Cindy Sheehan

One interesting thing about the Cindy Sheehan story is that it is potentially such an easy opportunity for Bush to score political points. The big focus is on why he won't meet with her. Well, it would be pretty darned easy for him to meet with her. A lot easier than, say, making any headway in the Iraq debacle. So it is a politician's dream: he is facing growing demands that he do something that would be incredibly easy for him to do.

Maybe that is where we're headed. But between Bush's mania for showing that he never gives in or changes his mind, and, I am guessing, a feeling of terror about having to leave his protective bubble for a few minutes and meet a woman who is angry at him because she lost (he lost) her son, perhaps this incredibly easy thing is more than he can do. We will see.

    Dan, I don't think in the end it would be easy for GWB to meet with Cindy Sheehan. After all the consersative talking heads have said about her actions being treasonous and hurtful to the morale of the troops (like they actually might care) I think that he would see meeting with her as some sort of political capitulation. It would mean that he would have to take some responsibility for the useless deaths of soldier's lives. Bush knows the floodgate that meeting with Cindy Sheehan would open. If he were smart (which he is decidedly not) he'd invite her to the house,ranch or whatever it is for tea with him and Laura. He won't do this because he lacks the ability to truly make a fearless and searching moral inventory of himself and his actions. Too bad for the rest of us.

    the indexes easily.

    Saw your blog about card consolidation credit loan - as it is along the same lines I thought I would share this link with you. We were paying far too much for family things like clothes for us and the kids, games consoles inc the new Wii and soon to be PS3, car insurance/home insurance/pet insurance, broadband, mobile phones, landline calls, home and garden items, camping equipment and utilities/loans etc - you name it, we were spending too much on it.

    Then a friend of mine recommended a site called www.bargainplace.co.uk. We were able to get cheaper electricity, gas, mobile phone, broadband and loan deals at bargainplace. Thanks to my friend (and the site) I am saving something like £100 a month and can afford an extra holiday abroard each year. Booked of course on www.bargainplace.co.uk. Thanks bargainplace ;-) !!
