| Eli Sanders, The Stranger (Seattle "alternative" newspaper) Boldface in original. h/t Instapundit. . . . There was some time to kill as multiple tallies of the delegates and alternates were done, and when the time-killer of taking audience questions had run its course and the idea of teling jokes had been nixed, someone suggested doing the Pledge of Allegiance to pass the time. (Are you listening, right-wing bloggers? This is going to get good.) At the mere mention of doing the pledge there were groans and boos. Then, when the district chair put the idea of doing the Pledge of Allegiance up to a vote, it was overwhelmingly voted down. One might more accurately say the idea of pledging allegiance to the flag (of which there was only one in the room, by the way, on some delegateÂ’s hat) was shouted down. . . . |

| #2 I wonder if they took up a collection for Baghdad Jimmy? It would've killed that pesky Pledge of Allegiance downtime and I hear he could use a few bucks... |

| #1 Pretty much explains Baghdad Jim McDermoot being reelected. These people hate their own country. |
