Who was the "Lone Protestor" in the Gallery?

[read the law first]

I saw one bright orange scarf in the Gallery today about four rows behind where Rev. Jackson was sitting the first time he came to the Gallery. When Pukes were speaking, the "Lone Protestor" had the scarf wrapped around his head covering his ears and eyes and when Dems spoke he would hold it out straight from each side. About half way into the debates, the Capitol Hill police sent someone to sit next to him to watch over him and make sure that he didn't cause any "trouble" I guess. He stayed the whole time and then I saw him again outside the Capitol South metro station after the debate.

Was that you WilliamPitt?

P.S. I wore my "chad tie" from Florida as promised.

4. Oh. Well in the house it sounded a lot more lively. There was more

applause and booing, right?

7. on the floor but not in the gallery. cops were EVERYWHERE

In fact, either Fritakis or somebody who looks just like Fritakis' picture got sent out within seconds of sitting down when Rev. Jackson came in the second time. It looked like they were motioning that they didn't want him to have a folder of papers with him. But it was too far away to hear what was being said.

5. Your response is like the worm

that I, a hungry fish, bite.

Hmm.

9. DeWine's a Senator, I was in the House.

I was just saying that I didn't know what went on in the Senate because I was in the House gallery.

11. Well, maybe it was WillPitt then. : ) n/t

12. I felt baited into

asking what you were doing there. Were you on official business, for instance? Observing, reporting, debating?

24. Observing n/t

21. Hahahaha

freak. I love the people here! They're as crazy as I am!

[mycatforpresident]

2. HEY anybody?

Read asked a question. :crazy:

I am kicking it for my own selfish reasons, though. I wanna know who Agent Orange was, too.

6. Is that the one that yelled "You're a liar" to one of the

Repukes?

14. Actually, I think she yelled "he did not"

when DeWHINE said that * won

19. Who was she?

[dzika]

20. I talked to someone who was sitting with the "You're a liar" person.

Apparently she yelled this to one of the Republican speakers (I don't remember which one) as she was exiting the gallery. The gavel hit the desk before she made the door and they took her to jail. They said she would be there overnight due to being from out of state. The last I heard was that she was sitting in jail as defiant and pleased as ever.

I was also told that people were not being allowed to enter the gallery with any type of protest or orange items. Even orange ribbons around fingers had to be removed.

22. That was one of the highlights of the day.

Even though some of the dem senators were saying some right things, the whole thing was so tame and it felt so awful. I kept envisioning Rove and Bush chuckling to themselves, and poor Cheney having to restrain himself from laughing out loud because of the cameras. I was hoping the strain of playacting would prove too much for him.

When I heard that lady yell and then they stopped and told the guards to remove anyone who wasn't being orderly (or what ever they said), I felt much better.

There is a small group of people pushing this through and behind them some groveling repukes who hope to ascend the ladder, and behind them some sniveling fearful complicit dems going along for the ride. Then come the poor brainwashed masses who listen to the puke press and just don't know.

That lady who yelled represents more people than those who are stealing our country. I hope someone is watching over her. If any DUers are in DC, could you please make sure she's okay.

23. Now big brother won't allow anyone to

wear orange? We are a 'police state'. Absolutely ridiculous. What's next?

[jayctravis]

8. I did hear a couple times when...

agh...was it Cheney? Got to use the gavel and call for order.

10. S Jackson Lee was about to give Hastert a smack down.

Hastert gaveled Sheila Jackson Lee and she was about to bounce him off the top rope.

[Helga Scow Stern]

13. That was the highlight of the day. Won't that make excellent footage!

[Carolab]

15. I was ready myself to give Hastert a smackdown

He'd let people get up to speak and then stop them right away. Did this TWICE.

Once with Nadler. And another time with _____? (Can't remember).

What a RUDE POS he is.

[jayctravis]

18. Oh yeah...whose job is it to watch the clock?

"You have a minute and...and a half."

Don't waste time asking, wait for him to recognize you and go go go!

[jayctravis]

17. subtitle:

"I don't care if you have a gavel, bitch."

[Niche]

16. Maybe Agent Orange is Agent MIke?

I can't stand the suspense. Who was it?

[troubleinwinter]

25. What was going on (House, I think)

when he kept banging the gavel and saying, "Please take your conversations off the floor."? He did it MANY times, and always when a Dem was speaking (and usually at a moment when something great was being said).

I got the notion that the Repubs were being rude? Talking during Dem speakers?
