That’s right.  The “greenest convention in history” wasn’t even going to recycle them or anything.  Let alone dispose of them in a manner befitting our national symbol.

This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story.

So the Democrats could ban fried foods, create hybrid-only parking and sell carbon credits at their convention but they couldn’t come up with a way to properly dispose of some American flags?

Classy, Democrats.  Real classy.
