Oddjack Cultural Oddsmaker: Cindy Sheehan’s Last Stand

READ MORE: Cindy Sheehan, Oddjack Cultural Oddsmaker

_40701482_sheehan_story_ap.jpgThis week’s Oddjack Cultural Oddsmaker takes a big drunken swing at the growing saga(or non-saga) of grieving mother Cindy Sheehan who has spent the last two weeks sitting outside President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Tex., demanding a meeting with Dubya about the Iraq war and the death of her son. She has vowed that she will not leave the ranch until Bush’s vacation ends, he meets with her or Bush brings home troops from Iraq. Though those possibilities seem listed in order of likelihood, we don’t necessarily think those are the only potential outcomes of Sheehan’s protest. Oddjack has recruited lovable scamp Will Leitch to handicap the crap out of this thing. Embrace the odds, after the jump.
