[…] So while the LIE-beral Bush Justice Department may think they have him dead to rights after an almost decade-long investigation with dozens of convictions, I am going to trust my lying eyes as I learned in previous episodes of Lapel Pin Patriotism (episode 1, episode 2, movie edition). Just like Randall “Duke” Cunningham and all the others, I am sure he is innocent. […]

Wow John and you got top billing in the credits. How COOL is that?
That video is a thing of beauty. :)

I haven’t watched the whole thing, but I really hate that it twice talks about the Pledge of Allegiance (including once by Dan Abrams), which as far as I’m aware isn’t involved in any of the truthy allegations about Obama. He didn’t put his hand over his heart during the national anthem, which isn’t something that I’d normally do either. But these attacks mutate faster than you can get the story out, helped along by mistakes like Abrams’.

Who did the video, John?
Vice
This video is a thing of beauty!

BRAVO !
I’m sure that if this successfully goes viral, within 24 hours the GOP will successfully distract the mainstream media with a planted rumor campaign of their own that Hillary Clinton is a closet Wiccan, and that Vince Foster’s death was actually caused when he attended a ceremonial worship coven with the Clintons, and she mistakenly gave him the wrong sacramental potion that made him suicidal instead of meditative.

Unfortunately due to the kiddos I can’t hear Randy Newman without Pixar associations. I keep expecting to see Buzz Lightyear in his lapel pin. It’s great though. Could’ve safely moved a little bit faster since it doesn’t have to be at Republican reading speed — would be my only improvement.

Shame they didn’t edit this down to the 50% of elapsed time it actually needs. Internet time, baby! But good stuff nonetheless.

I just read the strangest Bill Clinton quote:
Substitute about two words and he’s talking about a breech birth. I don’t think he’s getting enough sleep.
Caidence (fmr. Chris)
Meh, I’m unimpressed.
Why were they pointing at former-House-Rep criminals wearing their Congressional pins when they were in Congress?
Underwhelming.
Asti
Hey, what do you have against breech births? I happen to have been born ass first, got a problem with that?
demimondian
cmoreNC — that is a filthy lie! She gave him the right potion — she has experience with this kind of thing, you know — but once he became meditative, he immediately saw the utter emptiness of his life, and chose to seek nirvana.
Jen
Yo’ mama might have. Give her a hug for me.

Shorter Jack Kingston:
Asti
I’ll need a shovel to dig her up first. I think the hug is probably a bad idea considering I could get arrested for such things.
Jen
I’m sorry, Asti. Light a candle, in that case.
Dug Jay
That’s not as good or current as the tape of the Obama news conference in Texas today. Obama couldn’t handle the questions about his long time close relationship with Tony Rezko and walked out of the conference after about 8 questions by his own account.
Asti
Oh, she doesn’t need a candle, she was pretty well lit the last 40 years of her life. I’m sure she’s still shining six feet under.
Asti
Oh that’s right, we was supposed to take at least 50.
ThymeZone
Oh absolutely. People across the country are letting it be known that handling the press is their number one issue hot button. For example, most people want a president that shrugs and snickers at the press and makes jokes about WMDs and stuff like that, stuff that irritates the people because they don’t like to see a president bothered with those type of questions. They like to see a president talk tough and tell the press to take a hike. In other words a president like the one we have now.
Asti
we = he
I should have checked my spelling.
ThymeZone
Spelling? Dug Jay can’t even spell his own name right, I wouldn’t worry too much about spelling.
Asti
God help us all!
Asti
shhhhh, it’s not Dug Jay I’m worried about, it’s demi ;)
(you’ll need to check out the next thread down for that inside joke).
just kidding demi.

