And to think our own President...

George Bush is defacing the American flag in Vienna, Austria. But it is not the first time, apparent G.W. Bush has defaced the American Flag before. Puppethead posted about it back in July 2003.

TITLE 4 > CHAPTER 1 > § 8
§ 8. Respect for flag

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

I do like the way Snudge at Think Progress thinks:

Both “George” and “Bush” are words and a signature is an insignia. Plus, all of the words are made up of letters. If he followed up his signature with a smiley face, that would be a picture.

AmericaBlog has the picture.
