Sex Sells -- The Wannabe VP Edition

I'm getting a bit serious with today's edition of Sex Sells, because I want to use it to pose a question. This is one of a series [fixed] of photos of Sarah Palin in Runners World magazine (photography by Brian Adams). Now notice how the American flag is treated in this photo. Now imagine that Michelle Obama was posing for such a feature, and the flag was used like this. Now imagine the uproar that we'd be hearing on the Fox News Channel, and Rush Limbaugh, etc. Which leads to the question: why aren't I hearing any uproar about this improper use and display of the flag from these same sources about Ms. Palin?

Doesn't matter who is in the picture. EVERYONE involved with the photo shoot should be slapped in the face with a cactus. Blatant disregard for the respect that is due our Nation's flag. Sorry individuals, the whole lot of 'em.
