In marked contrast to her testy interview yesterday with NPR’s Neal Conan, Cindy Sheehan was warm and friendly during an appearance this afternoon on Randi Rhodes’ program on Air America Radio. The two reminisced about Rhodes’ visit to Camp Casey and their budding friendship. “Did you tell your listeners we’re best friends now and we’re going to terrorize New York City?” Sheehan said to Rhodes.

Rhodes responded by telling a story from her visit to Camp Casey. “I will never forget that night sitting outside under the stars with you,” Rhodes told Sheehan. “It was at one of those wrought-iron tables you see out in lawn-furniture land…Cindy Sheehan drinks Heineken…I was drinking Corona…It was just like five girls, and we were sitting around…All of a sudden, I got a beer, and I put it down, and it went right through the table…”

“My feet were covered with beer,” Sheehan said.

Later, Sheehan summed up her time in Crawford. “I’m so sad to leave,” she said. “I never even envisioned that. I really dread leaving, because it’s been the most amazing transformative experience in my life, and it has really helped me heal with Casey’s death…It really has been an amazing healing experience.”
