Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA1): Hypocrite or Unpatriotic?

[johnfunk]

Inspired by this story at the Crooks and Liars blog, American Politics Journal asks the question: Is Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA1) a hypocrite or unpatriotic?

(And yes, "both" is an option.)

Take the poll on their home page (top of the right column).

1. ok, stupid question time

Where did Obama get "his lapel pin"? Is it something they hand out in the Senate?

5. I've got one too.

Are you more patriotic if you wear your flag pin with black shoes and white socks? And slightly high water pants?

[Iris]

7. But the whole phrase "won't wear his flag pin" assumes he's got one.

Is there some part of the Patriot Act that requires every citizen to own one?


(because I don't have one - maybe I need to get one?)

[BurtWorm]

8. It's the unwritten law of politics. The same one that requires them to end speeches

beseeching God to bless their audience and the United States of America.

2. yes yes and an idiot

emphasis on the latter

3. Who is running against this fucktard?

And how can I send them money?

4. Maybe "fucktard" should've been a poll option

I can hear the public service announcement already...

"Hello. I'm Robert Wagner for the American Fucktard Foundation.

[cut to snippet of Kingston on Real Time]

"Don't let this happen to your family. Give generously to your local chapter of the American Fucktard Foundation."

6. unpatriotic.... whats his number so we can call his office and complain?
