Bush sends season's greetings to two million of his closest friends

[emad]

The Times
From Roland Watson in Washington



PRESIDENT BUSH is not accustomed to doing things by half-measures and if his Christmas card list is anything to go by he is not about to start.

During the past two weeks envelopes bearing a Crawford, Texas, postmark and a return address of the White House have been landing in mail boxes and on doormats at two million addresses.

Two million is some address book.

This year the President’s parents staged an 80th birthday party for Mr Bush Sr billed as including “more than 5,000 of their closest friends”.

9. Maybe DU members should each send him one at the WH but

not put a samp on the envelope...."Postage due on Receipt"....

3. Bet they had a Ronald Reagan

stamp on them!

4. Guess who's paying for that?

[snippy]

8. After some cuts in Medicare and Social Security Bush should be able to

send even more Christmas cards next year.

5. How do I qualify for the government's free toilet paper program?

6. Season's Greetings? From the world's most outrageous

fundie? No message re: the Baby Jaysus? and his close personal friend, Gawd Amighty?

wait a minute --- are you sure it isn't just

"Greetings" ?

I got a card like that from the prez in '66 (shudder)

I wonder how many of the war victims and families are on that list?

2 million - that could just about cover his condolences list - if he did one.

7. I guess he's getting ready to send requests for donations for his

legal fund.

10. Two millions of his closest friends? Finally something to laugh about.

[gratuitous]

11. Gotta wonder who's on that list . . .

Did Bernie Kerik get a card? How about George Tenet? Colin Powell? Or maybe that minister who was one of his mouthpieces for the tax cut who was indicted recently for messing around with the young girls in his charge?

12. God's in the White House

Worried? Yes, if you're not on God's mailing list, that's cause for concern.

There is no way that Chimp has 2 million close friends. No Way!
