Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Cindy Sheehag’s book signing a dud

From WND:

While book-signings for political figures like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ann Coulter or Sean Hannity often feature long lines and people waiting for hours, the scene at Cindy Sheehan’s book-signing yesterday near President Bush’s Crawford, Texas, ranch was a much more lonely affair.

Photographs published by wire services including the Associated Press and Reuters depict a lonely “Peace Mom” in a virtually empty tent awaiting those seeking her autograph on her new book, “Not One More Mother’s Child.”

The Washington Post reported the scene this way: “Sheehan found herself addressing a crowd of only about 100 on Saturday afternoon. The large tent where supporters had erected a stage hung with the banner ‘Speak Truth to Power’ was only partially full. Earlier, Sheehan signed copies of her new book for an even smaller crowd.

“What if Cindy had a book signing and no one came?” asks one poster in an online messageboard. “Well we know what happened. No one cares about her but the press. Cindy is finished.”

“Frankly I’m amazed the DNC/AP allowed these photos to see the light of day,” writes another. “Usually their photogs do their (unlevel) best to angle their cameras and crop their pictures to make Mother Sheehan always appear to be at the center of a worshipful swarm. I’m afraid someone is going to be in hot water for letting us glimpse the truth.”

I concur. AP and al-Reuters let these photos see the light of day? Boy, someone’s going to get fired over letting that happen!

The collections department for the Fifteen Minutes of Fame Platinum Card called, Cindy. It seems that you’re waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy over your credit limit of fifteen minutes. Payment of the bill is long overdue. Time will tell if the MSM division of said collections department will extend her credit limit some more or not.

"You mean I wasn’t drafted?"

Thanks to Kira for passing this on to me. Article here, excerpt follows:

Gov. Bill Richardson is coming clean on his draft record _ the baseball draft, that is, admitting that his claim to have been a pick of the Kansas City A’s in 1966 was untrue.

For nearly four decades, Richardson, often mentioned as a possible Democratic presidential candidate, has maintained he was drafted by the Kansas City Athletics.

The claim was included in a brief biography released when Richardson successfully ran for Congress in 1982. A White House news release in 1997 mentioned it when he was about to be named U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. And several news organizations, including The Associated Press, have reported it as fact over the years.

But an investigation by the Albuquerque Journal found no record of Richardson being drafted by the A’s, who have since moved to Oakland, or any other team.

Informed by the newspaper of its findings, the governor acknowledged the error in a story in Thursday’s editions.

“After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter … I came to the conclusion that I was not drafted by the A’s,” he said.

If I understand Richardson correctly, he thought that he was drafted by the A’s. He never talked to the A’s (or any other team), yet he thought he had been drafted? Have you ever seen a pro sports draft? They always talk to the athlete before drafting him, or at the very least, call him afterwards with necessary information (i.e. when to report for practice, where to go, etc.).

That’s just too funny: “I thought I had been drafted, and have been maintaining it for years with the MSM simply taking my word for it. Now that someone actually did real journalistic work and investigated the claim, it looks like I hadn’t been drafted at all. Well, that’s news to me…as well as to the rest of the MSM who parroted my claim. I could have sworn that hearing from nobody was prrof that I had been drafted!”
