The GingRICH who stole Romney's Christmas...cartoon idea

No one's done this yet?

There he is, Santy GingRICH, dressed in red and white Santa apparel with a big bag of money and maps of Iowa slung on his back, trying to stuff himself down the chimney on top of a huge mansion (Romney's house) with the scene below inside the house at the hearth with dirt and soot coming from the fireplace while Romney stands in his p.j.s. beside the Christmas tree, anxiously awaiting Santa Claus's entry, wringing his hands and asking himself: "What is Santa Claus bringing me this year?"

Back to the roof: Beside the sleigh up on the roof (ho! ho! ho!) with GingRICH are his newest, best pals, Herman, Sarah, Michele dressed as elves, jumping up and down, screaming "Hurry up, Santa GingRICH, we don't have much time. Next stop: Iowa!"

Falling off the roof into the snow is, of course, Guvnor (sic) Perry, and desperately trying to crawl back on the roof is Jon Huntsman. Where is Ron Paul? Stuck in the snow and screaming something. Ditto Trump.

Maybe this is two cartoon ideas.

Santa Claus at the Washington Post

Is it just me or what's with the Washington Post and the Tysons Corner Santa Claus?

I mean, huh?

Three front page stories (of the Metro section)for three consecutive days, bam, bam, bam about a displaced, fired Santa at the Mall?

What? You've got to be kidding.

Is the Santa, whom the Post "saved" and who now has been rehired due to the publicity, the promotion, the free space, the video, the audio, the negative stories about the mean ole Mall in the newspaper, maybe, the uncle, the father, the brother, the partner of a top staff member at the Post?

Or, is this "happy news" the Post is producing to reduce even more losses of younger readers? You tell me. I mean, really, I thought I was reading a "Parade" edition of an "international" newspaper.

Have interns taken over? The Post's reduction in staff is telling.

What's up, Santa?

Feliz Navidad!
