Jack Kingston Lapel Pin Watch

It's a tough matchup with Patrick McHenry, but Jack Kingston can be credibly said to be the biggest dumbfuck in Congress. For some reason he's also a regular on Bill Maher's show, and his most recent appearance has given us hours of hysterical laughter that will define him for the rest of his career.

See, he's all bent out of shape because Barack Obama refuses to wear an American flag lapel pin because it's a completely empty gesture devoid of meaning. To Kingston the role of Congress is to wear the proper pins and to make symbolic displays so everyone understands you're acting like a patriot. And Kingston then went on Dan Abrams' show to further the point. But he wasn't wearing a lapel pin on the show, while he was lambasting Obama for... not wearing a lapel pin. He didn't see the irony in this.

Now some activists in Georgia who are working for his Democratic opponent in the upcoming election are on a full-on lapel pin watch.



This is going to be a fun year once this primary is dispensed with.
