She didn't even laugh at the joke about President Clinton - although that may have also had to do with her feelings on her husband.

She looked like someone who had just been sent to the corner for punishment.

If I were her future campaign manager, I would advise her to quit with the smirks, that she's losing ground with her "female base" each time she's so rude.

I don't expect her to be joyous or even happy, but she has GOT to lose that grimace!!

I totally agree. He really didn't say anything at all. I thought some of the Democratic response pointed that out some (though the gov's lips an voice were not in synch on my tv...) Yes we all support our troops, and want them home, though the means may vary. Yes we want less dependence on foreign oil, though we don't get most of our oil from the mid-east. It goes on and on.

I thought Rove did a great job getting the Repubs to buy in and clap. I was wondering if they were going to be a tough sell for him, but somehow Rove's genius pulled that one out of the fire.

Yeah, she is. But she's also a grieving mother.

According to NPR this morning, she was wearing a tee shirt. Nothing was said about a banner.

If she really did try to unfurl a banner, there are different considerations in my mind, and she probably deserved to be removed from the hall. A tee shirt is something else.

The Bush folks are very touchy about any kind of negative demonstration. There is a court case here in Denver regarding two women who were thrown out of a Bush campaign appearance because of an anti-Bush bumper sticker on their car. I really do think there are potential First Amendment issues in last night's situation.

Again, according to NPR, she was removed from the hall, was arrested and then released.

Why the heck would the Texas Congressperson invite her in the first place. That's asking for trouble.

I think it was a Representative from CA

Capitol Police took Sheehan, invited as a guest of Rep. Lynn Woolsey, a Democrat, away in handcuffs and charged her with unlawful conduct, a misdemeanor. She later was released on her own recognizance.

IF a trial comes out of this, Rep. Woolsey should be held just as responsible, IMO.

Interesting...
 

What would she be charged with?

Aiding and abetting.

Are you serious?

Why? Because you don't agree with the looks?

Is she supposed to maintain a smile when she might be listening to something she doesn't agree wiith and/or thinks might be complete BS.

That's like saying I wish Bush would refrain from those freaking smirks every two minutes. I don't like them but he has every right to do it.

Wasn't aware that we couldn't give certain looks these days...I've been in Cali too long me thinks.

LOL WHAT?

Wow...

You are correct. I thought someone on one of the networks (I was surfing between the three majors) said Texas.

My error.
