King George and National Security

Why is Cindy Sheehan a Threat to George on Thursday, but Not Today?

For the last couple of days I have been hearing that Cindy Sheehan will be considered a threat to national security if she does not leave her post by Thursday. At this point, it’s important to ask: why Thursday? Why is Cindy not a threat today or tomorrow? Why wasn't she considered a threat to national security Saturday when we first marched out to the ranch? What is the difference between Thursday and now?

Let me tell you what the difference is. Thursday Condy Rice and Rummy will be arriving at King George's castle. Sometime either Thursday or Friday King George is going to some kind of fundraiser at the ranch of a local crony. My sources tell me that the only way for King George to get to that ranch from his castle is to drive by Cindy and her supporters. That's right, fellow peasants; King George would have to actually see Cindy.

But that's not the real story. The real story is that the media will be there to record absolutely every movement, every event that happens when King George's carriage goes by. King George has no plans to stop, no plans to talk to Cindy. The media would be there to report and videotape King George driving right on by the throng of peasants and the mother of a fallen hero, snubbing his nose at them as he goes his merry way to the party.

This would not be good for King George in the eyes of his public. In fact, it would be very, very bad.

King George cannot be bothered by the likes of Cindy and the other families of fallen heroes who disagree with him. He has their blood on his hands, but he doesn't care about them.

This kind of reminds me of all the phony, staged "town hall" meetings King George has attended. The audiences are filled with supporters with pre-written questions for the King. It's interesting that none of the audience members have ever disagreed with the King.

The King's throne is crumbling underneath him and he doesn’t even know it.

BuzzFlash Note:

Dan Froomkin on Friday wrote that Bush would hold a press conference Tuesday 8/9.

Upcoming Press Conference

The White House is promising a news conference -- the first one since May -- at the ranch on Tuesday. Bush will start with some remarks about the economy and then take questions from the pool.

Instead, Bush met that day with his economic advisers. The white house site just posted photos ... but, there wasn't a press conference.

Do you think maybe he feared reporters would mention Cindy Sheehan?

Today he's going in front of the media -- safe, in Dennis Hastert's district in Illinois, far from the Crawford ditch. No chance anyone there will mention the protest back at the ranch.

Hopefully, Cindy's message got out and he'll at least be greeted on the way in.
