WOMAN EATS AGAIN
Cindy Sheehan ends her fast:
Sheehan, 49, was hospitalized after friends picked her up Friday afternoon at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, where she arrived after spending several days in Seattle at the Veterans for Peace convention, said friend Tiffany Burns.
Sheehan, who has been on a liquid diet as part of the nationwide “Troops Home Fast” hunger strike, had been treated and released from a Seattle emergency room Thursday night. On doctors orders, she ate for the first time in about 37 days, Burns said.
But last month:
An embassy official told her he’d get her some face time with Al-Maliki if she moved away from the embassy and ended her hunger strike. “So we moved and ended our fast,” Sheehan told The News’ Ken Bazinet.

The weirdest example of Blair’s Law yet.
Cindy and her married loverCindy Sheehan ends her fast…
‘bout a week or two too soon by my reckoning. Of course that assumes she was on a real fast to begin with. Terri Schiavo was “brain dead” too, unfortuately we had to starve her to death on account of judge’s orders and such. Where’s a judge when you need one?Posted by Vanguard of the Commentariat on 2006 08 12 at 01:42 PM • permalinkAnd then there’s this:
After 28 days of fasting, anti-war hunger strikers received a breakthrough victory for their sacrifice: Leading members of the Iraqi Parliament invited fasters to join them to discuss their plans for peace in Iraq. On Wednesday, August 2, hunger strikers will travel to Amman, Jordan to meet with these Iraqi MPs and break their fast.
The delegation includes: Peace mom Cindy Sheehan, Retired Colonel Ann Wright, Iraq war veteran Geoffrey Millard, Politician/Writer Tom Hayden, and CODEPINK co-founders Medea Benjamin, Jodie Evans, Gael Murphy and Diane Wilson.

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 08 12 at 03:06 PM • permalinkI just don’t get it. Is Sheehan fasting on behalf of humanity and children everywhere and fuzzy cute animals and stuff like that or isn’t she? I mean to say, her fasts seem to last as long as mine. She doesn’t seem to be trying.
I say she stop playing around and start fasting for real. And none of that liquid diet shit. Water, that’s all she gets.

Okay, somebody has to say it. Ewwww!
Posted by Bruce Rheinstein on 2006 08 12 at 06:32 PM • permalink#16, Dear Diary, I’ve done it all for Lew, but I couldn’t lose enough weight to satisfy him; on the contrary, the more I fasted the flabbier I got. That liquid diet of smoothies just wouldn’t do it. Oh, oh, what is a girl to do? And now I have the feeling Lew is cheating on me. The New York Times reporter who follows me around (I think he is coming on to me) tells me his spy, AchMad AchBar, says Lew has spent the last weekend with his wife. I’ve just got to test him out. I’ll have AchMad call an ambualnce and get me to the emergency room. He’ll come, at least he’ll call, I know he will, he loves me, I know it.
You’re all too cynical. It’s obvious she’s a Breatharian.. Like our wonderful Jasmuheen she can survive on cups of tea.
Posted by walterplinge on 2006 08 13 at 02:42 AM • permalink#22. Walter, I did the breatharian thing for about 10 months, and I can tell you all that it’s not a smart path to take.
I did the 3 week fast: 1 week nothing at all, 1 weeks a bit of water and watered down fruit juice, 1 week full strength juice and herbal teas. After that, the diet consisted of water, fruit juice (strained to remove any solid stuff) and soup.
Of course, the soup is all vegetarian, blended and strained, with maybe a bit of sour cream to lighten the energy. lol.
People who had been doing it for years all had icecream as treats, had freezers with buns and cakes and stuff to reward themselves with.
I can see how people died on that initial fast, and I never recommended it to anyone. It was just something I was dumb enough to try in my early 20s.
After 10 months though, I was looking like skeletor, and I really, really wanted a steak.
About the best thing to come out of that short part of my life was my ability to cook soup. Nothing beats my broccoli soup.
Nothing.

She wanted the credit for being a hunger striker, but none of the pain, but now she gets a little pain.
For the record, this is what a hunger strike looks like.
