shrub and wife walk on the flag of USA to celebrate his administration's complete failures to do his duty to protect the people on September 11, 2001. (And you think shrub can't learn from the friendly people in Iran?)
"Now we can torture those who do show respect to the flag."
"Why bother? ..."
(Please forgive me for saying this - but the pose shrub takes in this picture reminds me too much of the statue of the soldiers in front of the Viet Nam Memorial in Washington D.C. Am I disgusted, or what?)
"Respect the flag. Look what its gotten us. ... And Pickles, remind me to send a thank you note to Iran."
"This Administration, for all its talk of strength, has made us less safe, and its proposal before us today is one that smacks of weakness and fear. Its legislative demands reflect a cowering country that is succumbing to the threat of terrorism. I believe that we are better than that. I believe that we are stronger than that. I believe that we are fairer than that. I believe that America should be a leader in the fight for human rights and the rule of law. "
Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont
