"Beating a political stake in your black heart will be the fulfillment of my life ..."

Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, California, whose son, Army Specialist Casey Austin Sheehan was one of the more than 1,700 Americans who have lost their lives in the current war in Iraq, speaks her mind. This is courage.

    Sheehan ridiculed Bush for saying that it's "hard work" comforting the widow of a soldier who's been killed in Iraq.

    "Hard work is seeing your son's murder on CNN one Sunday evening while you're enjoying the last supper you'll ever truly enjoy again. Hard work is having three military officers come to your house a few hours later to confirm the aforementioned murder of your son, your first-born, your kind and gentle sweet baby. Hard work is burying your child 46 days before his 25th birthday. Hard work is holding your other three children as they lower the body of their big (brother) into the ground. Hard work is not jumping in the grave with him and having the earth cover you both," she said.
