Polygamist leader Jeffs in critical condition after fast, authorities say
Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs was in critical condition in a Texas hospital Monday after falling ill during a fast, state prison officials said.

*

Jason Clark, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, said Jeffs was sent to a hospital in Tyler on Sunday night and was in critical but stable condition Monday.

"He was not eating or drinking enough fluids and also has some other medical conditions," Clark said without elaborating, citing inmate privacy rules.

Jeffs told prison officials he was not on a hunger strike but that he had been "fasting," Clark said.

6. Tough.
Full of self-hatred and can't deal with being knocked down from his sordid little pedestal.

9. Yeah he's fasting alright
he's got a lot of atoning to do before he kicks the bucket, and he's almost out of time. Little does he realize it's too fucking late and he's doing it all wrong anyway.

He's about to get a lesson in unwanted sexual contact. And NOW he has some level of empathy for the fear that little 12 year old girls were feeling? To damn late.

10. This sounds like B.S.
My guess is Jeff's is working with some paid off corrections people for a "get out of jail free" card. Probably planning to get together with fellow "deceased" Texan Ken Lay somewhere.
