Reuters Additional Information

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Police at the U.S. Capitol arrested anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on Tuesday, shortly before President Bush was to give his annual State of the Union speech, a police spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman, Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, said she had no immediate details.

Sheehan had been invited to be a guest at the address to a joint session of Congress by U.S. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, a California Democrat.

Sheehan, who became a central figure for the U.S. anti-war movement after her soldier son Casey was killed in the Iraq war, won wide attention with an anti-war vigil outside Bush's Texas ranch.

CNN said Sheehan was arrested after unveiling a banner and was being held on Capitol Hill for about an hour, which would keep her away from the address, which was set to start at 9 p.m. EST.

Sheehan and other activists were arrested in September for protesting outside the White House without a permit, a misdemeanor that carriers a $50 fine.

I hope that picture is altered. Whether it is or not she is one butt ugly woman. In the photo she looks like Jimmy Durante in drag.

Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who died passionately defending the concept of freedom and liberation, retrivialized the anti-war movement with her blatant disregard for everything her son stood for.

Bingo.

Every once in a blue moon, a few rational people bubble up to the surface over there. Then they are exiled.



If anyone there is rational, it is likely a Freeper on a combat mission!

Things is, that story got a HUGE laugh from her useful idiot audience that it clearly wasn't supposed to. But even that flew right by her.

now, she could be just pretending to be a total dimwit. it could be part of her cover story, if she has one, which we cannot and do not know one way or the other. just saying. just bear in mind that she has never been publicly identified as, nor has anyone ever publicly accused her of being, a covert agent assigned to infiltrate the antiwar movement. we just can't know, can we?

Excellent #439 post. Thank You.

I too am wondering how the pots and pans protest went outside the Capitol.

But but but, she's a wannabe senator.

She will have to wait until we affirm the 51'st state, The State of ME.

They did not show it happening on FOX. Maybe they filmed her arrest on another network.....just don't know. I figured it would have been impossible for her to be showing any kind of respect! She will certainly help to bring the DEMS down!! :)

I got on, it just took a while to load. Was going to leave a message about her "guest," but didn't feel like lying about being a California constituent.
