I'll edit this post as things change, but a couple breaking stories...

First, a REPUBLICAN Congressman's wife was removed from her seat at the SOTU last night for wearing a "Support out Troops" shirt. She wasn't arrested. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Second, Sheehan has put out a statement of what actually happened, trying to correct some of the rumors that have been reported in the press. Problem is, only place it is posted is either getting too many hits from people trying to read it, or is under DNS attack...when I get to read it, I'll post it here...

As Drudge says, Developing...

ETA:

K, here's her letter, from DailyKos.

Also from Kos, more about the wife of Rep. Young:

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.'"

And a link to the legal argument that BOTH ejections were illegal!
