Who is this Repub congressman's wife who supposedly got arrested?

[americanstranger]

CNN reported this earlier - that a Republican congressman's wife was arrested for wearing a 'Support The Troops' t-shirt. a Google News search turns up nothing.

Anyone seen a report on this?

9. Glaring prejudice

The lunacy of taking issue with clothes aside, one shirt gets you 86ed, another lands you in jail.

13. Thanks for the link!

This sounds like a very different circumstance than Cindy's. The Capitol Police are disputing her account.

Interesting.

8. He was insulted that his wife who cares about the troops was asked to

leave -as she was listening to the speech.

11. Maybe it was to mask the blunder of arresting Cindy

Though that probably gives their information processing/communication skills too much credit.

14. even after telling the officer "Then you are an idiot.'"

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.'"
