I was just wondering how a lapel pin shows your patriotism? It makes no sense to me. Patriotism is something on the inside of people. If you judge whether someone is patriotic on whether they wear something as miniscule as a lapel pin, then you must have a very distorted version of what patriotism is. If a lapel pin truly does show one's patriotism, then why is it, sir, that you do not wear your lapel pin every day? hey man.. I was just wondering how a lapel pin shows your patriotism?

Kingston: I will wear one and I have worn one. I’ll bring one to your next show. Abrams: But you see my point. I had no idea you were going to show up without a lapel pin, but it seems kind of absurd that you’re saying that Barack Obama’s patriotism should be questioned because he’s not wearing a lapel pin and then you come on the show not wearing one. Kingston: Well Dan, I’m not following that at all. </em> Sounds like a good enough excuse to link to a clip of this hilarious interview:
