IF CINDY SHEEHAN RUNS FOR CONGRESS IN THE WOODS AND...

If Cindy Sheehan were to run for Congress in the woods and no one was their to cover her, would she have really run? Well, we're finding out now, because as of August 9, 2007, she announced that she's running against Nancy Pelosi. This is awesome news, but what difference will it make if the press doesn't do their job and cover her?

In a September 10, 2007 article at TheHill.com (here: http://urltea.com/1h08) it was reported that:

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was arrested Monday in or near the hearing room where Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker are testifying on the situation in Iraq, according to the U.S. Capitol Police.

Oh, is that all she is? Seems to me like she's a congressional candidate now--shouldn't that be in there some place? To "reporter" Klaus Marre's credit, he does mention that Sheehan is running for Pelosi's seat...in the very last sentence of the article.

Of course, the article doesn't mention what Sheehan and the other protesters were saying or what specific testimony was being interrupted when they were pulled out.

Naw, Klaus couldn't have put something like that into the article. That would be like covering the event fully and completely.

Can't have that sort of thing in the media these days.

Oh yeah and if you want to support Sheehan's bid for Congress (she's going to need all the help she can get with crappy coverage like this) check out her site here: CindyForCongress.Org

Boy, it sure would be nice to have someone in government who would impeach Bush.

The law can be pretty neat when it's followed.
