    Shame, Shame

    So we have not only Cindy Sheehan, but another person escorted out of the House chamber for wearing a printed tee? Is this what we've come to? Neither woman was wearing something obscene, nor does it seem Ms. Sheehan was being disruptive.

    It makes Bush's words about Coretta Scott King seem even more hollow and phony. If he truly honors the King family legacy, he will see to it both women receive public apologies.
