Surrender Mom gets new Diggs

Sheehan has purchased a 5-acre plot in Crawford, saying she did so with some of the insurance money she received after her son, Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq.

I may be mistaken on this but the last I heard she still hadn’t bought a grave stone for her son’s grave.

“We decided to buy property in Crawford to use until George’s resignation or impeachment, which we all hope is soon for the sake of the world,” Sheehan said in a newsletter, scheduled to be sent to her supporters today. “I can’t think of a better way to use Casey’s insurance money than for peace, and I am sure that Casey approves.”

It is amazing that she is on a first name basis with a guy she hates so much.

Now an official resident of Crawford, like Bush, Sheehan predicted in the newsletter that she and her supporters will “enjoy a cordial relationship with everyone.”

Did she get a Smoothie machine with the property? Perhaps she should invite fellow Hunger Striker Saddam Hussein over for a house warming party.

Update From The Waco Tribune-Herald

Longtime Crawford resident Bobby D. Ramsey sold a little more than five acres to Gerald T. Fonseca, a New Orleans native who said he was displaced by Hurricane Katrina last fall. Fonseca was in Crawford along with hundreds of other war protesters when the hurricane destroyed his home Aug. 29.

While Fonseca’s name is on the deed as the land’s new owner, Sheehan’s protest group will use the property for this year’s Camp Casey, the peace camp named for Sheehan’s son, Casey Sheehan, a 24-year-old Fort Hood soldier killed in Iraq in 2004.

In September, Fonseca said, ownership of the land will be transferred to Sheehan.

Ramsey, who soon may find unexpected neighbors when protesters move into a huge tent on the property he sold, said he was unaware before the sale that it would be used by Sheehan to host Camp Casey in August.

“(Fonseca) said he was going to build a home and, one day, a shop (on the land),” Ramsey said Thursday, speaking from his adjacent property in Crawford. “He told me that Katrina wiped him out.. . . . It didn’t even occur to me that he could use it for this.”

Fonseca confirmed he never indicated to his new neighbors that the land would be transferred to Sheehan, but he said that was always the plan. He said the $52,500 used to pay for the property — a spread of rustic, wooded prairie with no houses — came from Sheehan and her Gold Star Families for Peace.

Fonseca said he acted as “an agent” for Sheehan, negotiating the purchase and closing the deal with Ramsey.

If the Previous owner reduced the price because he was helping a “Katrina Victim” he could be sued for Fraud and the sale could be nullified.
