    • Authustian, on 12/21/2007, -6/+15This is the link as it should be

    • UrbanOne, on 12/21/2007, -3/+39The 404 was better.
    • santaliqueur, on 12/21/2007, -24/+11Maddox is a ***** idiot.
      • DangerMouse9, on 12/21/2007, -21/+4because he has an opinion? Because he points out the abundant stupidity in people? Please explain. Or are you jumping on the bandwagon?

        (Ron Paul! Iphone! Ipod! Ubuntu! Linux! Xbox 360! Wii! ***** the RIAA!)
        • santaliqueur, on 12/21/2007, -3/+18Nope, just because he's an idiot. He has his opinions, I have mine. Also, how can I be on the bandwagon if I'm in the minority? You can explain now.
        • jamesb0i, on 12/21/2007, -6/+3haha u call that bandwagon? get a life
      • rspeed, on 12/21/2007, -5/+3Oh santaliquer.... I DISAGREE!
        *drives off*
      • dinsy, on 12/21/2007, -3/+3A brain-dead idiot.
    • dinsy, on 12/21/2007, -8/+9That site is pathetic garbage.
  • iraq, on 12/21/2007, -19/+554If only he could read...
    • amphoterous, on 12/21/2007, -5/+171"I was elected to lead... not to read."
    • TheManiacKY, on 12/21/2007, -21/+4"I was elect to LEAD not to READ".... ( Simpsons movie )
    • xptoast, on 12/21/2007, -7/+1I did this...http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-158285517 ... after reading that comment "iraq"
    • diggmaddy, on 12/21/2007, -0/+15I would be more than willing to resign my job and read it to him as slow as need be for as many months as it takes for him to get a grasp on it.
      • burjzyntski, on 12/21/2007, -1/+3I don't have a job, but I would be willing to spare some time to help him with his Hooked on Phonics wookbooks.
      • Insomnya3AM, on 12/21/2007, -1/+4Looks like you need a little yourself there, wookbook.
      • incubusnb, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3no, he wanted to help him with his wookbook, he's right, wookie is closer to his though process anyway
    • JDLamb88, on 12/21/2007, -0/+0lol damn right when i saw the article i said "now to teach him to read"
    • bgolds99, on 12/21/2007, -6/+1it's one thing to criticize his policies, but he's not book stupid. He got a 566 something on his English SATs, which is better than the average college student....
      • Asay, on 12/22/2007, -2/+2Thank you for not being an ass like so many of the people bashing him here.
      • tubeblender, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2I wonder who took it for him?
      • tubeblender, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1BTW: That would put his IQ somewhere around 129. Maybe in High School, but it's gone down a gread deal since then.
      • fartbuttes, on 12/22/2007, -0/+4if you dad was an extremely wealthy former president of the united states you'd probably get a 566 too
        • alterImperson, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Our president wasn't in high school when his father was president, but he was still incredibly wealthy. The more you know!
  • pintomp3, on 12/21/2007, -12/+348bush: "great, more toilet paper"
    • superguysteve, on 12/21/2007, -3/+36Bush: "But Santa, I asked for a Wii"
      • alterImperson, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Bush's Wii has HD output. He got it by threatening to invade Nintendo.
    • cowsgonemadd3, on 12/21/2007, -12/+2Bush: Hey it says right here all of the Bush family is exempt from its rules and can change it all they want.
  • Proctor, on 12/21/2007, -19/+6Can you actually deliver mail to the president? Not that I'd want to for Bush.
    • Coven, on 12/21/2007, -15/+5I'd gladly take the job, and coat each and every piece of mail in urushiol (irritant in poison ivy)
      • santaliqueur, on 12/21/2007, -0/+10And infect some intern with poison ivy, while landing yourself in prison? Sweet deal.
        • Coven, on 12/21/2007, -3/+1Ah, well. If it was Clinton he'd in turn diddle the intern, infecting "Little Bill". Oh well.
        • zantos420, on 12/21/2007, -1/+1Little Bill likes Big Girls
    • ShyDiggFantasy, on 12/21/2007, -0/+5I'm surprise the secret service didn't come out, cuff him and take him away.
  • daivos, on 12/21/2007, -8/+61Santa delivering anything to President Bush other than coal is an outrage. Although, maybe a vial of crude oil might be more fitting.
    • corkdorkdan, on 12/21/2007, -1/+24Don't give him any ideas. Next thing you know, he'll be invading the North Pole!
    • xptoast, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7Maybe some oil, and a dollar bill soaked in blood. Just to top it off a book named "Common sense for idiots without it"
    • frosted, on 12/21/2007, -0/+1Perfect, coal, the one thing Bush Doesn't need more of.. or does he...
    • danitygo, on 12/22/2007, -1/+1this comment made me laugh out loud . . . yet it is not so funny. good one though.
  • facttech, on 12/21/2007, -2/+24This is a direct result of the following campaign: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/383/t/4089/pe ...
    It may not be too late to have more sent.
  • RichLatherX23, on 12/21/2007, -49/+14How many trees died to bring this futile message? HUH? Answer me that!
    Will no one think of the plants?
    • DangerMouse9, on 12/21/2007, -1/+3If it causes Monkey Face to be introduced to reality then I'd say the sacrifice was worth it.
    • Acewrap, on 12/21/2007, -1/+6Did you really just call the Constitution of the United States futile?
    • acidbass, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1futile message?

