We have not commented on the pathetic story of Cindy Sheehan, but since she appears in a video offering praise to Democratic Underground — well, that’s really about all anyone needs to know.

UPDATE

As with so many things nowadays, the truth is even worse than we first thought. This Sheehan / Nutball Internet Convergence is a planned and orchestrated happening. Here’s Byron York, reporting a conference call on which Sheehan thanked “a group of antiwar bloggers for supporting her, saying that without the Internet, America would be a ‘fascist state’:”

The conference call was moderated by Democratic strategist Joe Trippi, who managed former Vermont governor Howard Dean’s presidential campaign in 2003 and 2004. It was also organized by another Democratic strategist, Bob Fertik of democrats.com. (During the conference, Fertik said that for the purposes of the call, he was representing yet another website, the antiwar site afterdowningstreet.com.) Finally, Jodie Evans of the anti-war group Code Pink also took part in running the sometimes-chaotic call. Trippi has posted a recording of the call on his own website, joetrippi.com

UPDATE II

Drudge reports that Sheehan’s family thinks ill of her shenanigans.
