HOLY CRAP! CINDY SEAHAG IS ALIVE???

Wow. I'll bet her escape from the Venezuelan Gulag would make a great After School Special.

Stuffed Shirt

Has Democrat Cindy Sheehan won the support of wine-country Rep. Lynn Woolsey in Sheehan's prospective challenge to unseat Sen. Dianne Feinstein? That isn't clear, but Woolsey invited Sheehan to the State of the Union as her guest. Sheehan did not stay for the speech, however; as the Associated Press reports, she was "arrested and removed from the House gallery" just before the speech:

Sheehan . . . was charged with demonstrating in the Capitol building, said Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider. The charge was later changed to unlawful conduct, Schneider said. Both charges are misdemeanors.

Schneider said Sheehan had worn a T-shirt with an anti-war slogan to the speech and covered it up until she took her seat. Police warned her that such displays were not allowed, but she did not respond, the spokeswoman said.

No doubt this will fuel the Angry Left's paranoid antigovernment delusions about suppression of dissent. Indeed, the San Francisco Chronicle quotes Rep. Fortney Hillman Stark Jr. as saying. "I'm still trying to find out why the president's Gestapo had to arrest Cindy Sheehan in the gallery."

Actually, that's Hitlery Clinton's Gestapo. But more importantly, Congressthingee Jr. is going to have to do something about its over-long and sexually ambiguous name. You'll never get on tv with Keith Olbermann unless you can cut that thing down to two syllables.

In fact the police were merely enforcing what the Supreme Court has termed a "reasonable time, place or manner" restriction on speech.

Another AP dispatch notes that in addition to Democrat Sheehan, Republican Beverly Young, wife of Rep. Bill Young of Florida, got the boot. She was wearing a T-shirt supporting the troops.
