so last night before the state of the union address, cindy sheehan–who was an invited guest–was arrested for wearing a t-shirt in the house gallery that said, “2,245 Dead — How Many More?” so i understand that when delivering the state of the union before a joint session of congress that you can’t have people in the gallery protesting.
i’m just saying that if i’m cindy sheehan, i keep my jacket on until the president gets about two lines into his speech, then i peel it off and let all the world focus in on my message. apparently, another woman was removed from the gallery for wearing a t-shirt that had a message about supporting our troops. it would appear that the policy of “no protesting statments” was upheld.
but if cindy sheehan hadn’t been arrested mere moments earlier, do you really think congressman young’s wife would have been removed from the house gallery?
yeah. me neither.
you can read a more grammatically correct version of the story here.
UPDATE: Sheehan blogs about the whole incident here.
