I’ll be glad to lower a flag to half-mast when Hillary goes, and the sooner the better. I’m putting in my order for a Skull and Crossbones pirate flag. I think that would be a fitting one for her.

Obama will get the Hammer and Sickle flag.

Michele will get a banshee flag.

Al Gore will geta Willie the Whale flag.

Bill Clinton will get a telephone pole flag.

Nancy Pelosi will get a moldy pepperoni flag.

And I will give them all the middle finger salute.

Nooh-klee-er

Yeah. Let’s just fly them at half-staff for pop-singers (ie Whitney Houston) per Barry’s watch.

Whitney Houston gave more to America than Barbara Bush ever did.

I was wondering why all the flags are at half-staff?

“I decide if I want to fly half-staff and for whom.”

That’s what I’m thinking. Each flag owner can decide when and how to fly it.

It was actually New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie who ordered flags lowered in his state in honor of Whitney Houston, the Jersey native’s death in 2012. Christie issued the same honor for Yogi Berra, James Gandolfini, and E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons.

“But she has not earned the honor of a half-staff display of the Flag of the United States of America that is flown over Fort Home.

I will light a candle or something for her, but MY flag goes to half-staff for heroes...such as recently deceased MOH awardees, disabled veterans, you know...the ones that REALLY served this country, in a time of need and with much sacrifice.

There is a difference...and I know the difference.”

Agree—half-staff in any other situation devalues the definition of hero.
Thank you for your service.

Don’t worry, we never fly flags at half-mast for executed criminals.

“But when clinton gets her butt thrown in jail and later passes away.”

Hah! You’re assuming an awful lot. First, that she’ll get thrown in jail...second, that she’ll die.

I think God put her on earth to eternally punish us.
