CNN, AP, and Kingston

I am hoping that Keith Olbermann can find a way to name CNN, AP, and Rep Jack Kingston his worst people in the world...or at least group them in as one entry. Over the weekend all three managed to find ways to create or further questions about the patriotism of Barack Obama.

On Friday night Kingston criticized Obama for not putting his hand on his heart during the pledge and not wearing a flag pin on his lapel. First of all Kingston wasn't wearing a flag pin himself. Secondly, it was the Star Spangled Banner that was playing and there is no protocol for doing that during the anthem (look around at the football or baseball game next time) and even though some choose to do it, this is hardly a patriotism marker. Then you get the AP going down the road of the previous internet garbage again.

But it is CNN who takes the cake. Last night they actually had a poll on their site asking people if Obama was patriotic enough to be President.
