Mature Protest

I love protesters who decide to take it to a whole new level rather than doing a peaceful protest. Like this idiot who thought it would be a good idea to paint her hands red (Blood!!! Bush's blood!!!) and get within inches of Condi Rice's face, while screaming at her.
If I were Rice I would have punched this hippie in the face for screaming at me like that. But of course she can't do that.
My question - how does a crazed woman like this get that close to the Secretary of State???

Another question - is this woman protesting the way women were treated in Iraq prior to us going there? She represents Code Pink, isn't that some big womens rights organization.
