Inhofe refuses to participate in 'holiday' parade

[douglas9]

WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe said Tuesday that he won't participate in Tulsa's Holiday Parade of Lights until organizers put "Christ" back in the event's title.

"Last year, the forces of political correctness removed the word 'Christmas' and replaced it with 'Holiday' instead," the Oklahoma Republican said. "I am deeply saddened and disappointed by this change."

Inhofe, who was Tulsa's mayor from 1978 to 1984, said he had participated in the parade annually, riding a horse as his children and grandchildren watched.

"I did not do so last year because I'm not going to ride in a Christmas parade that doesn't recognize Christmas," he said. "I am hopeful that the good people of Tulsa and the city's leadership will demand a correction to this shameful attempt to take Christ, the true reason for our celebration, out of the parade's title. Until the parade is again named the Christmas Parade of Lights, I will not participate."

2. He told them!

Maybe the good people of Tulsa (Home to Oral Roberts University) want to include everyone who has a holiday in their parade. Let Imhofe sit home alone and sulk.

3. And the good people of Tulsa breath a collective sigh of relief that their plan worked.

Less of Inhofe is always a great addition to any holiday.

Would it work?

8. So he rode a horse

what does that have to do with Christmas unless you refer to the horse's ass then true Mary rode the ass to Bethlehem - A bit of a stretch but appropriate for this horse's ass!

9. Ok, you self-righeous bag of dicks, how about this

Tulsa'a "Fucking Christ, James Inhofe is an insufferable prick" Parade of Lights.

Will that work for you?

10. LOL. The parade is sponsored by McNellie's Pub.

Very much like when Jesus was born, where the wise men were actually consultants from Booz Allen Hamilton.
