GOP Conventioneers Find A Hilarious Way To Dishonor Veterans
Republicans always have the best senses of humor, don't they?
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Delegates to the Republican National Convention found a new way to take a jab at Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's Vietnam service record: by sporting adhesive bandages with small purple hearts on them.
Morton Blackwell, a prominent Virginia delegate, has been handing out the heart-covered bandages to delegates, who've worn them on their chins, cheeks, the backs of their hands and other places.
Blackwell is president of the Leadership Institute, a nonpartisan educational foundation he founded in 1979. According to its Web site, the institute prepares conservatives for success in politics, government and the news media.
Emphasis added by me for obvious reasons, but I digress.
Nothing but class at the GOP Convention, Day One...
Bob "He's right" Dole stepped up to say the following:
"I'm certain there's no possible connection" between the Bush campaign or Republican leaders and the bandages sported Monday night, he said.
Where have I heard that before???
UPDATE: Here's a good graphic to pass around...
