Cindy Sheehan, mother of slain Iraq soldier, Casey Sheehan
Well, the cockroaches are beginning to come out of the cracks.
I don't read the Drudge Report – for several reasons: the site is cheap-looking, for one, and he’s a self-hating fag who profits from scandal, gossip and yellow journalism, for another.
Since I don’t read his rag, I had to find out from other sources that the big, bad, self-hating Drudge was again rearing his ugly head in an attempt to capitalize on someone else’s misery to sell copy. That’s what he does best.
It wasn’t enough that he tried to take Cindy down by misquoting her. When the legitimate press fired back, he dug deep in his bag of slimy tricks and pulled out a sister-in-law, Cherie Quartarolo, who claims to speak for Casey.
First, Imelda Malkin, the Republican comfort woman, thought she knew what Casey would want. Now, a sister-in-law, who is seconds away from making her Jerry Springer appearance – it can’t be far away, she’s on the Drudge Report, after all – thinks her standing as Cindy’s sister-in-law gives her the moral authority to speak for Casey.
Let's make one thing clear: Casey Sheehan came from Cindy Sheehan's body. She gave him life, nursed him, loved him, raised him, and they remained close until his death. She knew more about her son than anyone. ANYONE.
No one else -- neither grandmother nor aunt -- has the right to use Casey's name in any way or to even assume that they can speak for him.
When my own mother died, my sister-in-law (her daughter-in-law), wanted to participate in the funeral arrangements, claiming my mother had made statements to her about how she wanted things. I knew that was a lie. My siblings knew it was a lie, even her husband. My mother hated her. I was my mother’s baby – as they say – and my brothers and sisters acknowledged that I was the most logical choice to make all the arrangements, but my sister-in-law, who was a selfish, conniving parasite, who didn’t like me, tried to be a bitch one last time.
Cindy Sheehan has made it clear that the rift with her in-laws goes back to November. They are diehard Bushies, who have bought his lie part and parcel.
If anyone is using Casey, it is they. They are capitalizing on his death and Cindy's new notoriety in an attempt to advance the Bush agenda.
In any family, the death of a relative brings out every lunatic, cockroach and parasite there is. That's what is happening here. They don't like Cindy. They don't like her politics. And they are using her dead son to get back at her.

For a glimpse at what a complete lying scumbag Matt Drudge is check out the developing story on the front page of my site. I caught Drudge in the act of fabricating a story about Courtney Love's supposed suicide.
