Code Pink member collapses in Lieberman’s office

A member of the anti-war group Code Pink who had staged a hunger strike in order to force a meeting with Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) on his stance on Iran collapsed in the senator’s office Thursday.

Leslie Angeline, who had recently traveled to Iran, wanted to discuss the senator’s remarks from earlier this month that indicate he would support a limited air strike on the country.

The 50-year-old woman launched a hunger strike to get a face-to-face meeting with Lieberman but was repeatedly rebuffed, according to Code Pink. However, Lieberman's staff has met with her on the issue.

Angeline was 10 days into her hunger strike and had lived off of clear liquids, according to Code Pink member Medea Benjamin. At one time she was granted a meeting, but the face-to-face was canceled by Lieberman’s office, the group said.

Angeline is being treated for dehydration at George Washington University hospital. Lieberman’s office could not be reached for comment.

If you don’t eat you eventually fall down.

How do you suffer from dehydration if you’re on a liquid diet?

Once again as always, any report about Code Pink should start with;

“Just by showing up, the crowd turned ugly.”

More staged political theater from the left. It has gotten sooooo boring and cliche.

[Calvin Locke]

Maybe it was one of those faux hunger strikes where they take turns skipping a bite once a day?

Personally, you don't want to eat? Why's that my problem?

Rosie O’D or Mikey Moore should go on a hunger strike (just have water, etc.) They could last for months, easily.

STOP USING LOGIC! Sheesh! They’re trying to make the news up for us! :o)

Earthmother Cindy never missed many meals, did she?

Yup.

Hey, Dems, why don't you try convincing others with persuasive, solid, factual ideas instead of bizarre drama? It's much less hazardous to your health.

I burst out laughing at the though of the following conversation:

Code Stink Wh0re: We want to meet with Joe

Joe's Staffer: OK, he'll do it tomm.

Code Stink Wh0re: Goody, I get to stop my liquid fast

Joe's Staffer: pwn3d! Just kidding!

Code Stink Wh0re: {{{...sob...}}}

Joe's Staffer: All Your non-colored liquids are belong to us!

“Angeline is being treated for dehydration at George Washington University hospital.”

I bet she has no health insurance.

How do you suffer from dehydration if you’re on a liquid diet?Maybe she was drinking fruit juice as part of her fluid diet. Mess up your gut and you will put our more fluid than you take in.

[Lurker]

Vodka is a clear liquid. So is gin.

Thank you! I’m scratching my head trying to figure that one out.

The clear liquids must have been from Benjamin’s crocodile tears.

[patton]

Vodka is a clear liqued.

I’d be happy to buy her a cheeseburger if she would answer me one question:

“When you were in Iran, did you insist on speaking to I’madoin’a-jihad concering his continuous remarks about annihilating Israel?”

Heck, I’d throw in a large fry, too.
