Post a Comment*3,000 dead American Military
The Bush family feasts as Iraq burns.
Welcome all or just the ones with big bucks?
i wonder how many starving americans this could possibly feed.
I recieved my invitation last week but returned it in protest - it's an OUTRAGE! ;)~~
5000 Mini Tarts? Last year it was 5001. Oh yah, Rep. Foley will not be attending this year.
c'mon 1:23, let them eat cake...
wow, some of the people on here have such insightful things to say...
whats the matter? no one reads your own blogs so you have to make this one your own?

Yeah.
Give it up, hypocrites. You know you'll drive to work today in a luxury car, go out tonight to an expensive resturant, drink excessively, and go home to a loft apartment you paid way too much for.
If it it was Hillary, it would be a wonderful expression of holiday cheer. Shut your traps. Your hate does nothing.
For all of you griping in these comments about the White House Christmas - I hop you are planning to not recognize and/or celebrate the holidays in any way this year, and are going to return all gifts that you may receive, and will forgo any celebratory dinners with friends and family.
Otherwise, you're all just a bunch of hypocrites that are full of hot air.
You are a hypocrite if you criticize the White House for not sacrificing holiday celebrations when you have no plans to sacrifice them yourself. Give me a break. It must be really nice to be so much better than everyone else just because you think you're morally superior.
So, in addition to passing judgment from your mountaintop, what are you doing about all the perceived injustices besides skipping an extra glass of eggnog?
LOL if you ever see me driving to work in a " luxury car ", you wont be looking at no 'hypocrite' - you'll be looking at a car thief! ( with a job)
Who started a war based on lies?
Who is and has friends who are profitting from this war?
Who failed to assure there was a contingency plan?
Who failed to supply the proper body armor to the miltary and cut veterans benefits?
Who deserves to be dragged off the the Hague and charged with war crimes for advocating the use of torture, and starting an illegal war?
NOW who should be ashamed to feast at a time like this?
It's not ONE party - re-read the original post. The list covers the entire holiday season. It's the White House, fer cripes' sake. There are probably parties every night from now until January, and many (if not all) of them will be attended by *gasp* Democrats as well as Republicans. If it were a Democrat in office there would be just as much spent, if not more. Saying that the war in Iraq should preclude them from entertaining people who, frankly, EXPECT to be fetted, is absolutely ridiculous and short-sighted.
All the hate in here is clouding common sense.
At a time when the Iraq War is costing the taxpayers of the future (our children and grandchildren) $11.9 million an hour, is it too much to ask that nonessentials be trimmed, or is this event really payback for wealthy campaign contributors.
Oh people people! The hate in here is so thick you could cut it with chafing dish! Don't let the liberal media tear us apart. Let us be one big " No Spin Zone" under God. Thank You.
