How is this making fun of Poles? It is making fun of Bush. I don’t even see it as anti-Catholic. It is anti-Bush.

Sorry, but I did snicker!

It does show what a low opinion the world has of his intelligence.

Might be interesting to know who manufactured and distributed these cards.

[Arthur McGowan]

The death toll resulting from rioting Catholics stands at: 0

What is this ‘Xmas’?

[mimaw]

Have you seen polls coming out of the UK over the last several years. Have you read comments made by that crackpot archbishop of Canterbury about America? Have you read most of the garbage British newspapers produce on America? The Brits are not our great friends.

Sometimes I think the muslims are right - relating to their reactions to such events.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Some things never change.

In either case, it may be tasteless, but it isn’t worth the lather people are working themselves up to.

Agreed, and unlike liberals and many Muslims I don't go around looking for things that offend me.

Yes. And we have a low view of the world’s intelligence. The look on Laura’s face is even like “you moron!”

The catholic angle is kinda neutral on this one. Very tasteless as a Christmas card particularly. Tasteless because they are using someone’s death to make a Bush joke. But, it’s primarily anti-Bush.

[Labyrinthos]

"It's appalling. Using the image of the deceased Holy Father is a scandal. Muslims protested at the cartoons deriding Muhammad. Why should offending Christians go disregarded?"

Because we are not Muslims.

It is making fun of Bush. I don’t even see it as anti-Catholic. It is anti-Bush.

Thank you. For a while I thought I was the only one that saw the real intent.

Everyone else is caught up in their PC skewed interpretations that they miss the slam of GWB.

[JEC]

Puhleaze, go back to your dimmie whiners.

[Cicero]

The Poles consider JP II, the Polish Pope, to be a great national hero. He not only was a Polish boy who made good, he freed Poland from the Soviets.

It’s anti-Catholic in that it’s disrespectful of the Pope, lying in state after his death.

But I agree, mainly it’s intended to suggest that Bush is stupid. Red suit, Santa, Bush is a little confused about these religious matters.

Although I must say he looks a lot better suited for the occasion than bill clinton next to him with his usual smirk.

All the real men have left the isles?

[RobbyS]

What an idiotic card.

I didn’t know Richard Dawkins has gotten into the greeting card biz!

Lots of Poles now living in Britain. They should know from the war that Poles will take action.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that someone is whining that I should go back to “dimmie whiners”?
