  1. cindy sheehan was arrested. That explains why I couldn’t find her. Would have been hilarious to see what would have happened though, if she was in the crowd.

  2. She was wearing something that was anti-military and by the rules you’re not allowed to.

    A Senator’s wife (I don’t remember who but you guys can look it up online) got arrested for wearing a pro-military shirt too, however.

  3. Apparently it’s one of those “Well, at least I thought it was a rule” rules.
