Impeach Bush for Christmas

The White House censored her subversive Christmas tree ornament -- only to spread its anti-Bush cheer.

    Good idea, but it got a bit of an eye roll

    I love that McDermott recommended Deborah Lawrence. I love that Lawrence made the ornament, attended the luncheon, and was wonderfully snarky about the whole thing. You got a major eye roll from me by being shocked they didn't put the ornament on the tree. This isn't a freedom of speech issue. It's a Christmas ornament on a Christmas tree at the White House. Of COURSE they weren't going to use it. I can't believe Lawrence actually expected them to use it.

    But she'd be nuts if she didn't license it. Take the money and make more art or take the money and donate it to homeless charities, but take the money. I'll happily send you some.

    Lastly, if you all really want to get under the skin of the resident righty naysayer, jwnelsonUSA, IGNORE him. Every time someone replies, you're putting a smile on his face. He's the type of troll that does it for the lulz. Ignoring him is the sweetest revenge.
