In an astounding act of pandering, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has joined the likes of California Senator Dianne Feinstein by co-sponsoring a bill that would ban flag burning, although unlike Feinstein she is opposed to a constitutional ban on the act. The bill, introduced by the Republican Senator, Bob Bennett of Utah, would prohibit:

• Destroying a flag with the intent of causing violence;

• Threatening someone by burning a flag;

• Damaging a flag that is federally owned or that belongs to someone else on federal land.

While not quite as deranged and insidious as the constitutional amendment proposed by Feinstein, the notion of a woman whose husband desecrated the Office of the United States Presidency by receiving a blowjob in the Oval Office from a young intern, and ejaculating on her dress, is simply absurd. If one is to follow the Clinton example of protecting symbols, one can safely assume that burning the flag is forbidden, but using it as a cloth to wipe off adulterous semen is perfectly okay.
