Seems like every election year gets a name from lefties. It used to be "The Year of the Woman." Two thousand and eight is turning out to be the year of "The Year of the Feminist Mom".
Personally, I think Feminists would stink since they sneer at the idea of motherhood outside of the fact that it might get them things like free college, free housing and dates. Feminists defend abortion so you can see what they think of children and motherhood in general.
In the left wing feminist mind, kids are just political means to an end. Just a few weeks ago the liberal (probably describe herself as a feminist) Rosie put up pictures of her five year old daughter Vivi dressed as Islamic terrorist complete with a bandoleer of bullets around her chest. Personally I think CPS should have been called in, but that's not the point of this piece. Rosie isn't running for office and there are two rotten mothers that are (and are going to crash.)
The two are: Nancy Pelosi and Cindy Sheehan. The year 2006 put the Queen Bee Pelosi in charge. And envious eyes glared when the Queen took the center of the hive, put her grandchildren on her lap and made some stupid speech about how women are supieror because they have children (even if nannies raise said offspring.)
And the left and the unbiased, non partisan media orgasmed as the it looked like the age of Bush was ending.
So here we are six months later and the extremists on the left (the guys who give millions of dollars to candidates and organizations in an attempt to get the "big money" out of politics) aren't happy with the work of the Queen Bee. Thus there are now contenders for the throne (which is funny, because according to feminists women are non competitive unlike barbaric men.)
Enter Cindy Sheehan who's son Casey died in Iraq (for those of you who have been living on Mars the past six years.) Pelosi isn't moving fast enough for Cindy. Thus, Cindy has announced that she will run for Pelosi's House seat if Impeachment Articles aren't presented by July 23rd.
Forget everything you hear from the left about free speech, government returning to the little guy and so on. Now that one of their own is under assault from one of their own, you're going to see just how nasty the libs can be. Already the Left wing blogosphere is on fire with messages "Don't run Cindy".
Don't get me wrong, Sheehan doesn't have a bat's chance in Hell of winning. But that's never the point with the left. The point is that someone actually *dared* to question the way they run things. The worst place for any poor sap to be is between a lib and what that lib thinks is their god given power. Thus Sheehan is only going to be stung to death by 10,000 little socialist worker bees.
That said, from where I sit this might actually be fun to watch to the libs eat one of their own. It's going to be fun to watch as Sheehan's eyes widen in horror as once friendly journalists start asking hard questions instead of the usual softballs.
This might provide a momentary distraction in '08 - so let's all hope the bad mothers run...
