Are You Kidding Me?

Will someone please remind the Sheehanapalooza tour that its 15 minutes are up. Like 30 minutes ago:

.S. peace activist Cindy Sheehan, who won wide attention with a vigil outside President George W. Bush's ranch in the name of her soldier son killed in Iraq, is the subject of a new play by Nobel laureate Dario Fo.

"Peace Mom" received its world premiere in London on Saturday night, starring British actress Frances de la Tour, with both Sheehan and Italian dramatist Fo in the audience.

The one-woman show is based on extracts from Sheehan's letters to Bush and other writings. De la Tour delivered the monologues beneath large pictures of Sheehan's son Casey and a tank in the Iraqi desert in front of a plume of fire.

"Frances did such an amazing job of conveying my feelings of anger and betrayal," a tearful Sheehan said after the play.

She said she hoped the play would help "put a human face" on the war.

I've got a few more human faces on the war. These are the faces of the people we have liberated from a tyrannical dictator who turned Iraq into his personal killing fields.

Instead, we have a leftist Lo helping out fellow leftist Sheehan get her message out.

Fo, the leftist playwright who won the 1997 Nobel Prize for Literature, said his wife and artistic partner Franca Rame would star in a longer final version of the play in Italy.

Anti-Americanism is chic-lit these days, so expect a full audience.
