Dredging up an old chestnut, the House approved an amendment last week to ban flag burning. I thought this would be a bigger story -- hence the cartoon -- but I'm thankful it's not. Clearly the flag-burning measure was meant to coincide with Karl Rove's deeply immoral remarks about "liberals" and September 11 as a diversion from Gulag-gate. When the facts go against the Bushies, they respond by misrepresenting the other side. Actually, they do this no matter what -- even gratuitously, as with the made-up story about the Clinton staff vandalizing the White House on their way out. And they, of course, resort to the very basest form of faux patriotism.
