So now Pat Boone can shit on the flag?

Stupid white boy department: Perpetual cheeseball Pat Boone, addressing the Heritage Foundation recently:

Boone’s speech took a somber turn when discussing the malaise and apathy of today’s youth. Tears began to fall as Boone lamented: “It grieves me the way young entertainers are deriding our leaders.”

Boone’s “Moody River” continued, as he castigated Simon Cowell of “American Idol” for lacking compassion and denounced the desecration of the American flag, saying “You deface a dollar bill and it’s illegal, but I can defecate on this flag, as many have, and that’s OK.”

Funny how he's referred to as a 'soul singer', considering he must be one of the whitest singers on the planet. But at least he's hip to the hip-hop:

Finally, noting that there were songs written for the Army, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, but none for the National Guard, Boone said he took the chore upon himself, penning “For Our Country: The Ballad of the National Guard.” He said, “Bruce Springsteen didn’t do it. Nelly, Eminem and Diddy and Piddy and Poopy and whoever the other rappers are didn’t — so I did.” And then he sang it.
