Tina Richards Arrested at Nancy Pelosi's Office

Military mother Tina Richards was arrested today and will be charged with disorderly conduct outside Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's congressional office. She was there with about 30 other people to ask Pelosi to end the war and bring the troops home.

Richards is the mother of a Marine who has done two tours of Iraq and struggled to find proper health care. She was yelled at by House Appropriations Chair David Obey in a widely viewed video in which Obey complained about "idiot liberals."

Lorie Perdue and Tyler both phoned in reports. Watch for video later today at http://www.youtube.com/whynotnews
