And We're Off (Sheehan Runs Against Pelosi)
Let the vanity runs for offices begin: Tenacious Texas trespasser and brilliant anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan just promised to maybe, possibly, perhaps make a run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi if our current Speaker fails to (finally) jumpstart a Bush impeachment come July 23. Sheehan plans to make it official next Tuesday, run as an independent, and swears to "give [Pelosi] a run for her money."
Ladies, please!
But seriously, while this may come off as a narcissistic stunt (a la Josh Wolf’s Christ-like and Chicken John’s crafty and blatent star-making moves as San Francisco Mayoral candidates), Sheehan seems to be doing it to get the impeachment-filing process started, which? Is a pretty nifty statement if that's her ultimate goal. What do you think?

Without other prominent leaders backing her up, it means nothing.
I am for Chicken John...as anyone who wants to rid San Francisco of that bow and arrow sculpture down near the bay bridge has my vote. Cindy Sheehan might consider running against someone like the son of Duncan Hunter who is going to seek his daddy's seat down in the San Diego Area. That family dynasty has got to go. Josh Wolf..well his 10 minutes of fame lingers on I guess. I could vote for him as well.
a catfight? do you really need to go there? what year is this???
Cindy thinks she can beat Nancy? She really needs to buy a clean crack pipe.
I have to object to the use of two different spellings of Ms. Sheehan's name in one posting...by the NEW EDITOR?! Sheesh. The standards around here...
Yipes! It's fixed. And I thank you, baldguy, for pointing out the error in such a polite manner. I mean, we're all a bit clumsy and careless when we first break our hymen, right? Right.
I dunno, I'm a virgin.
Welcome, Brock, and enjoy your 'fisting!
I concur with "guest" posting at 11:35 a.m.: Brock, your characterization of two women duking it out as a catfight seems a little retrograde to me. It's not like Sheehan threw her hat in the ring because of Pelosi's fashion sense.
But welcome to SFist.
Those cats are dancing. Looks like a very civil waltz. It's a nice metaphor, not an old fashioned, sexist one.
Guest #8: Why, because fashion is silly, pointless, and girly while politics are grave, critically imporant, and chin-scratchingly complex? Ugh. It's actually the other way around.
But thanks for the welcome! Appreciate it.
