Knaves: Cindy Sheehan, whose "Troops Home Fast" ended rather fast. On July 4, Mrs. Sheehan pledged herself to a hunger strike that would last until September to protest the Iraq war. The usual Hollywood lefties like Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon joined in — well, not really. Their fast consisted of a one-day hunger strike which they would then "pass on" to the next person. Anyway, it turns out fasting is really quite a grueling practice. Who knew? On Day 6, Mrs. Sheehan wrote the following update on a blog: "I find traveling out of the country very challenging being on a fast. When I was on a layover in Madrid on my way to Venice, Italy, yesterday, the closest thing I could find to a smoothie to get a little protein was a coffee with vanilla ice cream in it." So, now drinking smoothies — not to mention coffee with ice cream — qualifies as fasting? She continues: "However, there is not a Jamba Juice on every corner, so blended juice drinks with protein powder are impossible to find." Indeed, that was Gandhi's biggest complaint as well. For exposing the vapidity of the celebrity left, Mrs. Sheehan is the Knave of the week.
