We've got two questions for the police who arrested Cindy Sheehan for wearing an antiwar T-shirt to George W. Bush's State of the Union address Tuesday night:
Although you escorted the wife of a Republican congressman out of the House of Representatives for wearing a "Support the Troops" T-shirt, it seems that you didn't put her in handcuffs or keep her in holding cells for a few hours. Why was that, exactly?
And while you apparently concluded that Sheehan's "2245 Dead -- How many more?" T-shirt amounted to an unlawful protest in the House chamber, we seem to remember that a lot of the president's supporters were sporting purple thumbs at the last State of the Union address. How many of them did you arrest?
