The real story here is the embarrassingly poor quality of ABC's effort.
Why would you ask a dumb question about a man's lack of an American Flag pin on national television?
There were a number of questions asked of this lamentable quality.
One might think Rupert Murdoch himself wrote some of the questions (Sorry, Times, that might touch a sore spot).
It all reminds me of why American is in such a terrible state. The major news media have never covered the war in Iraq or other Bush failures with any degree of toughness and honesty.
My God, here is a man that represents much of what is best in America, a figure of grace and intelligence, and an idiot talking head asks him about his not wearing an American Flag pin!
Guys wearing their American Flag pins gave the world Vietnam, Chile, Iraq, and a dozen filthy little colonial wars.
