It started out with this statement...
As John has been saying for the last several days, this is a time when we take off our Republican hats and put on our American hats...
A noble gesture. Contribute if you can. I know times are tough.
But as I look at the crowd, those are the cheapest pieces of (cough) 'American' hats I ever saw!
More below the fold...
I searched online to see if anyone else had noticed the plastic hats. The Associated Press has this article which says:
Plastic hats dotted the landscape...
It's time to put on our American hats.
Plastic American hats.
They look like white boaters at a distance, but up close they're no more convincing than a kid's plastic sword looks like a real sword. I bet they were made outside the US. I'm willing to bet $5 they were made in China.
Please: someone in St. Paul look at these 'American' hats and tell us where they were made. I want to know if these truly ARE "American hats".
