Dr. Spin ironically attacks Obama for not wearing flag pins.


LOL!


Thinkprogress:


In a recent interview with GQ, former Bush adviser Karl Rove criticized Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) for “not wearing a flag lapel pin,” saying that “to a lot of ordinary people, putting that flag lapel pin on is true patriotism.” As Rove made this comment, however, interviewer Lisa Depaulo noticed that he wasn’t wearing a pin:
DEPAULO: You’re not wearing a flag pin, Karl.
ROVE: Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. But I respect those who consciously get up in the morning and put a flag lapel pin on.
Rove’s ironic moment of criticism echoes a similar gaffe by Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA). In February, MSNBC’s Dan Abrams caught Kingston attacking Obama over the pins while not wearing one himself.
UpdateIn another bit of irony, Ben Smith points out that Rove's favored candidate, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), didn't wear a flag pin during his speech today.
Memo to Tubby: Stick to the issues in the Presidential and not who is or isn't wearing a lapel flag pin!
