Dress Code

Who wears t-shirts to the State of the Union address?
Cindy Sheehan, and the wife of Florida Rep. Bill Young. Both were ejected by Capitol police.
And what a lame way to go. I thought Sheehan would have waited to cause a spectacle. She might have jumped out of the balcony Tosca-style yelling, “Bush killed my son!” And as she lay injured on the floor of the senate, she would have smiled at the camera and said, “Senator Feinstein – I’m coming for you, you sell out… someone get Jessee Jackson – this is the photo op of the century…”
Instead she decides to wear a t-shirt that said “2,245 Dead. How many more.”

A more appropriate shirt would have been this.

  1. Something’s wrong with the character encoding that filters out international characters. To clarify:
    Teófilo = “Teofilo” with an accent mark on the first “o”.
    Chávez = “Chavez” with an accent mark on the first “a”, as in President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.
    Máximo = “maximo” with an accent mark on the “a”
    Sorry about the mess.

  2. I don’t get why the Capitol Police are apologizing to the two ladies: signs are prohibited in the gallery: does it matter that the sign is on your clothing?
