"The correct move was to remove her."

Update!

Funny, but it turns out that al-Cindy wasn't the other person ejected from the House Gallery last night for wearing a political t-shirt.

From the DNC's Associated Press[excerpted]:

Florida Rep.'s Wife Says She Was Ejected From State Of Union

February 1, 2006

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...

For some odd reason, I don't think we'll be hearing too much about this incident.

Yup, I was hoping some1 would ping Cindy about this. I guess she just got ejected before the Repub.

I'm glad, frankly, that a Repub and woman related to a REPRESENTATIVE was booted. It shows there is no real bias - only against profligate posturing disruptions. T-shirts do not show respect for the matter at hand - much less T-shirts w/big advertizing statements.

Rush mentioned this very type of thing when he started today. That as a boy he had his brochures taken from him when he started rifling thru them in the balcony watching over a regular session of Congress!

They demand respect in the government building, that's all.
