Everyone already knows about it. Mother Sheehan was arrested in the
Her words. (warning! the zealous community members of that website have filthy mouths! read the 'comments' section at your own peril)
No charges will be filed, and the US Capitol Police have apologized for arresting her.
The online Left is screaming. I am always mystified by the general outrage when someone gets hassled by the Man in a prominent way. She was in that audience for political purposes and those purposes were achieved, albeit indirectly. Rather than just being on camera a few times with her t-shirt, she gets her first amendment rights violated while the nation is watching. Things have turned out for her about as good as possible. She gets free publicity, enhances her martyr status, can engage in a very public and shameful flaunting of her victimhood, and further cement herself in the pantheon of Liberal-Left public figures.
That, and she didn’t have to sit through a scripted, ritualistic, made-for-TV snoozer.
You’d think everyone on dailykos would be cheering. This will energize the base, get out protestors, raise soft money, sell t-shirts, and generally inspire the sorts of things leftists do when they're angry.
