Activist Pours Fake Oil on Herself During Senate Hearing
--------------------------------------------------------



In Washington, the Texas shrimper and activist Diane Wilson was arrested
on Wednesday for pouring fake oil on herself during a Senate energy
hearing. Wilson took the dramatic action while Alaska Senator Lisa
Murkowski was questioning Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.

Diane Wilson, Code Pink: "We are tired of the bailouts, and we are tired
of being dumped on in the Gulf. I’m a commercial fisherma’am from the
Gulf Of Mexico, and we’re tired of being dumped on!"
