I'm so glad Froomkin is back! He's always got something good that I've missed...

Hurricane Cindy is gaining strength in Texas.

Cindy Sheehan, the California woman whose son was killed in Iraq last year, continues her not-so-lonely anti-war vigil outside President Bush's Crawford home, the focus of an ever-increasing amount of media attention and speculation about the long-term political effects of her crusade.
...
Judy Keen writes in USA Today: "Cindy Sheehan's modest anti-war protest along the road to President Bush's ranch has evolved into a headline-grabbing national movement....
...
Warren Vieth writes in the Los Angeles Times about how feelings are running high in Crawford: "Melissa Harrison thought she was just being neighborly when she let a group of antiwar activists hold a news conference on her property. Then her father, who lives just down the road, began calling her Hanoi Jane."

And he records that Zahn asked Dana Bash if the WH was aware of perceptions about what's going on...

"BASH: Well, you know, it's interesting the way they sort of deal with this. They are very careful not to say very much at all about this, Paula, but they are not unaware of what is going on.

"They're very well aware that, for example, Cindy Sheehan said that she wanted the president to come out and pray with her on Friday, again, no plans for him to do that.
