[ 2:06 - from YouTube ]
U.S. Rep. Todd Aiken (Missouri, R) defies irony on numerous levels with aplomb in this Think Progress video at the U.S. Capitol in a Tea Party protest. After a breathy defense of the Pledge of Allegiance, which is under attack by no one, he leads the crowd in the Pledge, cheering "under GOD!" then forgetting the next part: INDIVISIBLE. It is laughably telling, because after all, he is trying to be divisive in a desperate play for relevance through jingoistic bandwagon jumping, instead of leading any actual policy or successful legislation.
