The media has forgotten about Sheehan and rightly so. Take a look what she has to say on her blog:
“I think we should finish the tour so we can talk about what an abject failure this administration is. The unnecessary tragedy in New Orleans is directly related to the unnecessary tragedy in Iraq: Unnecessary being the operative word.
Innocent people are dying daily in this world. In the crush of the hurricane story, the fact that 950 people (mostly women and children) were trampled to death in Iraq was buried in the back sections. Those are 950 people who would still be alive if George Bush were not president. 950 people in Iraq and how many thousands in the Gulf States died while the emperor strummed a guitar and knocked a golf ball around? Additonally, eight of our brave and wonderful soldiers have been needlessly killed in Iraq since Monday.
I really believe that George and his band of incompetent and dangerous thugs need to resign. It would be the only honorable and competent thing to do. But wait….”

I need not reiterate the fact that local governments are more to blame than the Bush administration for this Katrina debacle. All one has to do is look at the pictures posted on multiple other bogs of the school busses under water to realize that.
*UPDATE*
Found this gem, too.
“I spoke and I talked about how George couldn’t come out and see me when I was in Crawford, because he didn’t have an answer for me: there is no “Noble Cause” so how could he answer me. He admitted the other day that it was for oil. I don’t consider that a good enough reason for so many people being dead. Iraq could and would sell us their oil. I really believe immoral criminals are running our country and it is making me even more determined to save it with millions of my fellow citizen’s help.
This morning, I was watching Scotty McClellan’s press conference and the press corps was asking him about the failure in preparations for the hurricane. He kept on saying: “this is not the time to point fingers, lay blame, or for politics.” Of course it isn’t, when the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the people he works for. From diverting money to Iraq that was intended to shore up the levees and make New Orleans safer, to sending over 30 percent of the National Guard from Louisianna, Mississippi, and Alabama to Iraq in a war that never has made sense, George Bush has failed this country. By his actions in the first few days of the Katrina tragedy, he has also demonstrated that he doesn’t care about Americans whether they are in Iraq or in America.”
