Cindy Sheehan: Fast-Hideous

Cindy Sheehan's "hunger strike" has somehow morphed into a "fast," and as anyone in the USA knows, that could mean anything.

There are water-fasts, juice fasts, and God knows how many other variations. Moreover, a fast ends when Cindy says it ends, while a hunger strike is supposed to go on until the objective is achieved, the striker dies, or is force-fed by The Authorities.

Michelle Malkin has compiled a number of reports that reveal Sheehan's fast isn't even that, just an arbitrary change in her food consumption, as she jets around the world on money whose source has conveniently remained unrevealed.

Malkin's Hot Air site contains a hilarious, must-see video of her personal take on the Sheehan fast. I only hope that Michelle did not get herself an ice-cream-headache in the midst of all the "fasting."
