White House Won't Hang Christmas Impeachment Ornament

That controversial ornament calling for President Bush's impeachment? Won't hang in the White House after all.

"Oh, dear," said Seattle-based artist Deborah Lawrence, who created the red and white ornament that salutes Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) and his support for a resolution to impeach the president. "This doesn't really surprise me. But it's disappointing that I won't get to see it on the tree."

Wow, when I first saw this I was confused, but as I red the acompanying article, it made more sense. Still a strange sign of the times, and a few years too late to really mean much. It is amazing how many people have gotten on the 'impeachment' bandwagon once it was taken off the table in 2006.

I wish I could find more solid sources about the ornament... One of them describes the ornament story going 'viral'... yeah, I guess, to a degree.

Never heard of this story before.

Not surprising though. Surely nobody thought that kind of ornament would make the cut?

Then again....

It was going to make the cut until they released the press releases about it.

At least that is what it seems to me.

Their own press drew too much attention before it was hung.
