Cindy(it's all about me)Sheehan walks out on Conyers
Way to make it look like more of a circus than it already was there Cindy. And Bugliosi is turning this "hearing" into another stop on his book tour.
Angry Cindy Sheehan exits Judiciary hearing
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan had been sitting in the crowd, and she shouted, "Thank you Vince."
Conyers seemed flustered, reminding Sheehan and others that some "members are urging me to take more action than merely reminding our audience," before trying to move on to the next witness.
"I urge you to take action," said Sheehan, who is among the most visible activists pushing for impeachment. After losing her son in the Iraq war, Sheehan became famous for her roadside vigil outside Bush's Crawford ranch in the summer of 2005, and she has mounted a long-shot bid to unseat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in this year's election.
"OK then, Sheehan, you're out," Conyers said, but the northern California native was already on her way out the door.
"I’m going," she said. "Good-bye."

1. Funny How I Immediately Got An Image Of A Cuckoo Clock In My Head.
Loony tune.
You know, every time I get out the boat and row over to Skins's island to observe the primitives, I always feel as if I'm watching a whole lot of Santa's elves, wearing shorts with suspenders and hats with a feather in them, making cuckoo clocks.

2. If her actions get this hearing on the news stations then she has done a great thing. It might be the only thing that makes the news but then people will hear that there was a hearing.
I love it, the people speak and it is about ****ing time they get to do it. You silence people and abuse them long enough and those who do not believe in retaliating in violence will get their voices heard in any way they can.

3. I think you're wrong about Sheehan and wrong about Bugliosi.
If it weren't for these people, there would not BE a hearing. THEY made it happen.
And what have you done lately to protect our constiution?
I dunno.
I generally protect our constitution by voting Republican; that's usually all it takes.

8. I agree.
Why do people feel the need to pick on anyone who sticks their neck out?

5. Good for her.
Conyers, after delaying any hearing of value for years, hardly deserves anything but scorn.
Didn't the primitives used to love Conyers? How fickle the fleeting flickering finger of fate and fame.....

9. Ditto
Our Dem leaders in congress have been pathetic about holding Bush accountable for his crimes. They, not Bush, are setting the precedent for future Presidents to become dictators for life.
Thank Goddess for Cindy Sheehan and Vince Bugliosi.
Is Goddess one of those television celebrities like Pamela Anderson, that one's never heard of?

6. If you think it's all about "her" you haven't been listening to her very well.
We would all be in a better place if more of our citizens and elected leaders were willing to speak the truth instead of worrying so much about if it's going to make them look foolish, or if someone was going to find it "disruptive."
