Kane Watch: Sheehan's Shirt

Eugene Kane asks:

...was [Cindy Sheehan] just looking for publicity
or is there something troubling about a vocal critic to Bush's war policy being
arrested for simply expressing her opinon on a t-shirt?

First off, yes, she was looking for publicity. It would be absolutely silly to think otherwise.

Second, there's nothing troubling about it. She was told the rules ahead of time, chose to ignore them and paid the price.

And it had nothing to do with Bush. Such displays are not accepted during the SOTU. That's why the wife of a Republican Representative was also removed for wearing a shirt that supported Bush.

It's also why a man was ejected from the Gallery during Clinton's impeachment trial.

This is nothing new. Eugene and everyone else hoping to make a case out of this need to just move on.

UPDATE: Mr. Kane follows up with another post acknowledging that Sheehan wasn't the only one thrown out for expressing her views.

But I'm unconvinced his original post wasn't a shot specifically at this administration.
