Cindy Sheehan Arrested At Capitol

ABC News is reporting that Cindy Sheehan was arrested shortly after entering the gallery of the House prior to the dim-wits' speech. WASHINGTON Jan 31, 2006 — Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was taken into custody by police in the House gallery Tuesday night just before President Bush's State of the Union address. Police escorted Sheehan from the visitors' gallery above the House chamber after causing a disruption, said a Capitol Police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the incident were sketchy. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., had invited Sheehan to the address as her guest. I sincerely doubt that Cindy caused any kind of disruption since a spokesman for her stated earlier that she would be respectful since she was a guest of a member of Congress, and Cindy, unlike the guest speaker on the dias tonight keeps her word. In fact the rumour is that when she took off her coat she was wearing a t-shirt with the death count of the soldiers killed in Iraq. This is a disruption? Cindy Sheehan was removed because dim-wit and his cohorts were to damn cowerdly to face her while he spouted his crap about how much everyone should support the troops. Everyone except him that is. The only disruption I can see while watching the dim-wit, is him trying to force feed a pile of bullshit down America's throat. There were two parts of this excercise in the spread of pure crap I found particularly disgusting. First his false and gratuitous remarks about the death of Corretta Scott King and the civil rights movement, and the nerve to even mention the names of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and President Bill Clinton in his address. Looking at the reaction of Sen. Hillary Clinton, she wasn't any more impressed by this stunt than I was.
