Did you know that last year President and Mrs. Bush were the FIRST presidential couple to put ANY scriptural reference on their card at all?

Is miss marple selling woof tickets?
I thought you said this year's card having a bible verse was the first ever for that.
And I pointed out that:
She never said that.
You now ask me to interpret this from Miss Marple:
Did you know that last year President and Mrs. Bush were the FIRST presidential couple to put ANY scriptural reference on their card at all?
Last year refers to the previous year to this one. We are in the year 2002 and last year was 2001. So when Miss Marple said that last year, the first Christmas of George W. Bush's presidency, was the first time a scriptural reference was put on a WH Christmas card, that means she did not say, as you asserted in the first portion above, that *this year* was the first year such a thing had occurred.
See?
I thought you said this year's card having a bible verse was the first ever for that. I'd assumed you were trying to be accurate. What's up with that?
What I said:
Did you know that last year President and Mrs. Bush were the FIRST presidential couple to put ANY scriptural reference on their card at all?
I hope this clarifies your confusion.
