Technically, they screwed up the Hanukkah cards, it would have been a perfect christmas one

Non-story. Overzealous sarapher.

Just to make up for it, they should send out Wiccan holiday cards to the Christians ;)

Proving once again why they will be missed, the Bush White House screws up the Christmas cards Hanukkah cards.

Please be a Barbara Jr. nipple slip.

Was said card attached to a holiday ham?

McDonough added that the White House had received "dozens" of calls of support from members of the Jewish community to express their appreciation for what President and Mrs. Bush had done for them through the course of Mr. Bush's presidency.

I know Jewish people tend to vote Democratic, but Republican Jews are down to double digits? Ouch!

George Bush doesn't care about Jewish people.

trouzourt: maybe he is finally telling the joos that they are not welcomed?

Finally? After decades of the Republicans hanging out with Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and James Dobson? After hearing "America is a Christian nation" from GOP mouthpieces for years and years? After hearing Ann Coulter describe Jews as "imperfect Christians"? After hearing how so many Republicans think that Jews are a neccesity so that they can all move back to Israel and be destroyed by the return of Jesus? After the GOP so happilly embraced Andy "I understand the Holocaust cuz the Jews are easy to hate" Martin simply because he had bad things to say about Barack Obama?

I got the message a while ago.

Once again, incompetence trumps maelevolence.

Give a Skull a break. He has to have difficulty finding help anymore and never really could hire effectively.

oy vey, what a putz

Hmmmm...you a Skull or a Deke?

Seeing how subby screwed up the headline worse than the ehite house screwed up the cards (seriously--a winter scene that has a Chrismas tree in the back of a trailer in the corner?) I'd say this qualifies as a non-story.

oh the delicious ironing

First White House Chrismukkah cards accidentally sent

I hate that word. And in this case, it's improperly used. "Chrismukkah" implies that they intended to celebrate both, while the recipients in the story are decidedly Jewish.

I bet that jackass pardons Kinkos and they get off scott free. God I hate America. Land of the "free" my ass!

DOWN WITH MAIL

So, I'm not clear on how wreaths and a tree are offensive. Aren't they both pagan symbols of life? Somebody spell this out for me.

Oooh baby.

As long as they don't serve this at the banquet

This is the first counterstrike in the War on Christmas! Now is the time, my Christian brothers! Take up your arms and we will smite the godless Hebrew wherever they live!

_{/Or at least ask them for a campaign contribution...}

Missed by whom, exactly?

choice and consequence: So, I'm not clear on how wreaths and a tree are offensive. Aren't they both pagan symbols of life? Somebody spell this out for me.

Offensive? No.

Stupid to put them on an invitation to a Channukah party? Definitely.

trouzourt: maybe he is finally telling the joos that they are not welcomed?

no, not that, just to convert.

Godscrack:

Where the hell did that come from?

That's nothing. Just wait until the President-Elect starts inviting people over for Eid ul-Fitr.

It's better than I expected. I wouldn't have been surprised if they had an easter bunny on them.

Shalom biatches.

Bad_Seed: That's nothing. Just wait until the President-Elect starts inviting people over for Eid ul-Fitr.

Win.

I was waiting for some Kwanzaa joke, but you win instead.

Schmendrick.

i couldn't imagine somebody like osama bin laden understanding the joy of hanukkah.

All part of the war on Hanukkah .

It's a Hanukkah tree.

Ah yes. My favorite time of the year! All the religions (and anti-religious) start bickering over why their bastardization of the winter solstice is the only true bastardization of the winter solstice.

Freaking Saturnalians. "Wicked Solstice" (said in a Boston accent version of wikahhd) is the appropriate term.

At least it's not as bad as the time he sent a Ramadan Ham to his Muslim friends.

We need to have an exorcism to remove all the demons of stupidity after the Bushes leave.

Here's the text since article was nuked...


Whoops! A picture of a Christmas tree is not the first thing you would expect to see on an invitation to an event celebrating Hanukkah, but that is exactly what recipients of invitations to this year's White House Hanukkah reception initially got in the mail.

The invitation sent to American Jewish leaders on behalf of the President and First Lady, requesting "the pleasure of your company at a Hanukkah reception," bore an image of a Clydesdale horse drawn cart, carrying the White House Christmas tree, with a Christmas wreath-adorned White House in the background.
A card sent to Jewish leaders had a distinctly Yuletide flavor.

Mrs. Bush's press secretary, Sally McDonough, attributed the snafu to a "staff mistake" in not printing separate cards for the different White House holiday events, as has been the custom in years past. "Mrs. Bush is apologetic, It is just something that fell through the cracks," she said, referring to the role of the First Lady's office in sending out the invitations.
