Where Can I Get One Of Those Fitzmas Chocolate Calendars?
Y'know... the kind like you had when you were a kid.

After each indictment, resignation, or turn of state's evidence,
you punch out the flap on the head of each administration official
(pictured) to uncover a special treat!

On the last day of Fitzmas, you are left with either Bush or Cheney.

I think it would make a great holiday gift...

12. They got Advent calendars too
for the month before Xmas.

I bet Muslims have something similar during the month of Ramadan.

15. Oh, heh, yeah. I forgot about the Advent calendar.
It being nearly forty years since I actually held one in my hands.

8. an Advent calendar, of course,
I'm interested that with you it came out in German. It's well known as an Advent calendar in England, i guess it must be a big thing in Germany too!

18. the Arnold Schwarzenneger version?
das AB-vent kalendar, nein? :evilgrin:

Hmm, let's see what would be the treat for each figure associated with the administration --

Rush -- a little chocolate jar of oxycontin

Tenet -- a chocolate basketball hoop

Colin Powell -- chocolate vial of anthrax

Laura -- chocolate pickle

Karl Rove -- chocolate handcuffs

Libby -- chocolate scooter

B** -- chocolate chainsaw? (for clearing brush in Angola prison) :evilgrin:
