So... ABC News believes that lapel pins are the true measure of patriotism.

Fashion accessories are so crucial that we must abort our recent diversions into trivial side issues like Iraq and the economy, and instead refocus on our candidates' lapels.

I use different criteria for judging patriotism. This is how things look to me:

Charles Gibson hates America.

George Stephanopoulos hates America.

ABC News hates America.
