Fair and balanced repression
We all know how the press has to couch every political dispute into a "he said, she said" mode in order to appear balanced. It sounds as though the Bush goons have taken a lesson from the press. ABC reports:
Fair and balanced repression.
Cindy Sheehan, mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq, wasn't the only one ejected from the House gallery during the State of the Union address for wearing a T-shirt with a war-related slogan that violated the rules. The wife of a powerful Republican congressman was also asked to leave.Beverly Young, wife of Rep. C.W. Bill Young of Florida chairman of the House Defense Appropriations subcommittee was removed from the gallery because she was wearing a T-shirt that read, "Support the Troops Defending Our Freedom."
Fair and balanced repression.

Now that we have the fuller story on this-- Cindy Sheehan's own account and an apology fom the Capitol Police-- is there any further proof needed that we no longer live in a truly "free" nation?
Nothing less than an apology from the President and the Speaker of the House will do.
