Cindy Sheehan book signing







Once again, peacenik Cindy Sheehan is entertaining America with her incurable victimitis. Sheehan has written a book and her publisher organized a book signing in her Crawford, Texas "Camp Casey" protest tent. Problem is, hardly anybody showed up. Cindy is angry with "right-wing" Internet sites (like the Associated Press and Reuters) for publishing pictures of her waiting on "fans." She accused the AP and Reuters of "spreading a false story that nobody bought my book." Sheehan continued, "That is not true, I sold 100 copies and got writer's cramp signing them."

Asked for a response, an AP spokesman commented this afternoon: "Photographer Evan Vucci, queried about the incident today said that he was present at the book signing from about 10 a.m. to about 11 a.m. During that time, he said, people were coming in to have their books signed in small groups of a few at a time.

"At the time the photos were taken 'maybe 5 people had come in,' Vucci says, and Sheehan was waiting for more to stop by, which they did individually as well as in very small groups. Therefore the wording of the caption is accurate in that Sheehan was waiting for people to show up at her signing."

Quite possibly, Crawford, Texas is not the liberal hotbed they thought it was. Do you think they'll ever figure out that all those people hanging around during her protest were other protestors trying to grab a little of her spotlight, and the media covering them?
