I understand that the House can boot people. As in, they can just flat-out kick her out. Meaning no more Woolsey.

"I'm looking at the pictures"

Right, how hard is it to believe she unzipped her sweater to show her "T" shirt. I find that more believable than she was able to smuggle in a banner.

Deb, there are conflicting reports..READ:

By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP)
- Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was arrested and removed from the House gallery Tuesday night just before President Bush's State of the Union address, a police spokeswoman said.

Sheehan, who had been invited to attend the speech by Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., was charged with demonstrating in the Capitol building, a misdemeanor, said Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider. Sheehan was taken in handcuffs to police headquarters a few blocks away and her case was processed as Bush spoke.

Schneider said Sheehan had worn a T-shirt with an anti-war slogan to the speech and covered it up until she took her seat. Police warned her that such displays were not allowed, but she did not respond, the spokeswoman said.

Police handcuffed Sheehan and removed her from the gallery before Bush arrived. Sheehan was to be released on her own recognizance, Schneider said.

Note that this is an AP report.

"That is the story in the article which started this thread. Why do you claim it's a lie?"

He's just asking. BTW, its both: t-shirt and banner.

Ok, but where in this article do you see banner?
I've read that rumor in other threads but so far this is the only article with a quote from the Capitol Police.

That was "breaking news." Recent events in WV should have taught you not to accept "breaking news" as gospel. Then again, this is AP reporting...

I'm not trying to be an ass here. The article states she had the shirt covered up, hence the black sweater. Then she took it off or unzipped it once she got in. Article matches pic to me. That said, I'll leave it be. Did not mean to be rude.

I thought Sheehan was supposed to be outside banging pots and pans.
