SHEEHAN ARRESSTED IN HOUSE CHAMBER



Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif. offered Sheehan a ticket to the speech — Gallery 5, seat 7, row A — earlier Tuesday while Sheehan was attending an "alternative state of the union" press conference by CODEPINK, a group pushing for an end to the Iraq war. sted
Sheehan, wrapped in a bright pink scarf against the cold, protested outside the White House with a handful of others before heading to the Capitol Tuesday evening. There were no cameras around, but the small band faced the executive mansion and repeatedly shouted, "You're evicted! Get out of our house!"
She 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. Was it right for Cindy Sheehan to be arrested?

Yes, it was right for her to be arrested. Rex the bomb-sniffing dog was better behaved than Sheehan.
