The Democrats in the Congress have a chance to show real leadership and to solve one of their biggest problems all at once. That's right, they really can make a difference. As they found out just the other day, playing doctor can be dangerous. As in Doctor Frankenstein. When you build and unleash a monster it can turn on you at any moment. So it was on Wednesday of this week when Cindy Sheehan and her pals drove Rahm Emanuel away from the microphones and killed a Democratic party press conference.
Today comes news that Sheehan is in Cuba to lead a protest.
Sheehan is among 12 human rights and anti-war activists who will travel across this Caribbean island next week, arriving at the main gate of the Guantanamo base in eastern Cuba on Thursday — five years after the first prisoners were flown in.
"Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not afraid of anything," Sheehan said when asked about the possibility of U.S. sanctions for traveling to communist-run Cuba, which remains under an American trade embargo.
So all the Democrats have to do now is pass legislation requiring Cuba to keep her!
