"Happy 'Holiday' Season" - George and Laura Bush

the 'quotes' on 'holiday' are mine...

yeah, yeah... i said yesterday that if i saw one more post about the "war on christmas" i was going to be physically sick and here i go, posting another one myself... sorry, but i read this and just sat there shaking my head over the absolute inanity, to say nothing of the wasted energy, of this phony campaign stirred up by fox, o'reilly and gibson...

This month, as in every December since he took office, President Bush sent out cards with a generic end-of-the-year message, wishing 1.4 million of his close friends and supporters a happy "holiday season."

[...]

Bush "claims to be a born-again, evangelical Christian. But he sure doesn't act like one," said Joseph Farah, editor of the conservative Web site WorldNetDaily.com. "I threw out my White House card as soon as I got it."

Religious conservatives are miffed because they have been pressuring stores to advertise Christmas sales rather than "holiday specials" and urging schools to let students out for Christmas vacation rather than for "winter break."

i concluded yesterday's post this way, well worth, imho, a re-run...
listen very, very carefully and then repeat after me - THERE IS NO F'ING WAR ON CHRISTMAS...! got it...? ready...? THERE IS NO F'ING WAR ON CHRISTMAS...!!
