Comments on: More on Sheehan http://dangerousdan.us/?p=1116 Thoughts and musings on the world Sun, 22 Aug 2010 22:26:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Dangerous Dan » A Tad More Sheehan http://dangerousdan.us/?p=1116&cpage=1#comment-11842 Dangerous Dan » A Tad More Sheehan Wed, 31 Aug 2005 03:33:47 +0000 http://dangerousdan.us/?p=1116#comment-11842 [...] Count ‘em… that’s three ‘very’s.’ I said a while back that Sheehan had ceased to be a grieving mother and had instead become a political activist with a political agenda and that as such, Bush should treat her politically and not meet with her. She was never interested in asking questions, or at least none for which she was earnestly interested in proffered answers. She wanted to berate President Bush. Had Bush met with her a second time, that’s just what she would have done and then she would have played it up in the media saying that in the meeting he lied, was hostile, callous, or some other account that fits her perception of Bush and her agenda. It actually probably would have helped her. Now, however, she’s at least thrown off the fiction that she really wants to meet with Bush, though she will surely continue to play the ignored mother card.
