Congress Grandstands Over Christmas

Sen. DeMint claims pushing the START vote at Christmas is sacrilegious, while Dems are labeling the GOP's delay on the omnibus anti-Christian. Who cares?

So Senator Jim DeMint said that it was sacrilegious of Senate Democrats to push through the START treaty at Christmas.  Who cares?

Is this any more asinine than to suggest, as the Democrats are currently doing, that failure to pass a pork laden omnibus or extend unemployment insurance is somehow anti-Christian?  Of course not.  Both statements are sub-moronic and people should ignore them rather than wet their pants over them.

Yet Senator DeMint does need correcting on one point.  He said that Christmas "is the most sacred holiday for Christians."  Not quite.

The most sacred holiday for Christians?  That would be Easter, senator.
