The right wing is freaking out because President George W. Bush's holiday cards aren't Christian enough to pass their litmus test. They are steaming because the cards say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christians." All I can say to this absurd "controversy" is HO-HO-HO.
Bush "claims to be a born-again, evangelical Christian. But he sure doesn't act like one," Joseph Farah, editor of the conservative Web site WorldNetDaily.com, told The Washington Post. "I threw out my White House card as soon as I got it."
A spokeswoman for Laura Bush said while the first couple celebrates Christmas themselves, they wanted an inclusive greeting to be respectful of other traditions. What the hell is wrong with these fundamentalists? Do they not understand that other people also live in this country? In any case, they certainly know how to take the joy out of Christmas.

I hate to say it, but Bush scores a point there. He must have known this bizarre controversy of Christmas over Holidays is going on, yet he prints 'Happy Holidays'. Quite right.

Believe me, were it not for christmas, no card wishing "Happy Holidays" to anyone would have been forthcoming. The political correctness is just window dressing. Maybe he'll learn a lesson from all this, that the right wing bigotry and zealotry that he's allowed free range to wreak havoc on our rights has a more sinister agenda that is out of control, no thanks to him.
