Sheehan protested at Martha's Vineyard during President Barack Obama's stay there. According to ABC News: "Sheehan invoked Senator Ted Kennedy's passing as part of her message, noting that he was firmly anti-war and how he said his proudest vote as a senator was his 2002 vote against the Iraq war."[53] On October 5, 2009, Sheehan was arrested with 60 others at the White House protesting President Obama's continuation of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She told CNN: "I think the mood of the country and the mood of our movement is getting a little bit more desperate, and (that) this will be the time to be able to translate our tireless activism and work for peace."[54] On December 10, 2009, Sheehan protested on the streets of Oslo, Norway, as President Barack Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize.[55]
On March 20, 2010, Sheehan was again arrested in front of the White House, along with seven others, after they defied orders by officers of the United States Park Police to clear the sidewalk on Pennsylvania Avenue.[56] On July 12, Sheehan and four other activists were on trial in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia stemming from the arrests. The government decided not to try three others arrested that day, and had their cases dismissed. Sheehan and two others were acquitted of crossing a police line, while the other two were found guilty.[57]
On May 2, 2011, Sheehan released a statement indicating that she considers the death of Osama bin Laden to be a hoax, stating: "If you believe the newest death of OBL, you’re stupid."[58] She referred to America as a "lying, murderous Empire" and told Americans, whom she called "brainwashed," to "put [their] flags away."[58][59]
In October 2011, Sheehan was arrested in Sacramento as part of an anti-Wall Street movement.[60]
Despite agreeing to stand as the Socialist Party USA's vice-presidential nominee for the 2012 elections, the party's national convention voted on October 15th, 2011, to block her candidacy, on the official grounds that she isn't a member of the party.[61] The vice-presidential nomination went to Alejandro Mendoza of Texas.
Not all is sunshine and unicorns with Queen Cindy. More from Wiki:
An editorial in Slate by Christopher Hitchens criticized Sheehan,[67] calling her "a vulgar producer of her own spectacle, and an embarrassment to her family and at best a shifty fantasist." Hitchens also called her analysis of the 2003 Iraq War as taking "a short course in the Michael Moore/Ramsey Clark school of Iraq analysis and has not succeeded in making it one atom more elegant or persuasive" and ridiculed her claim about speaking in the name of her son.
In 2005, political commentator[68][69] Bill O'Reilly said Sheehan was never a protestor, but a "political player, whose primary concern is embarrassing the president."[70]
In 2011, an article in The Village Voice criticized her belief that Osama bin Laden was not dead writing that, "she appears to have really lost it."
You know you're "super special batshit crazy" when The Village Voice says "you've lost it!" :lmao:

:rofl: I think your latest DUFU is hilarious! :cheersmate:
Okay, while I don't agree with Cindy or support her protest, I do support her right TO protest. As a parent, I totally get how losing a child could drive you off the rails. She is still anti-war, but the media have stopped following her because she's not protesting something GWB is doing, but rather something Obama is continuing. She may be batshit crazy, but she's no hypocrite. I googled and found this latest broadside addressed to anyone supporting the wars. It's pretty offensive, but hey at least she isn't a hypocrite and I can appreciate that, if nothing else.
When I began protesting, Bush was president and my protest and the energy that grew around it was used by you Democrats to regain political power in the federal government. Four years later and a change of Executive, this nation is still mired in Arab countries waging a war against Arabs of all, or no, faith. Now brought to us by the Blue Team.

Sindy Shehag became a media joke.

If Cindy was the first occupooper, has the occupoption been going on for 24 business hours?

The column is great Charles, and right on the money...that DU thread of Pitt's isn't about the Ditch Witch at all, it's about Pitt. The Pitt, the whole Pitt, and nothing but the Pitt. Pittiful.

it's about Pitt. The Pitt, the whole Pitt, and nothing but the Pitt. Pittiful.
H5! :lmao: :rotf: :lmao: :rotf: :lmao: :rotf:

Well done, Pitt-seriously..
I have been saying for months that the next great discombobulation will occur when DU officially disallows conversation that is supportive of OWS. Attaching Sheehan to Occupy moves the hands of The Discombobulation Clock closer to midnight.
Cindy is politically opposed to Obama, and Democrats in general.
So, If Cindy is anti Obama, and Cindy is the 'first Occupier', then Occupy is anti-Obama. And that isn't allowed at DU.

71. I was proud to be there with her
And proud to call Cindy my friend.
The DUmp falls all over itself in its adoration of Saint Cindy, and rakes one DUmmie over the coals for saying that maybe she didn't really dig her. Man, do they treat each other like shit, or what?! The kind liberals, as Grasswire would say.
Charles, this piece of lyric made me laugh:
Boring waste of bandwidth, glazing of the eye
