Merry Bloody Christmas

Will the Right wing ever grow up? While the country fights a real war ( though, the mission was allegedly accomplished quite some time ago.) the blathering elite, largely on Fox News and AM radio, have created a diversion out of whole clothe. They control the White House, and they yank the media around like an insolent dog on a leash. The Right Wing ideologues are at the peak of power - and yet, nothing is quite so satisfying as pretending to be a victim. So the evangelical Right and their squawk squad are now out in force attacking a problem that simply does not exist. Here is a quote lifted from Crooks and Liars referring to a horrific indignity: the White House yearly mass mailing is says "Holiday" instead of "Christmas".

"This clearly demonstrates that the Bush administration has suffered a loss of will and that they have capitulated to the worst elements in our culture," said William A. Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights

Yup, that's right - the "worst elements in our culture" are those who say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. Sorry I missed that. I thought maybe War Profiteers or child molesters might rank...
