How does Cindy being thrown out of SOTU help * in any way? Or

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

making publicity over this?

If anything, it steals the "thunder" from another lameass * speech. I can see a little benefit from that, but again it shows the cowardly * government, afraid of a bereaved war mom, more negative spotlight on the Iraq mess.

I went to bed early, didn't watch the speech, just woke up and am reading here about this.

I really don't see how this could possibly be helpful to *.

1. Yep. Little Lord Pissypants made a BAD MOVE.

Peace.

2. I wish she was merely "thrown out"

She was arrested and charged with "unlawful conduct."

The administration does not want the public to observe any dissent, whether it falls under the freedom of protected speech or not.

3. king george is spiteful, arrogant and immature

I'm surprised he didn't have her beaten and imprisoned in the Tower.

4. That's What Alito & Gonzales Are For

His Fascist Thugs Will Do Their Best!

5. It doesn't help him at all

It's just another example of his petty behavior.

The fact is, he probably didn't even know about it. His factotums were anticipating his wishes and over-responding. It would have been "appropriate" to simply escort Ms. Sheehan out, but the arrest and charges were part of the "lesson" they wanted to "teach" her.

People see this stuff, and they know exactly what it is. That's why Bush is even losing some of his base.
