Thank you, Mark Goldblatt for the Gospel according to Cindy. She is right about one thing when she thanks God for the Internet "or we wouldn't know anything." For how would we have the full, unexpurgated text of Cindy's fulminations, were it not for Goldblatt in TAS Online? No family newspaper would stay in business long if it printed what this foul-mouthed lunatic has to say.

In fact, Cindy would not be in business long if any newspaper or any periodical printed what she actually has to say. Instead we are treated to the Myth of Cindy -- the pundits who laud her as the person who has "put a face on those who object to our being in Iraq."

Cindy does not speak for me and if I thought her face remotely resembled mine, I would slit my wrists. That may seem cruel, but Cindy's is not a face contorted with grief; but rather the visage of a person consumed by an unreasoning political hatred that probably began when Bill Clinton got caught "with his pants down" and got impeached for lying to a grand jury.

We have "Lefties-in-need-of-a-lobotomy" just like her, daily, in our local fish-wrap's Letters to the Editor column. All vitriol, all the time. The only difference is they have no KIA son to buttress their argument.

Too bad you missed her latest gibberish: "Bush wants to kill more soldiers because he has killed soldiers."
