I can't believe I couldn't get a ticket cause of these loons. Their posters were plastered all over the Downtown Mall yesterday. That, and they have no shame: whatever their disagreement with President Bush, disrupting a naturalization ceremony is just plain wrong.

Though signs were listed among the prohibited items, Northern Virginia resident Gael Murphy and others sporting the signature pink t-shirts of feminist anti-war group Code Pink managed to unfurl pink textile signs reading "Impeach Bush." The President was 10 seconds into his speech, mentioning that he was "thrilled to be here at Monticello," when Murphy sprang from her seat, repeatedly shouting, "Defend the constitution, Impeach Bush!"
It was not an unanticipated moment and Bush said, "To my fellow citizens-to-be, we believe in free speech in the United States of America."
More protesters jumped up, shouting about the "police state" and "fascism." One simply said, "F*** you, George Bush."
Wayne Mogielnicki, Monticello's spokesman, said the plan of action was to ask protesters to be quiet and sit back down. If they did not comply, then they would be asked to leave. Ultimately six got that request and they left without incident, perhaps to join the several dozen who were by the Monticello Visitor Center on Route 20 bearing signs and Uncle Sam outfits.