      leave america now.
    • Caffeinate, on 12/24/2007, -0/+1Calling the constitution a "futile message" is a new low.
  • diggit83, on 12/21/2007, -14/+19Nice, now if we could get him to read and understand it.....
    • dondara, on 12/21/2007, -2/+9Your optimism is charming. Like a stone will ever grasp string theory.
      • xptoast, on 12/21/2007, -1/+4Did you by chance escape Plato's cave as well? What are of the sunlit land do you live? Want to go throw rocks at people in the cave?
        • xptoast, on 12/21/2007, -3/+1I hate typos. Silly typos, stupid fingers get replaced. You have been warned. Let me restate:
          Did you by chance escape Plato's cave as well? What part of the sunlit land do you live? Want to go throw rocks at people in the cave?
  • evo8ftw, on 12/21/2007, -8/+81Whatever...... I think he should of walked down a little ways and dropped some off at the Capital Building as well.
    • afractus, on 12/21/2007, -1/+6By walk, you mean Ride his sleigh?
      • xptoast, on 12/21/2007, -2/+3I wonder if its green powered or is like a modified Humvee. That would be funny to see. It would send the a similar oxymoron message such as this...We come in peace to blow up your home.
    • 471776, on 12/21/2007, -1/+8The Capital Building?
    • chicofaraby, on 12/21/2007, -0/+9"should of" "Capital"

      Jeebus....
    • esmaeelp, on 12/21/2007, -2/+12should have*
      Capitol*
      • evo8ftw, on 12/21/2007, -13/+2should of *
        capital*
        • 471776, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6...are you defending your misuse of English there?

          Should HAVE is correct. And it is the United States Capitol Building. Capitol with an "o".
          • evo8ftw, on 12/21/2007, -8/+1Capital Building in Warshington DC I should of gone there yesterday.
        • sunkist22, on 12/21/2007, -1/+2Ha ha ha, way to prove your lack of education to the world. It's 'Capitol'.
          • evo8ftw, on 12/22/2007, -4/+1haha haha a typo = lack of education? At least I am able to tell what time it is. Hey, sunkist do you even have a HS Diploma?
          • sunkist22, on 12/22/2007, -1/+2Well, if it is a typo, why do you keep using it, and defending it as proper spelling?
  • WoWBits, on 12/21/2007, -12/+7Now, Santa is a person Bush will trust and listen to. Good idea.
    • HereticChick, on 12/21/2007, -1/+3Just like he listens to God?? Oh Crap!
  • hifiDesign, on 12/21/2007, -6/+43"No word yet on how exactly President Bush intends to cram them all up his ass."
  • Tawni, on 12/21/2007, -13/+5He is an illiterate puppet. this is an epic fail!
  • lazerus9, on 12/21/2007, -4/+210Santa was then tasered, beaten, thrust into a orange jumpsuit and whisked off aboard an unmarked aircraft!
    • thedr96run, on 12/21/2007, -1/+24You forgot waterboarded... ;-)
    • mufasa, on 12/21/2007, -0/+10Rev 2: "Santa was then tasered, beaten, waterboarded, thrust into a orange jumpsuit and whisked off aboard an unmarked aircraft on its way to Guantanamo, where he will be held for the rest of his life without a trial!"
      • Loonacy, on 12/21/2007, -1/+9Rev 3: "Santa was then tasered, beaten, waterboarded until he confessed to being a witch.. er, terrorist, thrust into an orange jumpsuit and whisked off aboard an unmarked aircraft on its way to Guantanamo, where he will be held for the rest of his life without a trial!"
    • DestroyFascism, on 12/21/2007, -0/+5And the same plane crashed after departing Afghanistan with 3 tonnes of heroin on board...
    • peregrine, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2And now all the children spend their christmas eve night wondering where people go when to fall into one of Cheney's black bags.
  • Daz3, on 12/21/2007, -11/+5Wtf? I figured Santa would know that Bush can't read...
  • ghall, on 12/21/2007, -8/+88Santa hates America.
    • 1337Einstein, on 12/21/2007, -0/+18Maybe he'll bring us enough coal that this whole oil thing won't be so much of a problem.
      • alterImperson, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1We have more than enough coal to cut our dependency from foreign oil. We can't access it safely or cheaply enough. As soon as it becomes economic again, but it's unlikely any time soon.
    • yojiffyskippy, on 12/21/2007, -4/+5and kicks puppies.
    • diggmaddy, on 12/21/2007, -7/+4SANTA HELPING TERRORISTS! BOMB NORTH POLE, QUICK!
    • xptoast, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2So do some of us. That is if you consider the USA the government that it is or is supposed to be.
    • technoredneck, on 12/21/2007, -3/+2Leave Santa alone!!!
    • jpkelly, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1santa hates freedom
  • blindhammer, on 12/21/2007, -2/+25Great, more paper to start fires in one of Cheney office.
  • broeks, on 12/21/2007, -22/+2so the point of this was? to get in the news?
  • afractus, on 12/21/2007, -19/+6Santa needs to go back to the North Pole that dirty communist bastard
    • sholt, on 12/21/2007, -2/+15Even his suit is red!
    • technoredneck, on 12/21/2007, -5/+2Americans and their modern-day McCarthyism amuse me.

