News Rep. Jack Kingston, R-GA, embarrasses state

Sorry, Jack. We'll give you props for going on "Real Time with Bill Maher" and shooting the breeze, but you should try to lay off the GOP talking points while you prep in the green room. On his Friday appearance on the HBO show, Kingston — joined by David Frum, the poetic former speechwriter for President George W. Bush — decided to talk about a bunch of stunning, startling information about Barack Obama: He refuses to pledge allegiance to the flag! He doesn't wear a flag pin on his lapel!

Only problem, Rep. Kingston, is that you're wrong. (Click here for Kingston getting called out by Maher later that evening for not wearing a flag pin on his own lapel.) There are plenty of other neat idiot statements, including the "Barack Hussein Obama" line.
To the dunderheads running our country, I raise a glass to thee.
