Slog - Comments on Sorry about that, Mrs. Sheehan http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/02/sorry_about_tha_1 There would have been a lot less written and said about Sheehan at the SOTU if they had just let her sit there in her t-shirt and listen to the President lie. From the AP: Capitol Police dropped a charge of unlawful conduct against antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan Wednesday and offered apologies to her as well as a congressman's wife after they were ejected from President Bush's State of the Union address for wearing T-shirts with war messages.
