White House: We didn t know Mao was on our Christmas ornaments.

http://hotair.com/archives/2009/12/2...mas-ornaments/

Excerpt:

Why let a holiday season come between the White House and making some political statements? The White House pegged controversial designer Simon Doonan to oversee the Christmas decorations for the White House. Mr. Doonan, who is creative director of Barney’s New York has often caused a stir with his design choices. Like his naughty yuletide window display of Margaret Thatcher as a dowdy dominatrix and Dan Quayle as a ventriloquist’s dummy. For this year’s White House, he didn’t disappoint.

These photos of ornaments on the White House Christmas tree in the Blue Room were taken just days ago. Of course, Mao has his place in the White House.

More likely, the WH special ordered the ornaments to honor Mao.

Good ol' fashioned American values on display at the White House...

Ooops...I'm sorry...I forgot..."old fashioned American values" is code for racist KKK member, according to my "Life as a Left-Winger" handbook...my bad....

Does Obama spell it "Amerika?"

What would be a comparable Bush faux pas that would have had the left here (in their heyday anyway) posting like mad?

I wonder if they have faces appearing on the toilet paper that is used in the White House. I wonder whose faces those might be.
