The Cindy Sheehan matter: What would Jesus do?

Cindy Sheehan's vigil continues outside George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. This mother of a fallen soldier simpy wants a few minutes of Bush's time, and an explanation of his "noble cause" that her son died for.

But Bush refuses to meet with her. In fact, on Friday, Bush's motorcade rushed right past Cindy and her supporters without stopping. Cindy was holding a sign that read: "Why do you make time for donors and not for me?" [Read story.]

Bush calls himself a devout Christian, and tells the press that Jesus is his favorite philosopher. But would Jesus cruise by and ignore a grieving mother? Or would he stop and comfort her?

Talk is cheap, George.
