Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan's was arrested at Tuesday night's State of the Union address after she refused to yield to warnings from Capitol Hill police to cover up an anti-war T-shirt she was wearing underneath her coat.
Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider told the Associated Press that Sheehan kept the anti-war slogan covered until she took her seat. When they noticed her politically charged attire, police warned Sheehan that such displays were not allowed.
The celebrated anti-war protester ignored the warnings, police said.
Police handcuffed Sheehan and escorted her from the gallery about 15 minutes before the president arrived.

If only she'd fired a few rounds near the Capital. Then we wouldn't have to deal with her crap anymore.
I mean "Capitol."
You're so right. Only in America could someone enjoy such freedom to dissent like this, again and again.
If she had pulled this stunt at one of Saddam Hussein's speeches, they would have taken her straight to the wood chipper.
This makes at least two. Last time was in September.
Well until I can get that visual out of head I may as well forget about hitting the sack tonight.
Not to change the subject, but it's funny you wrote that about Calif. being the "Land of the fruits and nuts"! I was watching a movie that came out about "The Three Stooges" a few weeks ago.
There was a scene in it where the Stooges and their wives/girlfriends were riding out to Calif. from the East Coast (NY, I believe?). Anyway, it was said in the movie that they were heading out with the hopes of getting into the movies.
They were riding in a big car together, looking at the sights, and people. One of them cracked a joke. It went something like: "There they were, in the "land of fruits and nuts" (not exact quote). And this was in what, the 20s and 30s? It was a long time ago anyway.
But I sat there watching that, and it cracked me up! I didn't know that they referred to it that way back then!
LOL! I never remember the 3 stooges referring to CA that way...... hmmmmmm. :)
no doubt at all about that!
A message t-shirt is enough to get a kid sent home from public school and cindy's complaining about getting kicked out of the SOTU speech?
Kaine is the Governor of Maryland and he gave the Dem response. Apparently, it was a non-response. I turned the channel after the President finished and 'missed' the non-response. It seems it was worth watching.
