   The Washington Business Journal (via Drudge) [1]reports:

     House Democrats tried to unveil their lobbying reform package
     today, but their press conference was drowned out by chants from
     anti-war activists who want Congress to stop funding the Iraq war
     before taking on other issues.

     Led by Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a slain soldier, the protesters
     chanted "De-escalate, investigate, troops home now" as Democratic
     Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., began outlining the
     Democrats' plans to ban lobbyist-funded travel and institute other
     ethics reforms. The press conference was held in the Cannon House
     Office Building in an area open to the public.

     Emanuel finally gave up trying to be heard over the chants, and
     retreated to a caucus room where Democrats were meeting.

   Enjoying this? Yes!
