Sheehan and her ilk get booed at Rose Parade

How sweet it is.

Some 1,200 law enforcement officers were assigned to the parade to deal with any disruptions. Twenty-one people were arrested during the night, mostly for drunk-in-public violations, police spokeswoman Janet Pope Givens said.

Two groups were protesting at the parade. Dozens of anti-war protesters led by "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan staked out spots across from television cameras, hoisting signs reading "Impeachment is Patriotic." The protesters were booed by parade watchers sitting in the grandstand.
