23. I think we're all forgetting "flagpin-gate"?

That horrible time in our nation's history when the president forgot to signal his patriotism by wearing a flagpin on his lapel? Oh, God, the flashbacks I'm having just thinking about it. Because as we all know, being all flagged up is the one and only thing that distinguishes the patriots from the terrorists.

OMG, and remember the "terrorist fist-bump" with Michelle?

How did we ever survive?
