So Cindy Sheehan will be at the SOTU address...
...a guest of Rep Woolsey, if I heard it rightly.

What do you think she will do, if anything?

Walk out, as Will Pitt suggests? Catcalls? Or just sit nicely and not clap? I have a feeling she may do something interesting.

1. I LOVE that piece by Will Pitt - Stand Up and Walk OUT!
Not that any of the invertebrates will do so. But it'd be nice.

2. I would guess she will sit quietly
and most definitely will not clap!


I'd like to see her stand and turn her back. I think turning your back is just ever so slightly better than walking out. But I'm in no fear of making a spectacle of myself:)

3. Actually, just her presence should be enough.
Ole Shrubby just can't avoid her can he? I think it will have the desired effect even if she sits and does nothing.

4. Maybe she'll stand up and turn her back on Bush. . .
that sort of gesture would get her message across.

5. Even when they're in the same room, he'll refuse to meet with her...
...which is precisely the point, I imagine.

7. She should get the entire Dem side of the aisle to start chanting
"Liar, Liar, Liar, Liar"

Hey, it could happen

8. I'd love for her to spit in his face.
Cindy is tough. She's tall too. She'd be looking down on Bush, spitting on the little chump. What would he do?

13. She is a guest of a representative, they can't bar her from coming in.
Well, I guess they -could- but it would be a horrifically bad political bungle.

10. As a guest of her Congresscritter, she will do nothing inappropriate.
Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 07:36 PM by mcscajun
What she may do with the press (you *know* they'll be on her) AFTER the Speech is another matter entirely. :)

11. She will be the silent tenant at the Landlord's door
as mute as stone. Her very presence will curse the speech. Good for her.

12. Watch - if she sheds the slightest tear
"She's having a breakdown . . . " is how the MSM will portray it . . . whilst forgetting that it was a Repuke who called Alito a bigot, causing Mrs. Alito to bust into tears (on cue) . . .
