Protestors crashing the GOP's party
As first lady Laura Bush was delivering her prime-time speech in Madison Square Garden, Suarez, standing near the Texas delegation, held a banner that read, "Bush Lied. My Son Died."

<snip>

Not long after Suarez was escorted out, Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, an anti-war women's group, got within 30 feet of Vice President Dick Cheney during Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's speech.

"How much money has Halliburton made in Iraq?" she yelled at Cheney, the former CEO of Halliburton.

She held a banner reading: "Be Pro Life. Stop Killing in Iraq."

<snip>

Plus there was the fellow who got too close to Cheney.
