Now that I put up a silly joke in Bob's second diary on Cindy Sheehan today, I feel compelled to explain it here.
I wrote "Sheehan = chiant"
"chiant", in French, is a slang word that means "crap", and is pronounced pretty much exactly like Cindy Sheehan's name is pronounced. Which is what one might say about the orgy of comments about her.
I thought I'd be crossposting today my diary about Sarkozy but that would mostly be chiant, so you brave souls that care about that loser can click the link and see the full, wonky version on European Tribune.
Or you can keep on yapping about Cindy Sheehan. But please don't forget that she lost a son to George Bush's genocidal wars. While that does not give her every right, it does entitle her to a modicum of respect, or at least of wary silence if you disagree with her.
