No, he wasn't caught in a stiff breeze and got wrapped in a flag. He actually signed a small American flag after a speech and is now involved in a flap over defacing our national symbol. Seems you can't sign a flag. I might understand that better if the flag wasn't already all over everything from book covers (which get written on) to stamps (which get stamped in a machine).

This is probably an impeachable offense. At least now the Democrats have a "real" issue with Bush, and not all the contrived ones they've been trying to run with.

BUSH IN FLAG FLAP
George W. Bush has hit controversy as a picture has surfaced showing the president signing a well-wisher's hand-held American flag--a direct violation of the Federal Flag Code .
According to the law, "[t]he flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."
The President was meeting and greeting supporters on July 23, 2003 at Beaver Aerospace and Defense in Livonia, Michigan where the alleged transgression occured.
A side note about the flag flap: "Any rule or custom pertaining to the display of the flag of the United States of America, set forth herein, may be altered, modified, or repealed, or additional rules with respect thereto may be prescribed, by the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, whenever he deems it to be appropriate or desirable; and any such alteration or additional rule shall be set forth in a proclamation."
This is probably an impeachable offense. At least now the Democrats have a "real" issue with Bush, and not all the contrived ones they've been trying to run with.
