Your 15 minutes of fame are up, baby.

When writing or talking about Cindy Sheehan (which, thank heavens, has not been often), I have made an effort to always give her the benefit of the doubt since she had to be a mother who was clearly in unbelievable pain which obviously led her to make unbelievably stupid statements whenever a television camera or print reporter was within shouting distance of her entourage.

She has gone from pathetic grieving mother to boorish (AKA television poison). This hasn't dawned on the ditz and Cindy has decided that television journalists have had a big meeting and are now collectively giving her the silent treatment.

In what has to be one of the most idiotic ideas to ever grace a website, Cindy Sheehan has put up a petition on her website that shows what she is really all about:

"Cindy Sheehan Deserves to be Heard by the American People on Television Talk Shows! To television talk show hosts, producers, and network executives:We the undersigned petitioners do hereby request that Cindy Sheehan be given the opportunity to tell her story on the major television talk shows...."

Is this chick for real?

A petition to get on talk shows? This is unbelievable on its face.

If you have ever heard this woman whine her way through a sing-songy, boringly predictable speech -- and lived to tell about it -- you know what I'm talking about here. What desperate, burned out booker would contemplate putting Cindy Sheehan on air? It is the very definition of bad television to have someone on that makes your eyes bleed from both the screechy, whiny voice and the mind-numbing philosophy she has been infected by.

I would rather hammer my knee caps into a bloody pulp than listen to that woman on any talk show. I would rather pull all of my teeth out with a rusty pair of pliers. I would rather have a C-section without an epidural. I would rather listen to a Hillary Rodham Clinton speech.

In all seriousness, Cindy Sheehan has overshot her 15 minutes of fame by about an hour and a half and we are speeding quickly from 'overexposed' to 'downright annoying'.

It is inconceivable to me that her son shared her radical views. If so, he should never have signed on the dotted line in the first place. For this reason and for all of those brave men and women in our nation's uniform (including several friends and family members...), she is an embarrassment plain and simple.

It just goes to show you how desperate the left is when they have to truly scrape the bottom of the spin barrel to come up with this broad as their lead spokesperson against the effort in Iraq.
