I'm pretty sure it's not a crime to sign a Flag, or fly it at night, or in the rain, or lower it without playing taps at noon...if anything they're guidelines, protocols if you will.
As usual this thread has turned into a battle of protocol violations. Hummers in the Oval office vs. Sharpies ink on a table top center piece. Lying under oath vs. murky intelligence references in a state of the union. Is there any other type of intelligence? Who the fuck wouldn't want a little knob slobbing at the ole office? I do have to question the judgement of his choice of 'moped' though
We've definately got to get a grip on things.
I wonder how the recipient of said autograph felt about it? While he might appreciate the vitriolic and utterly nonsensical references to 'defiling' and 'defacing' of said woven symbol (in this case probably plastic) I doubt he would concur with those two characterizations.
The value of that flag has probably gone through the roof since Bush will likely never sign another one
