Bob Novak pretty much put us on notice a couple weeks ago that the White House and the RNC were going to make a habit of using uniformed military personnel as props at Republican political rallies. This despite the fact that it is a plain violation of military regulations banning politicization of the armed forces. <br><br>Now, with Rep. Marilyn Musgrave's (R-CO) event in Colorado we seem to have the first actual example of it.<br><br>My gut tells me this isn't the only one. But in the nature of things the notations of it will show up only in local papers, well under the radar of the national press. So I'm curious whether folks have seen examples of similar things happening in their own districts. If you've seen examples, let us know. <br><br><br><br><br>-- Josh Marshall <br><br><br>This document is available online at this url. <br><br><br><br>Send Tips or Comments to TPM. <br><br>ARCHIVE: <br><br>- March 5-March 11, 2006 Talking Points -<br>- February 26-March 4, 2006 Talking Points -<br>- February 19-February 25, 2006 Talking Points -<br>- February 12-February 18, 2006 Talking Points -<br>- February 5-February 11, 2006 Talking Points -<br>- January 29-February 4, 2006 Talking Points -<br>- January 22-January 28, 2006 Talking Points -<br>- January 15-January 21, 2006 Talking Points -<br>- January 8-January 14, 2006 Talking Points -<br>- January 1-January 7, 2006 Talking Points -<br><br><br>Click here to view the full archive<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
