Cindy Sheehan: Hospital stay won't stop me (photos)
Yahoo! News ^ | 8/12/06 | Angela K Brown

Peace mom Cindy Sheehan spent the night in a hospital for a gynecological procedure and treatment of dehydration but said Saturday that wouldn't stop her protest against the Iraq war on land she bought near President Bush's Crawford ranch.

Sheehan was listed in stable condition at Providence Health Center in Waco, about 20 miles east of Crawford.

She said she could be released later in the day but probably would miss an afternoon barbecue at Camp Casey, the protesters' campsite named for her soldier son who was killed in Iraq in 2004.

"Everything will still go on," Sheehan, 49, told The Associated Press. "I hope I can get there soon."

The anti-war demonstration is to continue through Sept. 3, although Bush's 10-day ranch vacation is to end Sunday.

Sheehan returned to Texas on Friday after a few days in Seattle at the Veterans for Peace convention. She planned to resume the war protest she started Aug. 6, the first anniversary of the beginning of her 26-day peace vigil that drew thousands of anti-war demonstrators and spurred counter demonstrations by Bush supporters.

Instead, friends took her from the airport to the hospital. After being on a liquid diet as part of the nationwide "Troops Home Fast" hunger strike, Sheehan had been treated at a Seattle emergency room Thursday, and ate for the first time in about 37 days, said her spokeswoman Tiffany Burns.

Too bad she didn't collapse in Holland. They might have euthenized her.

Why does the press keep harping on her gynecological procedure? I mean, really! There is no way the hospital can release that information without the consent of the patient. What, is that codeword for an abortion or something? Is that why she has her publicity people trumpet it in every story about her stay? Is she warming up for a cameo at the Monologues? Or is it just a pathetic plea for continued victimhood status?

She's 49 - gyn procedure may be code word for menopause. I can't figure out why anyone cares...but damn, she should stay out of the Texas sun, she looks 59.

There are a lot of people in this country who love "martyrs." These are the same ones who consider Oprah and Jerry Springer excellent sources of news and information.

The first photo shows her holding "Casey's" flag... I have no way of knowing it is the one that was presented to her at his funeral.

But, I do find it disturbing that the flag appears to be soiled. She shows no respect. Not a surprise, I'm afraid.
