Americans United Asks Jerry Falwell Why He Hasn't Objected To White House's Holiday Greetings

The Rev. Jerry Falwell and his Religious Right cohorts have been complaining for weeks now about government agencies and store clerks saying “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” but it looks like Falwell forgot to tell President George W. Bush, First Lady Laura Bush and the Republican National Committee about the preferred religiously correct greeting.

The White House’s 2005 holiday card is just out, and it doesn’t mention the word “Christmas” once.

The front cover is an artist’s rendition of the White House and grounds covered with snow while the presidential pets, two dogs and a cat, frolic on the lawn. It contains no religious symbolism.

“Have President Bush and the first lady joined the so-called war on Christmas?” asked the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United. “Where are the howls of protest from Jerry Falwell? When will he stand up and save Christmas from this mean-spirited, anti-God attack?”

2. Because he's the Spawn of Satan. Seriously.
As Yogi Berra used to say, "You could look it up."
