Merry Chrismukkah From The White House

You know, in a sad and ironic way I'm going to miss President Bush. The man has a gift of gaffe that makes Joe Biden look rhetorically poised.

The White House mailed invitations to American Jewish Leaders for an upcoming Hanukkah celebration with the President and First Lady, requesting "the pleasure of your company at a Hanukkah reception".

Sweet sentiments, indeed. The issue here, however, is the picture on the front of the card.

It was a Christmas card, complete with an image of a Clydesdale horse-drawn cart carrying a Christmas tree, and a Christmas wreath-adorned White House in the background.

I wonder if Santa Claus will appear at the party to light the Menorah and serve up fried latkes.

Oye vey.
