Give Us Barrabas Monica!

Sen. Clinton co-sponsors anti-flag burning law

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is supporting new legislation to criminalize desecration of the United States flag -- though she still opposes a constitutional ban on flag attacks.

Got that? She wants to stand up to the Supreme Court! We're gonna revere the flag in this country, dammit!

The [ ] measure outlaws a protester intimidating any person by burning the flag, lighting someone else's flag, or desecrating the flag on federal property.

Oh, so it's a halfhearted empty gesture and constitutional dodge dressed up as a principled stand against the Supreme Court -- that should go over really well in all quarters, don't you think?

The woman wants to keep our troops in Iraq for the foreseeable future, too. Remind me, again: Why is she a Democrat?
