Issa: Acorn pastry a 'bad, yet tasty' choice

Republican Congressman Darrell Issa (Calif.) discovered what he said was some not-so-holiday symbolism in the food served at the White House's Christmas party Monday night.

Tweeted Issa:

So I got this at the White House Christmas party last night: ACORNs may have been a bad, yet tasty, choice. #tcot http://twitpic.com/sodgv

The attached photo is that of an acorn-shaped pastry -- which Issa, on first glance, linked to the community organizing group ACORN.

However, Issa's tweet is not totally surprising. He fiercely opposes ACORN, he has spearheaded a number of efforts to cut off its federal dollars and he has even previously described it as a "criminal enterprise."

Looks like an ACORN to me, too. Left wing manipulation at a White House Christmas Party. Well at least they are calling them Christmas parties. I suppose we should be glad of that.
