A nice seasonal end this week, and the flipside to the Eleventh Gay of Christmas to boot. I thought the Republican clown car would behave and try not to make asses out of themselves during Christmas week, and for the most part they did. But Mama Crazy, in dire need of some ratings, took the opportunity afforded by the holiday to criticize President Obama yet again. This time it was for the White House Christmas card.

The front of the card shows the Obamas’ dog, Bo, sitting in a very Christmas-like setting, with a fireplace decorated with wreaths and red ribbons, and a table with a poinsettia plant and presents. “From our family to yours, may your holidays shine with the light of the season,” reads the inside of the card, which is signed by the Obamas (including Bo).

Palin feels the card is un-American. “It’s odd,” she said, wondering why the president’s Christmas card highlights his dog instead of traditions like ‘family, faith and freedom.’” Or at least a freshly killed moose. Palin made no mention of the fact that the Obama family’s dog is black.
With regard to the card, she added, “It’s just a different way of thinking coming out of the White House.”

But Palin’s comments were not all negative. She hinted that there may still be a chance that after the next election there will be no thinking coming out of the White House. After previously saying she would not run for the 2012 GOP nomination for president, she said, “It’s not too late for folks to jump in. Who knows what will happen in the future.”

The Newt, who is still the temporary leader of the pack, responded to Palin’s announcement by reminding the country what Christmas is really all about. “Jesus Fucking Christ!” he was heard to mutter.
