Sheehan screaming police brutality carries with it about as much weight as calling herself a 'grieving mother'. She could use some lessons from Nancy Pelosi – the one in the red suit sticking as close to the President as she could as he made his way to the podium last night. Both women are ‘stuck on stupid’. Sheehan is going to go berserk/go postal one of these days – she is totally insane and it won’t take much to push her over………
The congresswoman who gave her the tickets needs to be repremanded, and it needs to be more than just a verbal repremand. She should also be called up on ethics charges.
Cindy Sheehan IS a muscle spasm!
They should have thrown her over the railing, along with the nutcase that invited her.
These people, (Kennedy, Kerry, Sheehan etc. ) are so intertaining.
This martyrdom of Cindy Sheehan has become a truly tiresome piece of melodrama. She and Woolsey are both idiots for thinking they could get away with this.
In a way, I wish she had been let in and the whole world would see what Bush has to put up with everyday.
While I understand that politics is a rough and tumble arena, it saddens me that areas such as the Capitol Building are now becoming sites for grandstanding stunts. The Democratic congressmen who invited Cindy Sheehan to the State of the Union were certain that she was going to create a scene.
I hope that the party leaders review the events that led up to this disgraceful act and take action to prevent it from happening again.
It's hardly appropriate (not to mention, illegal) for a disgruntled citizen to use the inside of the Capitol for protests, there are areas in Washington set aside for just that purpose. But it's quite another when the protester is there to interrupt an invited guest, the President, with the complicity of members of Congress.
The Democratic Party should be ashamed.
Of course, we all know they have no shame.
If the police had any sense, they had a camera on her at all times anticipating her Michael Jackson-like bogus claim of police brutality.
God bless you, Glenn.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The wife of Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-Indian Shores, told a newspaper that she was ejected during the State of the Union address for wearing a T-shirt that says, "Support the Troops Defending Our Freedom."
Beverly Young told the St. Petersburg Times that she was sitting in the front row of the House gallery Tuesday night when she was approached by someone who told her she needed to leave.
She said she reluctantly agreed, but argued with several officers in an outside hallway.
In a telephone interview with the newspaper, Young said she told them her shirt wasn't a protest but a message of support.
Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said Young wasn't ejected from the gallery and she left on her own. She couldn't provide additional details.
Young's husband found out about the incident after Bush's speech and called it unacceptable. AND
FLASHBACK: Man Wearing Anti-Clinton T-Shirt Removed from Senate Gallery at Impeachment Trial
Wed Feb 01 2006 08:47:08 ET
Cindy Sheehan, the anti-war activist who was removed from the House gallery last night before the State of the Union address for wearing a t-shirt with a political message, is not the first person to be tossed from a Congressional gallery at a high-profile event for wearing a political t-shirt.
In the early days of the Senate's impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton in January 1999, a Pennsylvania man named Dave Delp was removed by the Capitol police from the Senate gallery for wearing a t-shirt that said, "Clinton doesn't inhale, he sucks."
The Pennsylvania school teacher was yanked out of a VIP Senate gallery and briefly detained last week during the impeachment trial for wearing a T-shirt with graphic language dissing President Clinton.
Delp, 42, of Carlisle, Pa., and a friend had just settled into their seats when four Capitol security guards approached them. Delp said at the time that he was ordered to button his coat and follow the guards. Outside the chamber, he was told "several people felt threatened by your shirt."
Even after establishing that Delp was a guest of Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), the guards wouldn't let him back in and escorted him to a basement security area, where they questioned and photographed him.
After being given one of the photos as a souvenir, Delp said he was banned from the Capitol for the rest of the day. "They were polite and professional," Delp added, "but they really did scare me. I think I should have been given the chance to cover up."
...it is hard to think straight."
Cindy, darlin', if you don't think too good, don't think too much.
Brutal.
She was beaten so bad the ugly stick broke.
Please go to foxnews.com and link to Greta's site so you can tell her how you feel about Cindy's arrest.
Police also removed a Congressional wife wearing a pro-troops shirt:
