Mama Moonbat Writes a Fairy Tale

So Momma Moonbat wrote a book called "Not One More Mother's Child" based upon her "journal".  In between the phony tears and the anti-American tirades, she has managed to put enough material together, or had a ghost writer.  (Which is common.)

"I miss him more every day. It seems the void in my life grows as time goes on, and I realize I am never going to see him again or hear his voice," Sheehan wrote. "I knew he was going to be a great man. I just had no idea how great he was going to be or how much it was going to hurt me."

He is indeed a great man.  Despite her, he turned out to be the antithesis of his mother.

"He didn't enlist to be used and misused by a reckless commander in chief who sent his troops to preemptively attack and occupy a country that was no imminent threat or any threat to our country," she writes.

But he re-enlisted!  Casey Sheehan was quite capable of thinking for himself.  I doubt if he felt used and misused.  The only one using and misusing Casey Sheehan is his own pathetic mother.

I maintain that victimhood is not greatness.  Greatness is achieved by those who throw off the shackles of victimhood and fight it.  We remember those that do something other than live in self-pity.  Sheehan continues to live in her own self aggrandizing pity.

But this is America and she has her few minutes of fame.  She can write a book and despite the fatuous and duplicitous rhetoric of the left about suppression of rights, ad nauseum, no one is stopping her or censoring her.

At GOP Bloggers, Mark Noonan ponders:

"…if Sheehan inserted into her books her theories about the war being for Israel and/or oil...my guess is that the publisher would excise such remarks...but if its a lefty enough publisher, they might be left in."

Or how about the idiotic comment about getting our troops out of occupied New Orleans?

OK, Fine, she wrote a book.  I won’t be buying it, but if you think you want to buy it, have at it.  Reading some self-serving screed filled with false piety and self-pity just isn’t my idea of great literature.

Which just begs the question – who is supporting her?   According to the article the initial printing is only 20,000 copies.  I don’t pretend to know how the book printing industry works, but my guess is she got a small advance of several thousand dollars, but that won’t pay the bills for long.  Besides, who was paying the freight until the book came along?

Who buys the food, where does she live and who does she ask when she needs a plane ticket?

I don’t understand how this all works.  Is ANSWER sponsoring her and paying the bills?  Or IVAR?  Both?  Someone else? If so, I wonder what her budget is. 

How do you do all this without a job?

Currently all Violence workers get a 250,000 dollar life insurance policy unless they explicitly deny it. Cpl Sheehan was no different. I'm not up to date on his family or how he got along or if he had a wife or whatnot but more than likely his mother got some of that.

This is just a guess, he may have denied it but at 20 bucks a month for 250K in case something bad happend to you, I didn't know anyone who didn't take it.
