The lack of airtime given to these politicians (except on Fox) just proves that there is, indeed, a war on Christmas. Happy belated War on Christmas Day, everyone!

Um, excuse me, but most of us only get Christmas Day and New Years Day off from work. I'm having a hard time mustering any sympathy for Congress-people who might actually have to do the same.

Originally Posted By Labuda Well, the House just passed it, too... 206 good votes and 60 jerk votes. So, this is now headed to the President, too. Bout damned time!
Originally Posted By Labuda Oh, and the asshat who's my rep didn't even vote, along with 167 other reps.
