Sheehan to Feinstein: Filibuster Alito, Or I'll Run Against You
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has threatened to run for Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-Calif.) seat unless Feinstein filibusters Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito.
Sheehan, who was in Caracas, Venezuela Friday attending the World Social Forum, heard that several Democrats planned to filibuster Alito but that Feinstein, who is up for re-election in November, announced that she will vote against Alito but would not filibuster the nomination.
"I'm appalled that Diane Feinstein wouldn't recognize how dangerous Alito's nomination is to upholding the values of our constitution and restricting the usurpation of presidential powers, for which I've already paid the ultimate price," Sheehan said in a statement.

Yoo hoo! Cindy! Your fifteen minutes were up quite a while ago. That didn't stop you from reminding everyone that you are a Grieving Mother (version 1.0, registered trademark, patent pending).
What a pathetic excuse for a human.
