“I understand Christmas. I’ve been a senator for a long time.
____________________________________________
Theres something odd about this qualification for expertise on the subject of Christmas...
I just cant figure it out though...
Don’t fret and turn your brain into a pretzel - just remember we’re talking Joe Birdbrain here - “Odd” is the kindest way to describe the verbal hodgepodge emanating from his mouth.
He’s the number two man (sort of) in a very arrogant WH. And arrogance is contagious.
C’mon, TN, he’s used to playing Santa Claus for his constituents! You’re usually quicker than that - must be the eggnog. :-) Have a merry and blessed Christmas.
Colonel, USAFR
Bump!
He forgot the phrase “despite the fact.”
Nothing odd at all. Elected office makes a person an expert in everything, as does cinematic or musical stardom.
Those people can understand Christmas better than you or me. They're our elite overlords and speak authoritatively on all things. Question them at your own peril.
I just cant figure it out though...
It's because he is so completely missing the point.
Add this to the list of things you can’t tell His Lordship, the Duke of Delaware.
You can’t tell him about Catholicism or he’ll ram his rosary beads down your throats.
You can’t tell him that FDR didn’t go on TV in 1939.
You can’t talk to him about the law, because he never shuts up.
I’m not sure but... I think his wife and daughter were killed when they had gone to get a Christmas tree.
Sort of like the Praetorians, scholars and rabbi’s who saw Jesus is not the Christ, because they haven’t blessed/confirmed his presence, and that THEY certainly would know better than the mere mortals.

This is the same jackass who called Bosnians “Bosniacs”. What would you expect?
You are not a Senator or Vice President, therefore you do NOT understand Christmas! (sarc/off)
