How to win friends and influence people, not

I said something similar about Harry Belafonte last week, but today I'm going to say it about Cindy Sheehan. Today's news reported that she was at a rally in Venezuela, arm in arm with Hugo Chavez, denouncing the war and the president.

Now, I have no beef with Hugo Chavez, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that if you want to win friends and influence people, you don't go trapsing around the world denouncing an American president while you're hand in hand with a foreign leader -- particularly a foreign leader who has been labeled a communist by your own government. It just isn't good politics. Hanoi Jane. Caracas Cindy?

I don't watch Faux News, but I can just imagine the field day they'll have with this. It will be almost as good as Kerry calling for a fillibuster from the ski slopes in Davos, Switzerland.
