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.

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!

Hmmm... you're onto something. Interesting timing of this Sheehan ER visit and press release...

Oh I would have loved to be there and join them. We went down there last year and had planned to go again this time, even bought a huge flag and very thick poster board for signs for the occasion but couldn't make it. She really is the worst piece of trash I've ever set eyes on.

Rumor has it, says Joe Wilson, Karl Rove is behind Susan's mysterious death as well as Cindy's recent malady.

OR! Could Lew Rockwell and George Costanza be the SAME PERSON? Hmmm? Have you ever seen Lew and George together at the same time?

I was thinking the same thing about the timing.
Didn't Katrina take the focus off of her last year?

And now this.
I think it's going to take more than a trip to the ER to take the world's focus of this latest terrorist plot.

"That's gross. Sheehan looks like a man."

Now tell me, where did you see a man that looks like that?
I've never before seen anything that looks like this woman.

That doesn't work with people like that.

Me too because I live north of Dallas and we have had over 25 days of 100+ temps with no end in sight. And no rain either.

nor would I shed one tear at waking up tomorrow morning and seeing her obituary

Second that. Your entire post was masterfully written and I agree 1,000%. This woman has caused uncalculated harm to our country all in the name of free speech (during a time of war).

Sheehan hospitalized in Waco for dehydration

Saturday, August 12, 2006

By Fred Afflerbach
Tribune-Herald staff writer

Activist Cindy Sheehan was hospitalized in Waco on Friday for dehydration and exhaustion, her assistant said, but she is expected to be released today.

A Providence Health Center nursing supervisor said that she hadn’t received a report from Sheehan’s physician Friday night but that Sheehan was likely in stable condition.

Sheehan went to an emergency room in Seattle on Thursday for dehydration after she spoke at the Veterans for Peace national convention, said Tiffany Burns, an activist leader and Sheehan’s assistant.

Sheehan also had been experiencing heavy bleeding, so Waco doctors performed a dilation and curettage, in which the lining of the uterus is scraped, and were doing a biopsy, Sheehan’s sister, Dede Miller, told the Associated Press.

“I’m worried, but I know this is a pretty common procedure,” Miller told the AP.

Sheehan was expected to be in Crawford on Friday for a protest march but checked herself in to Providence on the advice of doctors. She has recently been on an all-liquid diet, with the goal of fasting until World Peace Day next month.

Burns said she expected Sheehan to remain at Providence overnight Friday.

afternoon temperatures have been at or above the century mark.

I dont know if its a TX thing or not, but all of the weather forcasters in TX use the term century mark instead of just saying 100.

I suppose saying century mark gives them gravitas
