Good catch! Good work as always.

This was just picked up by Michelle Malkin at her excellent blog.

HOW MOONBATS FAST
By Michelle Malkin   ·   July 11, 2006 12:01 AM

Remember Cindy Sheehan's "hunger strike?" Remember I asked whether she would last longer than Saddam Hussein?

Well...

Kristinn Taylor at F/R points to Cindy's latest blog entry on her, uh, progress (also posted at the Crawford Peace House site):

I find traveling out of the country very challenging being on a fast. When I was on a layover in Madrid on my way to Venice, Italy yesterday, the closest thing I could find to a smoothie to get a little protein was a coffee with vanilla ice cream in it. Traveling for 22 hours is very taxing under normal circumstances--but then again, when have we had normal circumstances since the 2000 and 2004 successful coup attempts that have brought BushCo into power?

I traveled from Venice to the frontier of Italy to the province of Udine which is right at the foot of the pre-Alps. I am here for a huge youth festival which includes many elements of social justice and peace work. It is beautiful and the air feels different from other places that I have travelled. It is strangely soft and gentle as is the natural light. However, there is not a Jamba Juice on every corner, so blended juice drinks with protein powder are impossible to find.

Smoothies. Coffee. Vanilla Ice Cream. How much weight does she plan on gaining during this deprivation campaign?

Thanks. I'd love to be a fly on the wall as Cindy's handlers try to figure out how to dig her out of this PR fiasco.
