Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Presidential stalker Cindy Sheehan has thunder stolen by real world events

Jennifer Harper:

Is Cindy jealous of Katrina? Of Rita?
Someone identified as "Cindy Sheehan," the newly arrested Peace Mom, is vexed that Hurricane Rita stole Cindy's thunder. That was after Rita bumped Katrina out of the way.
Rita's wet, windy weekend tantrum on the Gulf Coast, in fact, so seduced the newspapers and television networks that Cindy's splashy anti-war protests in Washington were bumped out of the biggest, blackest headlines.
Rita is no longer even a tropical depression over Tennessee, but Cindy rallied gamely yesterday, giving the cameras at the White House front gate an eyeful. Mrs. Sheehan was arrested with a dozen other protesters as onlookers chanted, "The whole world is watching."
But Saturday was a different story.
The someone called "Cindy Sheehan" wrote at the DailyKos.com Web site early Saturday evening: "I am watching CNN and it is 100 percent [Hurricane] Rita. Even though it is a little wind and a little rain, it is bad, but there are other things going on in this country today ... and in the world."

That is the problem with political theater. It is just theater and can be overwhelmed by real world events. It is a problem that has plagued Democrats for several months now as they create media storms over Karl Rove or Cindy Sheehan only to see their "framing" ripped from the front pages by Supreme Court nominations or storms that are real life and death drama.

Even when they politicize some of these real world events, the truth finally catches up with the Democrat's framing efforts making them look more dishonest.
