Jan 25 Coleen Rowley: A Shoe Bomber of a Different Sort?

Coleen Rowley, hailed FBI whistleblower and failed candidate for John Kline's congressional seat, is finding a more comfortable position as a direct-action Code Pink activist. Her article in  the Huffington Post Sunday reveals her latest creative way to send a non-violent message: "throwing shoes" at the President a la al-Zaidi:

Twenty-five "Minnesotans for Peace" (including myself) are setting off today for Washington D.C. where we plan to exercise our First Amendment right to "Peaceable Assembly" (before the Supreme Court and the corporations take that right away). We will also exercise our throwing arms a little, too, as we deliver our message in less conventional ways along with other Creative Voices for Non-Violence. We may even take a cue from Muntazer al-Zaidi and throw our peace shoes at the White House!

Rowley seems to enjoy discovering her inner street theater thespian and craft artist:

Of course we'll also be busy with more conventional meetings with our elected congresspersons and Minnesota Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, pleading with them to take more active roles. (It does not appear that Congress has even declared war, as the Constitution requires.) We'll each be carrying tombstones with the names of Minnesotans killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. We've dripped red paint to look like blood and hand-stenciled our group t-shirts.

And to think this Time magazine Person of the Year might have been a lawmaker in the U.S. Congress. She ran as an "Agent for Change" in 2006, when voters in John Klines' 2nd District saw her behavior and dubbed her "Agent for Strange."

Goodbye Cindy Sheahan, hello Coleen Rowley - the latest tool of the anti-war left.
