Sheehan Taken To Emergency Room
2006-08-12
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was being treated Friday evening in the emergency room of Providence Health Center in Waco. Sheehan, who has been on a liquids-only diet for 37 days as part of a fast in protest of the war, was described as being gaunt and pale as she arrived at the hospital. An assistant said Sheehan, who flew to Central Texas after a trip with other activists to Jordan to meet with members of Iraq's new parliament, was being treated for exhaustion.

Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son Casey died in Iraq in 2004 while serving with Fort Hood's 1st Cavalry Division, returned to Central Texas last week, after purchasing a 5-acre tract in the Crawford area. She again took up her vigil in the area of the president's Central Texas ranch, where afternoon temperatures have been at or above the century mark.

#28  My thought exactly ed. She's used to comfortable 70's/80's in the SF Bay area (doesn't she formally reside in Berkley?). Going from what we consider down right chilly here in the South to Crawford, TX is a severe shock to a body (especially one like that, my eyes, my eyes). Upper 90's/low 100's and add in about 250% humidity, and we've actually begun to feel what hell is like down here.

Then it's a clone. a Lew Rockwell clone.

#25  More likely heat exhaustion since she is outside in 100°F (38°C) temperatures with high humidity.
My diagnosis: She's melltttiiinnnggggg!!!

#24  She's 49. Not likely, unless she is giving birth to a cheesecake.

#23  See my comment above, she's heavily pregnant, most probably twins. I wonder how they will name them?

Liquid diet must mean 100% ice cream.

#21  Weird if true... Hum, thinking about it, perhaps she's been rushed to hospital to give birth to his lovechildren, who knows?

Jamba Juice will be there soon.

Nope. Nearest one is about 300 miles away up in Oklahoma.

#11  I blame Bush!

#10  She looked rather, um, well fed in the last pic I saw of her. What's this "gaunt" stuff? Bad protein powder in her last smoothie?

Slightly OT....what's she gonna do on her next "Spreadin' the Hate" tour when she can't bring her liquids on the plane?

#8  "Liquids-only", huh? I'd put her on an emergency diet of chocolate malteds ASAP. Pretty soon she'd need a front-end loader to get around...

#7  I'm sorry but can someone remind me why I should care about this duchebag?
I may have become a bit indifferent to the people outside the U.S.A., that I understand, but for some reason I am conflicted about this,schlemel a U.S. citizen. There is no written rule about love thy American citizen is there? Because I wish she would end up in the same hole with the other non infidel duchebags...
I don't hate america but hate some americans... what a frickin delima.

All I know is the states should have the decision. Federal gov. should only pertain to foreign matters as the states are concerned.

Sorry to be an asp but I can't stand this woman

#3  I question the timing. I think she's trying to distract us from Karl Rove's plot to pretend to blow up planes in order to distract us from Ned Lamont's victory.

#2  Something serious, I hope? We should be so lucky.
