News Rep. Jack Kingston, R-GA, embarrasses state
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, Feb 25, 2008 at 3:21 PM
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.

My name is Bill Gillespie, and I'm Jack Kingston's election opponent in 2008. Here Jack goes again, seeking the spotlight and spending the taxpayers time politiking instead of serving the people of District 1. Jack is in Congress for one purpose: to represent the people of South Georgia, fighting for what's best for our region and America. He is not there to campaign for President. Partisan publicity stunts like this interview only waste taxpayers' money and make South Georgia look bad. This is no surprise though. For several years now Jack has put his political party and special interest friends ahead of the people he represents. As Congressman, all my energy will be focused on serving South Georgia and putting the people first. Visit my website to find out more: www.billforgeorgia.com
