Slapdown at the Kos Korral

Via Michelle Malkin we find this fascinating thread in the comments at Daily Kos.

It seems that Mother Sheehan was feeling a tad put-upon by recent news that took some of the spotlight off of her grandstanding grief, and posted thusly:

i am watching cnn and it is 100 percent rita...even though it is a little wind and a little rain...it is bad, but there are other things going on in this country today...and in the world!!!!

In case you missed the news, Hurricane Rita was just "a little wind and a little rain," and it was monopolizing CNN for a little while.  Poor, neglected Cindy.

There you go, folks.  That's Mother Sheehan in all her grief-stricken glory.  I can't add a thing.

But what's truly remarkable is the response she gets from her fellow Kossacks:

it is 100 percent rita...even though it is a little wind and a little rain

I'm in Southeast Texas with family on the coast and in Lake Jackson, LA.

I'd like you to tell us it's just a little wind and rain. They've lost their homes, jobs and businesses and gone through fear and panic while you bask in your fan's adulation, party with your celebrity friends and play the star.

Shame on you, you're jealous of media coverage of other's suffering. You've become a caricature and I no longer support you. I'm ashamed I ever did.

Incredible.  She receives a smackdown worthy of the WWF.  It goes on and on, if you care to read it.

Real common sense from the left!  Will wonders never cease?  There may be hope for the Democratic Party yet.

Or not.  We'll see.

A little wind and a little rain? Maybe Cindy should quit her freeloading and come work our claim call center here at the insurance company I work at. There is a very real death-toll resulting from Rita. So glad this "grieving mother" can trivialize that as a "little wind and a little rain". You go Cindy. No, really, go.
