Delay abuses the flag

Tom Delay is using the image of a flag at half mast to illustrate his statement about Terry Schiavo on his website. Really, this guy is just incredible. Doesn't he know what the flag at half mast means? There are laws that govern how and when the flag is to be flown at half mast. It is done by the order of Presidents and Governors.

Forget for a moment that Delay's statement actually threatens the judges that ruled, unanimously, in favor of pulling Schiavo's feeding tube. Consider that Delay is conflating Terry Schiavo with a principal figure of the United States Government, the Governor of a State, territory, or possession or a foreign dignitary. That is somehow an apt exclamation point on the unseemly orgy of Fundy Republican propaganda that has just been schmeered across our national conscience via the shell of a human that used to be Terry Schiavo. Of course, it's just business as usual for Delay. He debases all things American by just showing up to work. What a putz.
