“I guess she learned this childish tactic from her kids,” countered David Almasi, executive director of the conservative National Center for Public Policy Research.”What’s next? Holding her breath until her face turns blue? Lawmakers should not be intimidated into action by force, graft or inane publicity stunts,” Almasi told Cybercast News Service.
…well…at least America’s Twinkies are safe for the time being.
There was a time when Americans marched and protested with respect, honor, and integrity. Today, we get Code Pink and in general a carnival-like atmosphere rather than a Martin Luther King march. This is a sad story though. These people actually believe in the articles of impeachment that Congressman Kucinich put forward a few weeks ago.
Has anyone read them?
I took the time over the weekend. There are three articles. The first one basically says that Vice President Cheney pressured intelligence analysts and manipulated their results regarding Saddam’s WMD in such a way as to trick Congress into invading Iraq. The second says the same thing, but in regards to ties between Saddam’s regime and Al Queda. The third and final article of impeachment says that Vice President Cheney committed high crimes and misdemeanors by threatening Iran.
Ok, the first and second, we can (and will) debate further later on this week. The third is my favorite. According to Congressman Kucinich’s logic (and the logic of those who support his impeachment efforts), Vice President Cheney violated the Constitution by making threatening statements towards Iran, and this is a direct breach of the United Nations charter which the U.S. signed, and since the Constitution says the U.S. is bound by law to the treaties it signs…well, you get it. Talk tough to another nation, or make it clear that the military option is on the table, and you are breaking the rules of the UN=breaking the US law=impeachable offense. Got that? Vice President Cheney should be removed from office for speaking his mind (man, what happens if he goes hunting with someone from Iran?!).
Meanwhile, back here in the sane world…we get the ladies of Code Pink going on hunger strike until VP Cheney is removed from office for talking tough. Perhaps there’s something in the pink coloring?
OMIGOD MY EYES. . . . . MY EYES! Arrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh
Hmmm. Fairly grotesque specimen there. Maybe someone on the right can do a study to try to see whether conservatives are better looking than liberals (after adjusting for age). Meanwhile someone on the left can write a thesis on the use of ugly images like this as a propaganda tool…
Is that her belly beneath the hem?!!!???
there oughta be a law.
The Pinkies quit the twinkies
Oh! Good Lord!
Putting pictures of Rosie O’MyGodIt’sAnAllYouCanEatBuffet up without fair warning is just not right.
You could at least tuck that in beneath the fold or something. Of course, it would have been nice of her to wear a longer MuMu too.
Here it is right near dinner time and I come across that pic with no cautionary statement.
Shudder.
Whoever is responsible for this should be ashamed of themselves.
At least we know that this chick has a lot to fall back on while she’s going hungry.
Could you pass the eye bleach now please?
C’mon everyone. Be serious. This woman is clearly committed to starving herself until Vice President Cheney is impeached for violating the rules of the United Nations.
She’s gone on a hunger strike for peace.
never the less, she’s a citizen and she has that right.
Anyone familiar with the idea behind Code pink? It’s about an Aeschelus play where the Athenian (maybe Theban?) women refuse to sleep with the men folk until they end the war! Or was that to kill them…I forget.
“Or was that to kill them…I forget.”
With her as an example, ther would be no way to tell.
And just to be fair–_I_ and seriously obese!

I’m curious, how does one make the correlation?
IF I STARVE MYSELF
then
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL AGREE TO MY POLITICAL DEMANDS
Why not,
IF I DON’T PAY MY TAXES
then
THE GOVERNMENT WILL SUBMIT TO MY POLITICAL DEMANDS
Just seems odd to me that they-wait….I’m sorry, “odd” and “Code Pink” are synonyms
My bad.
My God! Is that actually possible? That is sooooo gross!
“Or was that to kill them…I forget.”
With her as an example, ther would be no way to tell.
Precisely my point.
“She’s gone on a hunger strike for peace.
never the less, she’s a citizen and she has that right”
The muther of Casey Sheehan has frequently ‘fasted for peace’ – as is her right. Except following the ‘fasting’ rules tends to put weight on people…

I really feel sorry for that poor women. No wonder she is with code pink, its a way to socialize, can’t see her getting out or around much except for protests. I’m very serious I pray for her.
Scott, if you’re interested, here the link for the story on Code-Pinko fasting for impeachment.

I will be politically correct and say she is up-armored.
When I first read the sign, I though it said “Peace takes breaks.” From the likes of her, Peace takes lots of breaks.
She looks like the first human which can breed using mitosis.
I think she joined Code Twinkee, before she joined the Code Pink diet plan (see Zip’s link).
This web site is a lot better when it sticks to issues rather than making fun of some one for their physical appearance.
Great idea CentFla, please…what are your thoughts on the text of the piece rather than the picture?
I think it is a piece describing a tiny fringe group undertaking a stupid fringe agenda that is only being discussed because of the individual appearances that make up that tiny fringe.
The story is boring, the jabs at a person’s physical appearance are abhorant to me and caused my response.
Good points CF. Thank you. I wonder, what makes CODE PINK a fringe group, and not ANSWER, or MoveOn, or the myriad of groups that protest against the war in a carnival-like atmosphere? Are all these people fringe, and if so does that mean that their influence on the Democratic Party means the party is heavily influenced by the fringe?
I just lost my appetite — forget lunch!
