Pledge Fail
Some days are harder than others for sanctimonious patriots:
Kicking off today’s tea party press conference/protest at the Capitol, Missouri Republican Rep. Todd Akin urged the crowd to join him in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it “drives the liberals crazy.”

Akin skipped right over the next word – “indivisible” – before stumbling into “with liberty and justice for all.”
In 2004, Akin proposed the Pledge Protection Act, to keep federal courts from ruling on its constitutionality.
