Andrew Sullivan takes a break from the Vanity Fair fuss to point to Sarah “I’m a runner” Palin in Runner’s World. The photo above is from photographer Brian Adams’ slide show.
Sullivan quotes a Dish reader:
It’s not proper to display the flag to have it draped over a chair. Just imagine the outrage on Fox News if there was a photo of Obama and an improper display of the Stars and Stripes!
He points to an online guide to flag etiquette “which Palin clearly violates” and observes:
I’m not a stickler for this kind of thing, and don’t think it’s that big a deal, but many are, especially Palinites. And my reader is right. If Obama had done this, it would be non-stop on Fox.
Do we agree?
