Pork Roast at the White House?

In one final slap in the face to the Jewish community, Mr. and Mrs. Bush sent out their Hannukkah party invitations to America’s Jewish leaders with one small oversight. The front of the card, which announces a Hanukkah reception at the White House next month, features a Clydesdale horse hauling a Christmas fir along the snow-dappled drive to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. A close look at the wagon reveals the message "White House Christmas Tree 2008." Oops.

Laura Bush’s spokeswoman, Sally McDonough, said the White House usually prints separate cards, but in the waning days of the presidency, there had been an oversight. "Mrs. Bush is apologetic," she said. "It is something that just slipped through the cracks." Fortunately these are waning days, and in January menorahs will again be recognized as a symbol of the Jewish holiday.

What do you think?

    At least they didn’t make some ridiculous comment such as, “We don’t do Christmas or Hanukkah cards, we have holiday cards we use for all our winter parties.”
