BUSH IN FLAG FLAP
George W. Bush has hit controversy as a picture has surfaced showing the president signing a well-wisher's hand-held American flag--a direct violation of the Federal Flag Code .
According to the law, "[t]he flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."
The President was meeting and greeting supporters on July 23, 2003 at Beaver Aerospace and Defense in Livonia, Michigan where the alleged transgression occured.
A side note about the flag flap: "Any rule or custom pertaining to the display of the flag of the United States of America, set forth herein, may be altered, modified, or repealed, or additional rules with respect thereto may be prescribed, by the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, whenever he deems it to be appropriate or desirable; and any such alteration or additional rule shall be set forth in a proclamation."

What a pathetic excuse for a President. President of the United States of America and he doesn't know better than to deface The Flag. GWB's handlers must be in a constant state of anxiety trying to anticipate what his next doofus act will be.
