Mother Moonbat Denounces America From Venezuela
Yet again reinforcing the point that what Cindy Sheehan and her cohort are against is not the war against Islamic terrorism so much as America itself, Mother Moonbat has now traveled to Venezuela to propagandize on behalf of anti-American strongman Hugo Chavez at the annual leftist kookfest called the World Social Forum.
"I admire him for his resolve against my government and its meddling," she said of a hostile foreign leader who has been doing his best to destabilize democracies throughout Latin America.
According to the Ditch Witch, Venezuela's foreign ministry sponsored her visit. Our enemies must think the propaganda she generates is at least worth a plane ticket. Maybe bin Laden should invite her over to speak from his cave.

You know, missing from all this is that while she has been quite busy, jetting off recently to Hawaii, then Europe and now Venezuela, is how is this being paid for?
Pitiful in a way, in that she's made a Faustian bargin and now.
On another note, there is an excellent column in today's Wall Street Journal, by Brian Anderson on how the left has discovered McCain-Fiegold can be manipulated to suppress views other than their own.

OpinionJournal says:
Indeed, the Sheehan tour to Caracas belongs in the "you-can't-make-it-up" category: A bitterly outspoken American citizen who has made a career of lambasting her president, she travels abroad to celebrate with a dictator who has thrown his own critics out of work and even put them in prison, stripped the press of its freedom, destroyed property rights and militarized the government. His political supporters are known to be armed and dangerous and many Venezuelans in poor neighborhoods have reported that they are afraid to dissent from the Chavez agenda. Venezuela's arms build-up is frightening his neighbors and threatening regional stability.
Yeah, but the important thing is... Cindy gets to be on TV, which psychologists tell us is an important part of the grieving process.

Meanwhile, Chavez's Worker's Paradise Continues to Crumble
Venezuela is literally breaking off in chunks under the Hugo Chavez dictatorship. The Viaducto 1 bridge to the airport is tottering on its last legs, and unusable, leaving anyone flying in from the Maiquetia airport on the coastline the wretched specter of mountain donkey trails to cross in order to get to homes or hotels in inland Caracas. But that’s not all. El Universal is reporting that a critical bridge to the hinterland has just collapsed, this one linking Yaracuy state, This goes to show the neglect and lack of investment and maintenance that is plaguing Venezuela as it Cubanizes.

You know Cindy, they have a name for people who can cry on cue. They're called ACTORS!

If ever I'd considered ending my boycott of Citgo gasoline (owned by Venezuelan interests), this nailed it: the boycott stays.

In case anyone is still following this thread. The interview at this link is incredible. She attacks the Roman Catholic Church and Bill Clinton.
Truly she has lost it
