Stars, Stripes, and Idiots

Digg! Digg this

Google already has about 378,000 links to web pages about U.S. Senator Barack Obama’s decision to not wear a U.S. flag pin on his lapel while he campaigns for the Presidency. (For comparison, imagine if every French politician except Nicolas Sarkozy made a habot of wearing “Marianne” t-shirts.) So when U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston started making media appearances to talk about the non-pin-wearing Obama’s supposed lack of patriotism, it was hardly news.

Except that Kingston didn’t wear a flag pin during the interviews.

It’s good to see that American politics is laser-focused on things that matter.
