No matter what the shirt said, did she really believe a t-shirt was appropriate for the State of the Union speech?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Idiot.

[mlc9852]

What ever happened to dressing nicely for such an event? Some people have no class and are apparently proud of it.

---Young's husband found out about the incident after Bush's speech and called it unacceptable.---

Your wife wearing a t-shirt to the State of the Union speech is unacceptable.

[el_texicano]

Some people just have no sense of proper decorum. I can appreciate that she wants to show support to the troops, but a T-Shirt at the SOTU??? Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.

[RoseofTexas]

Well, there goes MUTHER sheeham ejection story! Bawhahaa..I am fairly surprised AP reported this!

[rockabyebaby]

Proper attire is required at a State of the Union address and a T shirt is hardly classified as proper attire, what part doesn't she understand, secondly the T shirt was making a statement and I believe there are rules against making statements whether they be pro or con.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Rep Bill Nelson(R) Florida just told the same story on the House floor about 20 minutes ago. What gives?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

The SOTU is no place for personal declarations and slogans. She should have been removed.

No matter what the shirt said, did she really believe a t-shirt was appropriate for the State of the Union speech?

It was the State of the Union Speech .. not a rally and T-shirts for or against is not the place to wear it

[RexBeach]

Quite right. It's not appropriate and I believe it is against House rules.

How about wearing a nice dress to the SOTU?

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Hilarious. Bump.

[Brilliant]

She was probably thrown out because they felt they had to be even handed, throwing Sheehan out. Either that or the guys who were told to throw out Sheehan were lefties, and they wanted to voice their opinion by throwing out "one of theirs" in retaliation.

[jazusamo]

The actions of Bill Young's wife does not speak well for him. That was in very bad taste.

[popdonnelly]

Just as long as she doesn't try to become a free-speech martyr, like Cindy Sheehan.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Looks like Miss Manners needs to write a piece saying that a T shirt with anything on it is not appropriate to a State of the Union.
Why would anyone wear a T shirt to something this formal and somber is beyond me. Would this woman wear a T shirt to a black tie dinner?
I support the troops I don't support Cindy Sheehan, but crimony folks, stop wearing T shirts as bill boards. Let's have some decorum here. These are the same halls folks like Daniel Webster orated from.

You know, I am constantly amused when the moonbats blame everything on Karl Rove, but...

If you knew Cindy was going to show up, and likely cause a scene, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have somebody show up with a pro-president statement with the intention of being removed also.It would go a long way to diffuse any charges of inconsistency.

Beverly Young may just be taking one for the home team here.

[funkywbr]

She was on one side and Cindy was on the other and BOTH were rightly ejected.

She and Cindy should have LEFT their CHEST bumper stickers outside where they belonged.

[KarlInOhio]

As much as I would love to see her there, it wouldn't be appropriate for even Belly Girl to wear a t-shirt to the State of the Union address.

[beaureguard]

Well, if the moonbat broke the rules with an anti-war T-shirt, then the same rules should apply for pro-war. No messages, either pro or con in the SOTU. Sounds fair to me.

[finnman69]

It was a Karl Rove plot to provide cover to have Cindy Sheehan arrested!
