From: Louis Proyect <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>During the cold war Western pop culture forever depicted Soviet officials as preposterous figures in medal-bedecked business suits. Funny how all the ostentatious patriotic hardware is now appearing on American chests. Saw Bush and Powell meeting with Putin on TV the other night and was amused to see that both Bush and Powell were wearing flag pins on their lapels but Putin was not.
Last night after returning from the tasty horror film "The Ring", I turned on Charlie Rose and witnessed a real horror. Nancy Pelosi, who I've never seen before, was holding forth on the Democratic Party's prospects. On her lapel was the largest and most garish American flag pin I've ever seen on a politician.
