Governor Palin should be criticizing Newsweek for abuse of the flag of the U.S. as well as their sexist depiction of her personally. It will be a good opportunity for her to educate the public on the proper and improper ways to display the flag of the U.S. This sort of abuse of the flag is rampant these days. It should not be reduced to a fashion article or a photo prop.
Check6,
Your “outrage” over the incorrect (and IMHO distasteful use of the flag as a “prop”) is misdirected at Newsweek. (They didn’t originate the photo, nor did they direct Gov Palin to pose while leaning on the flag.)
In actuality, Gov Palin should have had better sense than to participate in a photo shoot with a flag draped across a table (a clear violation of flag protocol) and secondly not to have then leaned on the flag with her elbow planted on it.
Geez, I’ve known those things weren’t proper since I was a cub scout at age 10.
