A Dubya Christmas



We cannot cover all the subjects of Christmas without paying tribute to our fearless leader, can we? Christmas at the White House is always such a wonderful PR opportunity. And the way Dubya and those around him are blowing their opportunities just gives me more funny stuff to share with you.

If Dubya wants to play Santa Claus, he COULD focus on the soldiers on two fronts who would like to be with their families for Christmas, the millions of American who have no health insurance, plus those who have no job or else no job security, those who cannot afford to grow old, and those who still cannot go home to NOLA, and lets not forget the wildlife that just wants to survive. Then there's that pesky Bill of Rights thing.

White House Christmas cards. These are jokes, of course, but Dubya has gotten into trouble with his own base by sending out Christmas cards that say Happy Holidays. How offensive can you get? No, the question is how offended can you get! It just goes to show there are people nuttier than our prez.

BUSH LEGAL TEAM SUES SANTA CLAUS
By S. Artist Reuters

AUSTIN, TX (Dec. 4) - Attorneys for Texas Governor George W. Bush filed suit in federal court today, seeking to prevent Santa Claus from making his list and then checking it twice. The complaint seeks an immediate injunction against the beloved Christmas icon, asking the court to effectively ban his traditional practice of checking the list of good boys and girls one additional time before packing his sleigh.

The suit, filed in the Federal District Court of Austin, Texas, asks a federal judge to "hereby order Mr. Claus to cease and desist all repetitive and duplicative list-checking activity, and certify the original list as submitted, without amendment, alteration, deletion, or other unnecessary modification."

"There are no standards for deciding who is naughty, and who is nice. It's totally arbitrary and capricious. How many more times does he need to check? This checking, checking, and re-checking over and over again must stop now," said former Secretary James Baker.

Baker further claimed that unnamed GOP observers witnessed an elf removing all boys named Justin from the 'nice' list, filing them under 'naughty' instead because "everyone knows all boys named Justin are brats."

Gov. Bush cited the potential for unauthorized list tampering, and blasted what he called the "crazy, crazy mess up there at the North Pole."

"Their security is really awful, really bad," said Bush. "My mother just walked right in, told 'em she was Mrs. Claus. They didn't check her ID or nothing."

Meanwhile, Dick Cheney, Gov. Bush's running mate, issued a direct plea to St. Nick himself. "Mr. Claus, I call on you to do the honorable thing, and quit checking your list. The children of the world have had enough. They demand closure now," Cheney said, adding that his granddaughter has already selected a name for the pony she's asked for.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson was quick to respond to this latest development with plans to lead his protesters from Florida to the North Pole via dogsled. The "Million Man Mush" is scheduled to leave Friday. "We need red suits and sleighs, not law suits and delays," Jackson said.

Santa Claus could not be reached for comment, but an spokeself said he was "deeply distressed" by news of the pending legal action against him.

"He's losing weight, and he hasn't said 'Ho Ho' for days," said the spokeself. "He's just not feeling jolly."

A weary nation can relate.





Christmas Time in Washington

The Supreme Court ruled there cannot be a Nativity scene in Washington, D.C. this Christmas. This isn't for any religious or constitutional reason, they simply have not been able to find three wise men and a virgin in the nation's capitol. There was no problem however finding enough asses to fill the stable.







BUSH ISSUES OFFICIAL LIST OF THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR


In a special radio address broadcast from the White House, President George W. Bush asked his fellow Americans to join him in giving thanks for the following things:

"My fellow Americans, let's be thankful for global warming, because as these winter months approach, it makes the world such a nice, toasty place.
"Let's be thankful to Brownie for doing such a good job, even if he doesn't have it anymore.
"Let's be thankful that we live in a place like America and not in a place like China where the doors are really tricky to open.
"Let's be thankful that even though my approval numbers are falling, they're still higher than my grades at Yale.
"Let's be thankful for Sony PlayStation Portable, which really helps you get through those long Cabinet meetings when they're going on and on about the economy.
"Let's be thankful that the year's almost over and I've managed to avoid talking to Cindy Sheehan.
"Let's be thankful that John Kerry waited until a year after the election to start saying smart things about Iraq.
"Let's be thankful to Rep. "Mean Jean" Schmidt (R-Ohio) for saying, 'Cowards cut and run, but the brave serve in the Alabama National Guard.'
"Let's be thankful that in nine months it will be August and then I can go on summer vacation again.
"Let's be thankful that we have such courageous men and women working at the CIA, and that we all know their names.
"And finally, my fellow Americans, let's be thankful that, even though we still haven't brought Osama bin Laden to justice, we did finally get Robert Blake."
