Just one more kvetch, maybe

Okay, commenter Carrie points out that Ms. DS has a post up complaining about Julie Myers, Assistant Secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In typical Debbie fashion, she is bitching because she doesn't like Julie's jewelry.
It seems that DS is under the extremely mistaken impression that the pin she is wearing is a "Mexican Eagle", not an American Eagle.

Well, aside from the fact that Mexico is in North America and therefore "American", it looks like Ms. DS is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Carrie actually left a comment on Debbie's post pointing out the fact that it is a Liberty Eagle pin, sold at the Library of Congress Gift Shop.

That is great investigative commenting, Carrie!

And naturally, Ms. DS is not correcting her post, even though the truth is obvious.

I know, who the hell cares about the jewelry someone wears - jewelry and clothes do *not* make a person.

But I do care about accuracy, and I think that in the interest of truth, these stupid errors and wrong conclusions should be pointed out.

Sorry, Ry - can't help it. Someone gives me some material, I'm gonna go with it!

Update: My handsome spouse, John, has discovered one of Carrie's original comments on Debbie Schlussel's post. He has also made a copy of the comment that Joanne Jacobs left there. You can find them both here.
