The True Meaning of Christmas 2008

[grantcart]

The true meaning of Christmas this year is that there are only 25 days 8 hours 5 minutes 23 seconds before they take the nuclear launch codes away from George Bush.

Amazingly as if he wanted us to remind us how lucky we are that in doing his Peter Sellers impression he didn't accidentally send a couple of 'big birds' into the sky is this story on how he had to take back a pardon made yesterday. Just think how difficult it would be to take back a nuclear launch.

Following yet another Presidential 'Oopsie', Bush successfully retrieves Pardon, thanks God it wasn't a nuclear launch.

WASHINGTON — President Bush changed his mind on Christmas Eve, pulling back a pardon he had extended a day earlier to a Brooklyn developer at the center of a Long Island real estate fraud case and adding a bizarre twist to the episode.




The developer, Isaac R. Toussie, who was listed Tuesday as one of the beneficiaries of the president’s constitutional power to wipe away a criminal record, is not being pardoned “based on information that has subsequently come to light,” the White House said late Wednesday afternoon.

The terse White House statement did not elaborate, but officials familiar with the case said that presidential aides — and perhaps President Bush himself — were concerned about appearances, because Mr. Toussie’s father, Robert, donated $28,500 to the Republican National Committee last April, for what apparently was his first political contribution. He also donated $2,300 to the presidential campaign of Senator John McCain.

Only the headline is fiction, the rest is fact.
