Sheehan arrested during anti-war protest

12:51 PM CDT on Monday, September 26, 2005

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who has used her son's death in Iraq to spur the anti-war movement, was arrested Monday while protesting outside the White House.

Sheehan and several dozen other protesters sat down on the sidewalk after marching along the pedestrian walkway on Pennsylvania Avenue. Police warned them three times that they were breaking the law by failing to move along, then began making arrests.

Sheehan was the first taken into custody. She stood up and was led to a police vehicle while protesters chanted, "The whole world is watching."

"The whole world is watching."

Yes, it is. And it thinks you're an idiot, you shrill harpy.

She is loving every minute of the attention. Isn't "going limp" like that equal to resisting arrest?

What's up with the officer's hand? Body cavity search?

What next....will the moonbat storm the gates.

I got this feeling this is going to get out of control and one day one of these moonbats is going to try and hurt our President.

Well .. Cindy was complaining all weekend that she wasn't getting any media coverage .. what better way to get the MSM to pay attention to you than by getting arrested.

This woman is so obsessed with getting attention .. she's gone over the edge.

She looks happy.

It's probably the only time she gets attention.

I believe that they should have left her sit and arrested everyone around her. Keeping her from getting the attention she so craves would have been the best punishment.

I hope that the cop on the left has his shots up to date.

Looks like the cop is protected by heavy gloves. Otherwise the hand gets lost in the depths.

Apparently, this AP reporter hasn't gotten the style-book memo about not pointing out the fact Momma's using her dead kid.
