Okay, I missed tonight’s State of the Union address, so I’m about to head over to the Vodka Dude and catch up with his traditional live-blogging.
It seems I’m not the only one who missed the event, though. The State of the Union address? Just another opportunity for Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan to score another hit of her drug of choice — attention.
Peace activist Cindy Sheehan was arrested Tuesday in the House gallery after refusing to cover up a T-shirt bearing an anti-war slogan before President Bush’s State of the Union address.
“She was asked to cover it up. She did not,” said Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman, adding that Sheehan was arrested for unlawful conduct, a misdemeanor.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail, Schneider said.
Unfortunately, I doubt that Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan will get the maximum. Still, she is now a repeat offender. I wonder what this will do to her senatorial bid? Okay, that’s prossibly a joke site, but Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan has threatened to run.
