Sheehan Taken To Emergency Room (8/11/06)
KWTX ^ | 08/11/2006

Posted on 08/11/2006 5:17:43 PM PDT by LA Woman3

(August 11, 2006)—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.

What happened? Did she finally swallow that big foot that's been lodged in her mouth all this time?

My thoughts exactly.

Anyone knows that a liquid fruit smoothie can carry more calories than a regular meal.

Sounds like common sense eating and staying out of the heat could have prevented this. I don't get it, are we supposed to feel sorry for her because she made stupid choices?

She's stressed out over the revelation of her sexual activity with a married man.
Someone here said she betrayed her son,her husband and her country. What next?

Liquified fruit, ice cream, yogurt, yeah, I guess that qualifies as liquid diet, sort of.

We live in the sticks and don't have a Jamba Juice, but we found one in NYC when we were there last month. We went there for dinner! A 16oz drink made a great dinner--very filling!

LOL, everybody but her has the good sense to avoid peak heat. But being air conditioned won't get her any of that attention she so desperately craves. What an idiot.

Can you say "Attention Wh@re"?

Yet again it's all about Cindy. Look at me! Look at me! Don't look at the terrorist plot! Don't look at the war in lebanon! Look at ME!

I guess old saddlebag face doesn't like terrorism and war taking over HER space on the front page.

Sigh.

If I can wait out Bill Clinton, I can wait for her to just finally fade into obscurity.

Does this idiot not know that the HEAT in her new "residence" will kill her fasting, liquids only, anti-war, peacenic butt?? Fasting for 37 days, and standing outside in the 110 in the shade, sweltering Texas heat dosn't make a lot of sense. But then again, its Cindy Sheehan. I loved how Tony Snow reminded her to take plenty of water and gatoraide with her while she sat outside the Ranch. HAHA

And who is paying for her trips over to Jordon and Iraq to meet with the new Parliment??

Nothing more that a publicity move to keep Cindy...whose24yearoldsonCaseydiedinIraq....Sheehan in the news.

I hate the way her son's death has become her middle name.
