If they did it to Cindy Sheehan...

They can do it to you. And don't think you're exempt because you're a "loyal American".

AP Wire | 02/01/2006 | Rep. Young's wife says she was ejected from State of the Union

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The wife of Rep. C.W. Bill Young said she was ejected during President Bush's State of the Union address for wearing a T-shirt that said, "Support the Troops Defending Our Freedom," a newspaper reported Wednesday.

Beverly Young said she was sitting in the front row of the House gallery Tuesday night when she was approached by someone who told her she needed to leave, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

After reluctantly agreeing, she said, she argued with several officers in an outside hallway.

"They said I was protesting," she said in a telephone interview with the newspaper Tuesday. "I said, 'Read my shirt, it is not a protest.' They said, 'We consider that a protest.' I said, 'Then you are an idiot.'"

Rep. Young found out about the incident after Bush's speech.

"I just called for the chief of police and asked him to get his little tail over here," Young said. "This is not acceptable."

I'm sure he plans on giving him an ass-chewing about Ms. Sheehan as well.
