News Where is Boortz's lapel pin?

Influential talk-radio host Neal Boortz was shocked this morning — shocked, I tell you —as he blasted Barack Obama for failing to wear an American flag lapel pin in Iowa campaigning.
"Barack Obama will no longer wear a flag on his lapel because he says it is a symbol of supporting the war in Iraq," Boortz said, in the midst of his incredulity and outrage over Obama's near-treasonous wardrobe admission.
Never mind that Obama never actually said the lapel omission had anything to do with Iraq. Or that it's pitiful to try to turn lapel flags into a litmus test for presidential candidates. Surely, I thought, Boortz must brandish the flag on his chest wherever he goes out in public! Then, Andisheh pointed out that Boortz (left) didn't appear to be wearing a flag at an event CL photographer Joeff Davis shot last week. Neither did the ever-patriotic Newt Gingrich (center). Nor überpatriot Sean Hannity. Strange. Perhaps, they were wearing patriotic underwear.

FYI: boortz, hannity and newts wear it near their zippers as a reminder. if joeff had gotten shoe pics, this truth would be clear and evident for all.
