Reuters Additional Information
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Police at the U.S. Capitol arrested anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on Tuesday, shortly before President Bush was to give his annual State of the Union speech, a police spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman, Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, said she had no immediate details.
Sheehan had been invited to be a guest at the address to a joint session of Congress by U.S. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, a California Democrat.
Sheehan, who became a central figure for the U.S. anti-war movement after her soldier son Casey was killed in the Iraq war, won wide attention with an anti-war vigil outside Bush's Texas ranch.
CNN said Sheehan was arrested after unveiling a banner and was being held on Capitol Hill for about an hour, which would keep her away from the address, which was set to start at 9 p.m. EST.
Sheehan and other activists were arrested in September for protesting outside the White House without a permit, a misdemeanor that carriers a $50 fine.

A newsroom type shares notes:
This from Sgt. Kimberly Schneider of U-S Capitol Police.... Cindy Sheehan was arrested in the gallery of the house floor tonight and charged with demonstrating in the Capitol--a misdemeanor. ...Sgt. Schneider says she was wearing a T-shirt with a slogan on it and was asked to cover it up. Sheehan did not cover it up and she was arrested. ....She is being processed at Capital Police hd and is expected to be released at some point tonight. The misdemeanor charge carries one year in jail. .."
I hope that picture is altered. Whether it is or not she is one butt ugly woman. In the photo she looks like Jimmy Durante in drag.
I missed it......dang !
Was it accurate enough to look for the rerun ?
I'll check back in tomorrow I am off to the salt mine now !
Stya safe !
Bingo.
Every once in a blue moon, a few rational people bubble up to the surface over there. Then they are exiled.

now, she could be just pretending to be a total dimwit. it could be part of her cover story, if she has one, which we cannot and do not know one way or the other. just saying. just bear in mind that she has never been publicly identified as, nor has anyone ever publicly accused her of being, a covert agent assigned to infiltrate the antiwar movement. we just can't know, can we?
Yes...watch it.
I too am wondering how the pots and pans protest went outside the Capitol.
She will have to wait until we affirm the 51'st state, The State of ME.

Woolsey Supports Censure and Investigation into Impeachment
Submitted by David at Woolse... on Thu, 2006-01-12 18:19. News from Lynn
Congresswoman Woolsey is one of the first seven Members of Congress to co-sponsor Congressman John Conyers' three bills to censure Bush, censure Cheney, and create a select committee to investigate their crimes and make recommendations on impeachment.
Why on earth would you want to do this to THEM! They are on OUR side!

They did not show it happening on FOX. Maybe they filmed her arrest on another network.....just don't know. I figured it would have been impossible for her to be showing any kind of respect! She will certainly help to bring the DEMS down!! :)
I got on, it just took a while to load. Was going to leave a message about her "guest," but didn't feel like lying about being a California constituent.
BUMP
You have my vote for understatement of the year!
wow, i don't remember seeing her on Hee Haw!
My pleasure AGreatPer. :)
