Arrested by Capitol Police. She was to view the SOTU, an invitee by a CA congressman. WH was worried that she might try to stage a protest during the SOTU!

My God.

1. Bush is a chickenshit

Oh I'm sorry....I meant to say "a fucking chickenshit".

So Agent Mike, please make sure you quote me correctly.

5. I'm kinda wondering if that actually happened.
It's more likely that they just noticed she had something.

6. It was because she broke the House rules by unfurling an anti-war banner.

At least that's what they are saying...on CNN.

Are they really able to arrest a person for breaking House rules?

Although, they said something about her being "detained" by a House employee. Sheesh.

7. Gee, it used to be you couldn't arrest someone until they
broke the law.
