Nutcase Cindy Sheehan Arrested at Capitol

Yes, ladies and gentleman, one of our pathetic politicians on the Cut and Run side (Democrat) Rep. Lynn Woolsey, had the brilliance to invite Nutcase Cindy Sheehan to be their guest at the State of the Union Address! How pathetic! But leave it to the Democrats to be so tacky as to invite the very woman who was rubbing elbows with Hugo Chavez days ago! Oh and how could I forget she didn’t waste any time before getting arrested moments before the President was to give his State of the Union Address.

Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was taken into custody by police in the House gallery Tuesday night just before President Bush’s State of the Union address.

Police escorted Sheehan from the visitors’ gallery above the House chamber after causing a disruption, said a Capitol Police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the incident were sketchy.

Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., had invited Sheehan to the address as her guest.

Update: Sheehan had received a House gallery pass to attend the speech as a guest of San Francisco Democrat Lynn Woolsey, whose spokesman told reporters that protesting Peace Mom had promised to remain respectful and not cause any disruptions while the president spoke.

“Peace Mom” Cindy Sheehan’s was arrested at Tuesday night’s State of the Union address after she refused to yield to warnings from Capitol Hill police to cover up an anti-war T-shirt she was wearing underneath her coat.

Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider told the Associated Press that Sheehan kept the anti-war slogan covered until she took her seat. When they noticed her politically charged attire, police warned Sheehan that such displays were not allowed.

The celebrated anti-war protester ignored the warnings, police said.

Police handcuffed Sheehan and escorted her from the gallery about 15 minutes before the president arrived.
