Right Outraged Over White House Hedda Lettuce Christmas Tree Ornament
Right Outraged Over White House Hedda Lettuce Christmas Tree Ornament

snip:
Showing that they are not out of step with mainstream America after all, the extreme right wing has shifted its focus from health care reform and taxes to raise the alarm about a menace that lurks even now in the White House: Christmas tree ornaments that sport the likenesses of Mao Tse Tung and drag performer Hedda Lettuce.

People and groups from around the country submitted the tree’s decorations, and the tree, along with the rest of the White House’s decorations, supervised by England-born Simon Doonan, the creative director of Barney’s department store in New York.

4. Man! Are they addicted to rage or what?!
It must be terrible to have a moment of peace or contentment. They must run out and find something to give them a rage fix.

I'm only half kidding here... It's kind of scary and reminds me of the movie 'I Am Legend' with all those pissed off virus infected people.

6. I thought it was a "SCHUMAN FARMS HEAD OF LETTUCE" joke.
You know, when it's frosty in the refrigerator, it might seem to say:

SC HUMAN
FARMS HEAD
OF LETTUCE

10. They're so right. We should all just decorate our trees with multiple
identical Baby Jesus (TM) ornaments.