If it wears a pin it belongs in the pen. Congrats John.
This is far more substantive than those irresponsible rumors about Jackoff Kingston wearing his patriot bling as a nipple ring. Just take the man’s “word” for it:
Ah duu got wun and Ah duu ware wun when Ah have wun but I don’t got none riteyer at this ‘ticular moment, hyuck, hyuck, hyuck! [spit]
Fucking dumbass Uncle Brother Cousin.
Asti
Lou Dobbs is going to jail?
r€nato
Christ, every single time I see that smarmy sack of shit Kingston peddling his GOP bullshit, I just want to wipe that glib fucking grin off his putrid, lying face.
Does that make me a bad person?
John S.
No, just impatient.
The Other Steve
Speaking of stupidity… Apparently bush’s answer to the problems in Palestine was to back a covert military group tied to Fatah, launching a civil war in Gaza which resulted in the entrenchment of Hamas.
Asti
Why would that make you a bad person? His pride is a sin! You’re just helping him get to heaven. ;)
ThymeZone
Warms my heart to see Rick Renzi wearing the pin, what a sleazeball.
ThymeZone
No.

A bad person wouldn’t want to bitch slap him into last week.
TR
Great idea, but yeah, the images need to be all flag pins. The Larry Craig one is terrific.
Here’s one of DeLay on Hannity and Colmes. Looks like Hannity is anti-American too.
oops
“Kingston”… sounds like he has a drop or two of Tory blood in him.
BettyPageisaBlonde
Only if you’re NOT wearing a flag pin. Otherwise, knock yourself out, you bit ‘ol patriot you!
BettyPageisaBlonde
bit == big
I hate my fingers.

Very good John!
Now how about dealing with some of the real issues concerning Obama?
Perry Como
To the person that did the video (and obviously reads Balloon Juice) … you have a comedy goldmine there, but it lacks a certain panache.
Michael D.
Is it just my eyesight, or is Rep. Kingston NOT wearing an American Flag lapel pin in the interview?
Traitor!
Michael D.
Ooops! Just finished viewing the video and noticed that was addressed.
Great work! Kingston is a dumbass.
merlallen
He’s the same idiot who wants to post the 10 Commandments everywhere.
He only knew 3 of them when asked to name them.
TR
If only there were a blog of your own where you could discuss whatever these “real issues” are yourself.
Or, for that matter, if only there were a comment section here where you could raise them.
Oh, to live in such a world.
Greg
Sadly, it seems that in the majority of those shots the individuals are wearing their Congressional pins NOT an american flag pin. They all have to wear congressional pins – thats how they are identified in the Capitol and Office Buildings
jake
Hey John, who made this? Do they wish to remain anonymous for fear Larry Craig will look through their bathroom window?
OMG! RASTAMAN SMOKING WEED IN THE CAPITOLZ!
It’s true! You don’t need the electronic ID tag, just a damn pin. That whole thing with Cynthia “Cell Phone” McKinney was because she wasn’t wearing her lapel pin. Really, try it! Get a blank brass pin from any craft store, some enamel paint and make your own pin. It doesn’t have to be completely accurate because the guards will have to sniff your aftershave to get close enough to inspect the thing. Then put on your best suit and you too can wander the Corridors of Power unhindered!
Pfffffffffffft!

Sorry don’t know how to put his quote in a “block” but this comment just shows how these so called Congressman were shoving it up your ass Caidence while they held office and you loved everyminute of it ..idjut!
Me, I cried
Seitz
There’s a typo in the video (I think). On the Larry Craig item, it say “you should always wear a lapel pin when flying in to to Minneapolis.”
Unless that’s a joke I’m missing.
boctaoe
Gotta get to Balloon Juice faster. The video is gone and I know I would have loved it
SP
Who the fuck cares about some stupid flag pin? Does patriotism mean adherence to specific symbols only?
If this is all they have to go after Obama with, he will wipe the floor with these redneck motherfuckers.
Chuck Butcher
Thanks John, I copied it to my place.
bernarda
I bet that Rethug Jack Kingston also has a magnetic yellow ribbon for his SUV too but he just forgot to stick it on.

“Isn’t this just pure sleaze?” Now thats how to ask a question.
