Where’s McCain’s Flag Pin?
June 10, 2008
On the night McCain delivered his most watched speech, taking advantage of the historical importance of those other two historical candidates, you’d think McCain would’ve done everything he could to deliver a knock out punch. Instead, aside from the gaffe on how to rehydrate babies with hot water, and the Hamas-green backdrop, he also appears to have gaffed the wardrobe by not wearing a flag pin demonstrative of his patriotism.
Now personally, I could care less, as I’m sure is the case with most other progressives. I even cringe a tad seeing one on Obama, knowing that he’s wearing this flag piece to convince the less educated that he’s not Muslim. (No, actually he might be wearing it out of respect to the veteran who gave it to him.)
But my cynicism causes me to digress. What I was trying to say was, for a Republican to take the stage and not be wearing one - well that’s just a bit too maverick for me.
And wait, listen. Where are all the conservative commentators, the media, and the stupification army in their plastic outrage. Fox News - don’t let us down now. Washington Times, please make this an issue. Rushie, this is so vitally important to this nation.
