Proof of 1st Amendment Death: GOP Wife Ousted from SOTU

Oh, man, but this is good. It's not just Cindy Sheehan who gets tossed, but anyone with any kind of writin' on her t-shirt.
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."
C.W. Bill Young is a Republican, mind you, so his wife was nice and cozy in the Chimperor's inner circle.
She was sitting about six rows from first lady Laura Bush and asked to leave. She argued with police in the hallway outside the House chamber.
I have to hand it to Ms. Young--she went right to the heart of the problem with the whole damned administration.
"They said I was protesting," she told the St. Petersburg Times. "I said, "Read my shirt, it is not a protest.' They said, 'We consider that a protest.' I said, 'Then you are an idiot.'"
ABC News did not make it clear whether or not this was directed at the president, his wife, advisor Karl Rove, or any other administration shithead.

Wonderful, just wonderful.
