We're vigiling in front of the Landlord's house says Martin Sheen

[Generic Other]

What Martin Sheen said at Camp Casey today:

"Many who have been silent when they should be getting behind these women and Cindy Sheehan...grateful for those who are vigiling with Cindy...Vigiling is an old Irish tradition...in a dispute with a landlord, you vigil in front of the landlord's house until he comes out and talks...That's what Cindy is doing."

We are all sitting in front of the Landlord's house with Cindy today. Waiting...

1. It's a good way to put it...

how about some good old fashioned keening for the dead? The type of wailing that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck? Think that would get through to the Landlord?

5. Let grief-stricken banshees howl at him!

The Furies and Valkryies too.

8. I'm envisioning...

Nixon in the Marley role somewhere in the future. And I mean Jacob Marley, not Bob...

2. God bless Martin...

...dude's got a rap sheet as long as your arm from peace protests.

Why this sort of Catholic doesn't grace our TV screens more often instead of blowhards like William Donahue is beyond me.

[proud patriot]

4. I did not know that the vigil is an Irish tradition

before Sheen said that today .

7. Shaming the Landlord is the real tradition

It evidently is quite effective judging from its application in this modern instance.
