Organizers of a peace march from the Brunswick Mall to Brunswick Naval Air Station on Saturday morning — the first day of the Great State of Maine Air Show — hope to call attention to the role of the military in American society.
Cindy Sheehan — the woman who has been pressing President Bush for an answer to why her son died in the war in Iraq and who spent most of August camped with supporters outside Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch — had been scheduled to march with protesters and to speak, but has canceled and will not march.
And the group was understandably disappointed without their leader.
Peace groups in Maine were disappointed this week to hear that Cindy Sheehan had called off her plan to appear in Brunswick on Saturday.
Awwww....
A spokeswoman for Sheehan said last week that she had canceled a trip to Italy to participate in Brunswick. But a new spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday that Sheehan had opted to join a bus caravan in Atlanta.
Cancelled a trip to Italy for a bus tour to Maine??
Sheehan also canceled a scheduled appearance in Colorado, Buffa said.
Three cancelled appearances? Why? Could it be that there wouldn't enough MSM reporters trying to get a shot of her?
Sheehan apparently agreed to visit Brunswick before she drew the spotlight during her vigil in Texas. Last winter, she appeared on a public access cable show hosted by Gagnon in Brunswick. Doug Rawlings, president of Veterans For Peace in Maine, speculated that Sheehan's choice to join the caravan in Atlanta was strategic, based on her ability to draw media attention.
No kidding? I'm sure Cindy Sheehan is angry at Hurricane Katrina for messing up her media frenzy tour. I'm upset at Hurricane Katrina, too, but not for that reason. She'll effectively blame President Bush for the hurricane that messed up her destiny for the tour spotlight.
Go back home, Cindy.
