Impeach Bush for Christmas: White House Tree Ornament by Erik Larson

A pro-impeachment 9 inch ornament will be hanging on the White House Christmas tree this year. Seattle artist Deborah Lawrence was commissioned to create something for Rep. Jim McDermott's district, so she created a design that celebrates his support for the impeachment of Bush, the most unpopular president in US history, and possibly the most criminal (full investigations needed to determine extent of criminality). While impeachment is not likely to move forward while Congress is under the control of the Republocrats and their corporate backers, I think it's a sure bet that G Duhbya will be getting coal in his stocking this year. Happy Holidays!

The White House has been loathe to discuss any attempts by lefty members of Congress to impeach President Bush, but the final Christmas tree erected during the Bush administration will feature a pro-impeachment message.

The Washington Post's Reliable Source gossip column reports that a Seattle artist submitted an ornament design celebrating Rep. Jim McDermott's support for impeachment.

The globes (to be unveiled by the first lady tomorrow) are supposed to showcase something special about each congressional district. Washington state's Rep. Jim McDermott contacted a local arts organization, which asked Lawrence, a collage artist, to create the local entry.

"I was at first nauseated, then realized it was an opportunity," said [Deborah] Lawrence, 55, who frequently combines politics and satire in her work and saw this as the perfect way "to highlight Jim McDermott because he's a hero of mine."
