Need help finding quote re: Cindy Sheehan

[EarlG]

I'm looking for the exact text of the quote which I'm paraphrasing here: in response to Drudge and other right-wing smear attacks, Cindy said something along the lines of "the words of a mother who lost her son in Iraq are being scrutinized more closely than the words of a president who lied the country into war."

If anyone can provide me with the correct quote and a link, I would very much appreciate it.

1. it's here in Cindy's Huffpost

"It’s ironic, given the attacks leveled at me recently, how some in the media are so quick to scrutinize -- and distort -- the words and actions of a grieving mother but not the words and actions of the president of the United States."

3. Cindy refuted most of their claims on Olbermann last night

Maybe try MSNBC for the transcript. http://www.crooksandliars.com might have the video.

5. Here's a similar quote from Monday Aug 8th in response to the claim

she changed her description of her meeting with Bush.

"Why do the right wing media so assiduously scrutinize the words of a grief filled mother and ignore the words of a lying president?"
