(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.
Lactose intolerance, brought on by too many scoops of ice cream in her coffees...
LOL!
Some "fast" she's been on......it's been more caloric laden than a regular diet.
With my luck, probably not. However, there is this thing called 'Cosmic Justice'....:-)
Let's hope it's nothing trivial.
My family jewels don't fit the lockbox ;=)
Haven't been to WRAMC in a while. Foot injury has been cramping my style.
I don't know where you are in Texas, but congrats.
We've had 100 degree days for the last two or three weeks with no relief at night. I can't even walk my dog early or late. It's the worst summer in 3 or 4 years.
Wonder...why Providence?
Now, THAT'S funny!
Both Providence and Hillcrest are in Waco.
God! She'll do anything to stay in the news.
Her buddy McKinney lost and is making an ass out of herself too - go with Cynthia, Cindy!!
Oh, do tell?
Yes, but Providence hospital is closer to Crawford by about 15 minutes.
Hey, you'll get a kick out of this. At the Coffee Shop in Crawford, they had an "Eat In" protest today in support of the troops. They packed the place, sat in air conditioning and ate hamburgers, etc. They said they could keep it up as long as Cindy continues her Sheehanigans.
I do not like her, but; I do not wish death either. I hope she will reach out to HER creator and get some real guidance. Not a person used by the far left. Maybe she will see the errors of her way?
Thanks RF, but I could have lived my entire life without seeing that!
