I'm concerned that John McCain will outfox Barack Obama by
wearing a bigger flag pin than him at the next debate.


McCain's been spotted wearing pretty sizable flag pins in the past:





I'm worried he's going to break out an even bigger one for the next debate.

Does anyone agree with me that for the next debate Obama should affix a full-length flag to his lapel with a safety pin?

It seems like it would be hard for McCain to top that.

1. I think Obama should get a giant American flag tattooed to his face.

That would stop all the questions.

The amazing thing is that Obama would still probably win, albeit by a much narrower margin.

John McCain proved his patriotism by spending 5 1/2 years in blah blah blah so he needn't wear a flag pin . . .


OTOH, if McGramps is desperate enough by Tuesday, he may show up in an Uncle Sam outfit.


edit cuz it was missing stuff.

4. See, this is why I could never be a politician,
because when all that flagpin bullshit started, I would not have been able to resist making my next appearance dressed as Uncle Sam, and opening with: "Happy now?"
