As an Unlicensed Practitioner (“Dr. of Chattering Masses”), I Would Like to Offer Martin Bashir (Gratis, of Course) (Hey! Druids Love Sinners Too, You Know) My Diagnosis of His Dreadful, Desperate, Unhinged State of Mind…

Britsh accents shouldn’t lecture about red, white and blue flag wrappings, i.e. the American Flag in general, unless they’re Chris Hitchens, and THEN only sparingly. Extraordinary bad optics. You’re acting like the Mayor of Crazy Town.

(…as evinced by this particular bit of screen time recently…)

MSNBC’s Martin Bashir: Palin Bus Tour In “Breach Of Federal Law”

…It all sounds like a wonderful commitment to American values and American history, but it’s nothing of the kind. In fact, the whole thing could be in breach of a federal law because the United States Flag Code establishes important rules for the use and display of the stars and stripes, the flag of the United States. Under standards of respect and etiquette, it’s made clear that the flag of the United States should never be used for any advertising purpose whatsoever.

Yet that’s precisely what Sarah Palin is doing. She’s using the flag of the United States for her own financial purposes. She drapes herself in the stars and stripes and makes millions of dollars in the process. This has got nothing to do with the presidency and everything to do with filling her pockets.

(Oh, Marty IS the the MAYOR OF CRAZY TOWN. They got his picture on the wall at the water treatment facility…)

…While Recommending This Organic and Remarkably Effective Cure.

Shut the fuck up.

Don’t thank me, Marty.

Just save yourself while you’ve still got your health.

You CAN get your mind back eventually if you take some quiet time. I promise.

What is it about that Palin chick?*

    According to The Mayor, we should be calling the FBI for this.

    “Shut The Fuck Up”, indeed.

  2. Mike Talley says:

    Guess EVERY car dealership in the USA is in violation as well….but its totally ok to burn the flag, thats protected speech dont you know… *sigh*

    Just incredible, and he’s saying it with such fake gravitas. She is driving the Lefties nuts and they can’t see how stupid they are acting.

  4. Yojimbo says:

    As Rush says, she is living rent free in their minds.

  5. JeffS says:

    Major Dad, I have to think that she’s doing it deliberately.

    And that thought makes me smile.

  6. Dave E. says:

    The good news is that the next time I do something ridiculous and stupid, I’ll still be able to say, “At least I didn’t Martin Bashir it.”

  7. major dad says:

    I agree JeffS, she is playing them like a fiddle, and loving every minute of it I would guess.

  8. aelfheld says:

    PDS is turning out to be much, much more amusing than BDS.

  9. Winston Smith says:

    Do people like Bashir ever actually sit down and watch themselves in a pub or somewhere they can get HONEST feedback of their performance?

  10. aelfheld says:

    Self-reflection and self-criticism are anathema to pompous, ignorant, twits like Bashir.
