George Bush disrepects the US Flag!

[Rokenn]

Just like all those redneck patriots that improperly display the flag.

Yet another reason to impeach him:

From the US Code, Title 4, Chapter 1, Sec. 8 (g):

The 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 title of that portion of the US Code? "Respect for flag".

I`d never except something like this from a man like GWB.
Weird.

I think that rule only applies to an official and registered flag, not one sold at a gas station for 99¢. I may be wrong, but that is my guess.

That is an intriguing comment, Larry. Which flags actually carry the symbolic value and which don't ?

To emphasize the question : if someone somewhere burns a flag similar to the one M. Bush wrote onto, would you feel angry ... ?

My reading of the flag code says no such thing *shrug*

Edit:
Also if he had done this withing the District of Columbia he would be subject to a $100 fine and/or 30 days in jail

What red-blooded American is going to object to a tall buxom lady in a flag swimsuit though? I can conviently forget the flag code for such a sight.
