Santa Delivers the Constitution to George W. Bush

http://www.ccrjustice.org/news…

“Americans from all over the country – more than 37,000 of them – asked that a copy of the Constitution be delivered to the President in their name and cordially requested that he make time in his busy schedule to read it.

“While I was going over the list of who’s been naughty and nice,” Mr. Claus said, as he prepared for his visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, “I heard from many people who feel the President hasn’t been doing a very good job of upholding his oath to ‘preserve, protect and defend’ the Constitution.”

Responding to an urgent request from the Center for Constitutional Rights, Claus stepped in to bring messages from Americans who felt the President might need a refresher course in the Constitution. Citizens want to remind President Bush that the Constitution forbids torture and spying on Americans without a warrant, requires that prisoners get a fair hearing of the charges against them before a real court and makes the government’s treaty obligations, such the Geneva Conventions, the law of the land.

“These Constitutions will make great holiday reading,” Claus continued. “I want to be sure that the President has plenty of time to look at them before he decides on his New Year’s resolutions.””

Dubya, hit the books!

    Thank you.  

  2. but can he read??

  3. You have to have the exact same social skills now to be a cop outside the White House as a bartender does.  All sorts of rightfully so upset people show up and your job is to hold the room to a certain standard of respectfulness and nonviolence.  I wonder if that has anything to with having a drunk in the oval office 😉

  4. In order for a person to “get it” — they have to “want it.”  Boy George has never been interested in getting it, but it’s a nice gesture on the part of Santa anyway!!!! 😉

  5. I imagine the WH will use these for fireplace fodder.

    Disgusting? Oh yeah, no doubt. But since the recipient is, in all likelihood, illiterate, what’s the point of keeping them?

    Hugs for Santa, though–best gift idea I’ve seen in quite some time 🙂
