Pledge of a Lesion

This has to be seen to be believed.  And how did this lunatic get a press pass?

MORE: I wonder if he made his getaway on a Segway.

UPDATE: Blogger Interrupted has the scoop on “John Q. Public.”

Wow. John Q. Angry. Blogger Interrupted says he thinks he was sent to the event by someone; to me he looks like a lone nutjob ... high emotional intensity ... says every meeting should start with the pledge because his father and cousin served in the military. Yeah, a nutjob, methinks.

I hope the Secret Service tightens things up.

What’s with the pledge and flag pin fetish? Is it really that important to stand up and repeat the pledge? Bush took an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution, where the fuck did that get us?

This is the simple-minded shit that has kept these conscienceless crooks in power for so long, they have a never-ending stream of willfully ignorant sycophants ready to stomp around like an angry 4-year old to demonstrate that patriotism is somehow defined by what you memorized in first grade.

Dude, the Presidential oath is only for four years.  The Pledge is forever.  That’s why you have to keep reciting it.  or something…

I note the special relish with which he delivers that cum shot - “under GAWD!!!”

Damn.  That is scary.  I’ve been press credentialed for a couple of events where Obama has been present now and I can’t even imagine that happening.  You’re usually in an area that overlooks the happenings, whether on risers on the floor or overhead (balcony levels in theaters, auditoriums). To get a clear shot with a camera....

Very scary.

UH-OH Kev, it appears the PUMAs will roar and roar loudly in Dnever!!!!

The guy’s a nutcase, but Obama handled it really well, I think.

If this was a town hall meeting, why didn’t they follow the pledge by reviewing the minutes from the last town hall meetings.

Why weren’t there reports from the finance committee and school committee?  Why didn’t Betty report on the latest bake sale results?

Why didn’t any of these things happen?  Oh yeah, that’s right… because this isn’t one of >those< town hall meetings.  Too bad this chucklehead can’t tell the difference.

oh Gob, where did you leave your puppet?  Come on!

Walter Sobchak had buddies who died face-down in the muck too…

Is it possible to register as a douchebag?

tas - I think your name is automatically entered into the douchebag database when you buy Carrot Top tickets or brag about your golf-game.

Two words - Thorazine, lithium.
