After promising the world she was just going to go away, Cindy Sheehan is back seeking another 15 minutes of fame

Now she is threatening to run for Congress against Nancy Pelosi if she doesn't get the president impeached.

Cindy Sheehan, the soldier's mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to seek House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's congressional seat unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks.

Sheehan said she will run against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 as an independent if Pelosi does not seek by July 23 to impeach Bush. That's when Sheehan and her supporters are to arrive in Washington, D.C., after a 13-day caravan and walking tour starting next week from the group's war protest site near Bush's Crawford ranch.

"Democrats and Americans feel betrayed by the Democratic leadership," Sheehan told The Associated Press. "We hired them to bring an end to the war. I'm not too far from San Francisco, so it wouldn't be too big of a move for me. I would give her a run for her money."

I'm particularly struck that Sheehan doesn't notice that Bush hasn't committed an impeachable offense. But then again, since when has the Constitution mattered to these people.

I'm also pleasantly surprised at how Sheehan breaks matters down -- referring to "Democrats and Americans". At least she is honest enough to place herself and the rest of the Democrats in the anti-American category where they belong.
