Pelosi to Light Capitol's Energy-Efficient Christmas Tree @ 5:10 pm by Hill Staff
This year's U.S. Capitol Christmas tree will bring the gift of light–energy-efficient light–to Washington, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office (D-Calif.) said Monday.
Pelosi's office said the Speaker, joined by the Montana's congressional delegation and governor, will participate in a ceremony Tuesday, December 2 to light the tree, a 70-foot subalpine fir from a Montana national forrest.
The tree won't be the only "green" component in the Christmas celebration, though. The tree will be decorated with energy-efficient LED lights, part of the Capitol's efforts to conserve energy.
The lighting ceremony will take place at 5 p.m. on the West Front of the Capitol.
Soft in the head.......
UH-OH!!! Her evironazi friends will not be happy with her. They are using a real tree.
You know where I would like to put that tree, Miss Pelosi? LOL
After doing this she will paint the town red.
Will they burn it after the holidays?
her secular friends are upset that she celebrates a religious holiday on public grounds.
I hadn’t thought of that.
Xmas on purpose, nothing Christmas about it.
I pictured her suddenly hearing the word “TIMBERRRRRRRRRRRRR!”
Of course, since the media won't cover it, I guess it doesn't happen.
Typical liberal, do as I say, not as I do.
First, what is a forrest? Second, How did they get a 70 foot tree from Montana to DC? Time to go fire up my V8s to celebrate the carbon savings.
“UH-OH!!! Her evironazi friends will not be happy with her. They are using a real tree.”
and from a NATIONAL FOREST at that.
I’m glad that at least Reid and Pelosi and Biden have some religious faith; that the Obama voters still passed prop 8 in CA.
Obama on the other hand probably really is an atheist, like his mother.
“UH-OH!!! Her evironazi friends will not be happy with her. They are using a real tree.”
and from a NATIONAL FOREST at that.”...
...and transported by (heaven forbid!!!) a diesel-powered truck ALL the way from Montana!!! This tree has one heckuva “carbon footprint”....surely we could have gone without in these times of economic and environmental DEPRESSION!!!!
What morons they are...and they expect us to believe they aren’t....whadda joke.
Is this the same as the National Christmas Tree? I thought the lighting ceremony was conducted by the President.
I wonder how much those LED lights cost?
I hope she doesn’t break a bulb. She may consider running fast.
Come on electrocution,....daddy needs a new pair of shoes!
I thought that was President Bush’s job.
