This is a rather subdued article (to my surprise). Also a specific one to a point (names some names). I think it's just a matter of days before photos and quotes appear in the media that verify what Sheehan did, specifically, as to these offensive behaviors that some today are attempting to say didn't occur.
From the mere video of Sheehan I saw last night, she was making a big deal out of keeping her jacket on and her head covered which in itself should (and did) draw the attention of ANY even remotely observant security detail, particularly at that meeting of last evening (most the Cabinet was there, certainly President Bush was, all or just about all of Congress, for starters). Keeping that hood up covering her head while she was in doors (after being called out of her seating) was the most odd.
But, I'm hoping someone has photos of the "unfurling" of her banner/sign...anyone doing that in Congress seems already more than a problem on a behavioral basis and people trying to force this as an issue as to "free speech" (or not) are avoiding the issue and problem...and that is, erratic behavior such as this suggests an erratic personality. Given the proximity of that to who (President, et. al), there's a potential for a lot of harm and should have been removed for even basic security concerns.
Woolsey is a problem, too. This is reckless and even offensive behavior by her as a member of Congress and it seems to suggest her as erratic, also, for providing access to Sheehan, already obviously an erratic, unpredictable personality who has threatened the President and many more. Woolsey should be held accountable.
Some of the connections between Woolsey,Sheehan,the American Communist Party and every virulent anti-American subversive outfit you can think of, is mindboggling.There is an organised effort afoot to destroy our President and bring our country to it's knees and some Democrats are right in the middle of it.
Sheehan is a patsy for something bigger.The whole stinking mess has to be exposed.
Even as long ago as 1972, the late author Robt Heinlein postulated the necessity of 'abandoned areas', in which 'law' did not apply, due to the impossibility of applying the 'law' and such areas, and for the convenience generally of the political class.
Woolsey should be censured by the Congress. At the very least.
I listened to Woolsey on Medved yesterday. It is incredible that she is an elected officeholder. She is quite inarticulate to the point of inability to pursue a thought to the end of a sentence and she did NOT sound drunk. Med said she was elected with 73%. That bespeaks a terrible contempt for the institution of Congress on the part of her constituents
