(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.

Some of that Jordanian quick step, probably,
or too many goat eyeball milkshakes.

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?
To: King Moonracer
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!
To: LA Woman3
Karl Rove poisoned her Jamba Juice, I bet.
