A Great Day For Freedom

Mama Sheehan, that political gadfly the left now wishes would just "go away", has taken her wildly successful booksigning tour to Spain.

As you recall, The Patriarch of Pain spent an uneventful Thanksgiving afternoon in a tent in Crawford, Texas, awaiting the mobs who were surely queing to get her autograph on the ghostwritten, direct-to-paperback book "Not One More Mother's Child."



Her publisher contested reports of the snooze-fest, claiming that "about 100 people showed up." A pretty good day's haul, considering her book hovers between 20,000 and 30,000 on the Amazon ranking.

Looking for more fertile fields, Mama Sheehan jetted off to Spain, where another measly 100 or so people showed up to take pictures of America's Mother.



"Arrgh! Someone get this purple ink off my finger!"

PSST!!

I have some news for you, Cindy: MILLIONS of other mothers are celebrating in Iraq; mothers in a formerly totalitarian society now have something they never had: the right to vote; the right to choose their own future.



These are mothers that surely value Casey Sheehan's life, and his brave sacrafice, far more than his biological mother ever will.

These are the Faces of Freedom - the faces of The Mothers of All Fallen Soldiers. Their joy is matched only by the pride we feel as we stand with the Iraqi people.
