WASHINGTON - 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.

why would any US Representative invite someone to this speech after they have been schmoozing in Venezuala with someone clearly at odds with our country

I guess she was trying to put up some banner or something and they nabbed her.

lol anyone who is propogating this lady's misery should be sued by Eddie Haskill for malpractice

I was wrong. It was a t-shirt she had on talking about the 2245 dead. They said she had to cover it up or change it and she didn't want to. And there we go....

 

[smurphy]

they should have let her stay. i don't know what they are afraid of. she's not going to change anyone's mind.

is someone going to read her tee shirt when the camera gleens past her sitting behind gary coleman and suddenly go "hey - she's right - people are dying and i'm not gonna stand for it anymore"?

 

[dr. freeze]

do we really want the State of the Union address filled with wacko activists from either side of the aisle?

Do we really want some fat, unkempt dude up there with a sign that says "God hates ___s"

 

[smurphy]

ehh, why not? we're just in denial otherwise. it's such a worthless fluff speech anyway.

 

[dr. freeze]

because the Presidency, the State of the Union, Congress, the floor of the Capitol all deserve reverence

why dont they just let her in the White House to harass us all every time there is a news conference

geez, enough already

I remember this story locally....

excerpt from Wikipedia....
""""Woolsey is very controversial as the result of an incident of her defending a rapist. In July of 2003, a man named Stewart Pearson soaked a rag in toilet bowl cleanser and Ajax and used it to smother 17-year-old Tina Phan while she was sleeping in her Terra Linda, California home. Phan tried to fend off Pearson, but he wielded a knife and overpowered her. Pearson raped and brutalized Phan. Pearson told Phan he had committed the same crime before and planned to do it again. Phan pressed charges against Pearson and he admitted guilt in the fall of 2003.

Woolsey attempted to intervene in the case by using her official stationery to send a letter to the local presiding judge in support of the convicted rapist. Woolsey wrote: "Stewart Pearson is a young man from a supportive family. I believe he has a promising life ahead of him, and I urge you to consider these factors when deciding on a suitable sentence." Woolsey noted further that Pearson had volunteered for her campaign. The judge in the case ignored Woolsey and sentenced Pearson to eight years in prison, the maximum allowed under a plea bargain. The House Ethics Committee later probed whether Woolsey intervened inappropriately"""

She should have taken Stewart Pearson instead.

I give proper reverence when the man in charge does the same for the English language.

Good grief. Ever heard of "dialect"

Did you think the same thing when Clinton said "Ah" instead of "I"

seems a little SELECTIVE anal-retentiveness to me

 

[smurphy]

i know lots of hicks who can say nuclear without losing their dialect. given the importance of the word - especially these days - it's not much to ask that he learn to say it correctly.

 

[dr. freeze]

i know lots of very intelligent Texans who pronounce it nukular

Not that Bush is very intelligent, but I think you are being selectively anal-retentive to pounce on him for this -- especially to the degree that you say

I don't think anyone lost reverence for Clinton because he cannot refer to himself in the 1st person with correct pronounciation...certainly in this day and age, one as yourself would expect such an important and common word as "I" to be said coherently?

 

[gardenweasel]

yeah...cindy got the hook....i read that it was a couple of diane feinstein`s aides that drug her out......

seriously folks...(rimshot)....

random thoughts...

1)..i thought that cheney and hastert looked like two little wrinkled twinkies...... they need to coordinate their outfits next time so they aren't wearing the same colors......

2)... i counted 4 "nuculars"...

3)...i noticed shrillary shaking her head and rolling her eyes when bush cracked about two of g.w. sr.`s favorite people turning 60(bill and the pres).....
i wonder which one she`s more disgusted with?......."you know what i`m talking aboutl"......

4)...i just purchased 1`000 shares of "switch grass".................................................

5)i noticed a pile of doody beneath the arab guy`s robe immediately after bush said..."
"we will cut our dependence on middle eastern oil 75% by 2025"

6)no cloning?.......why?...we already have human/ animal hybrids...(manimal....the elephant man...mike-al moore)....


7)...when they make the "cindy sheehan movie"....as hollywood inevitably will do.....

who will play her....now that bob denver is dead? .....

(preemptive strike)..."smurph...calm down,bud"...

 

[smurphy]

dude - calm down over what? that was hyserical! you must have gotten together with dtb and nosigar and have a plan for the times demise. i sense an air of calm satisfatcion around you --- one that only comes from a man who knows he's on the right side of a beatiful, diabolic plan.

....either that or some fine weed is in your system.

This site has been overdue for a good 'Manimal' reference for a while now.

i'm just bustin his balls. ....or hillary's balls. someone's balls anyway.

perhaps it's actually much more anally retentive on your part to get your panties in a wad over a little ball busting for the president of the united states of america when he sounds like a high school dropout.

he talks like that, he should expect a cringe from every intelligent person every time......

good god, my typing is getting more and more like weasel every day......