      (Even if you were being sarcastic, my point still stands. ;p)
  • my8bird, on 12/21/2007, -4/+140Bush: Response:
    Oh look there's that imaginary guy giving out imaginary rights.
  • marc123, on 12/21/2007, -8/+11Santa hates your freedoms
  • ladalang, on 12/21/2007, -3/+18They need to "throw that God damned piece of paper in his face." Oh wait he said that. He needs to Constitution tattooed on his chest so for the rest of his life he can remember he was a traitor to our great nation.
    • chaosium, on 12/21/2007, -1/+3"Oh wait he said that"

      No, he didn't.

      He's an idiot, but attack him for the numerous things he DID do and say. Lies only discredit you.
    • Wesside, on 12/21/2007, -1/+2Tattooing for the loss, my vote is for branding it to him. Much more effective.
  • marc123, on 12/21/2007, -6/+23Bush response: "Santa hates our freedoms"
  • Skooma714, on 12/21/2007, -2/+102Poor Santa. He is going to get waterboarded.
  • hydrodev, on 12/21/2007, -2/+15I was one of the people that signed up to send him the constitution. But i still don't think this accomplished anything. I garauntee he scoffed at it, and wont read a single line.
    • alpharaptor, on 12/21/2007, -2/+2did you sign up AND pay? if not i paid for two, so you were covered... but ur a freeloader.
    • ShyDiggFantasy, on 12/21/2007, -2/+4Thank you for your inquiry, you have been automatically signed up for our Govt watch list. Have a nice day!
  • perkonis, on 12/21/2007, -1/+19So Santa shows up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. unannounced. My bet is he will be declared an enemy combatant and sent to Gitmo. Well, there goes Christmas. The kids will, no doubt, be disappointed. Won't someone think of the children?
  • PinkFloydFan, on 12/21/2007, -2/+21Santa better look out, there's a sniper over his right shoulder! (To the right of the flag pole)
    • tgc1, on 12/21/2007, -6/+0What you seem to be forgetting, is that Santa rolls with little elves. Many, many elves. You don't mess with Elves man. They have magic. There's no telling what they could do. That and a few pissed off reindeer. You'd be in deep doo-doo then.
  • braja, on 12/21/2007, -2/+25I am betting the 37,000 copies were made in China.
    • technoredneck, on 12/21/2007, -1/+3Cool, maybe Bush will get lead-paint poisoning. /sarc
    • ShyDiggFantasy, on 12/21/2007, -2/+2The papers will be recall due to lead poisoning.
    • inject, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1probably were.american unions,these days,sure dont know anything about no constitution.
    • Baroja1898, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3No, you've got it wrong. China makes procuces our flags, not constitutions.
  • WKUHilltopper, on 12/21/2007, -3/+15Santa should have dropped some off at the Supreme Court and Congress too...
  • linkbeat, on 12/21/2007, -3/+37By overburdening the White House with 37,000 copies of the Constitution, Santa is supporting a terrorist agenda, and therefore can be labeled a suspected terrorist. Suspected terrorists are not entitled to due process thanks to the Patriot Act, and therefore can be taken into custody, questioned, imprisoned without being charged with a crime.
    The perfect scapegoat for a cheapskate father on Christmas morning!
  • deronsizemore, on 12/21/2007, -3/+7Great! Now Santa will be a part of the axis of evil and we're all going to get screwed out of gifts!
    • synthpop, on 12/21/2007, -2/+4not to worry, Halliburton will get a 50 billion dollar no-bid contract to take over Santa's gift delivery operation. After the usual skimming off the top each child should expect to get half a stick of gum around April time. Merry Xmas!
  • offspring06, on 12/21/2007, -3/+6I wonder if Santa is on the terrorist watch list now.
  • DangerMouse9, on 12/21/2007, -6/+2I think it would've been more effective to put the damn thing in the bible then give that to Monkeyboy.
    • McHoffa, on 12/21/2007, -1/+0that would mean he would read and follow the teachings of the bible as well... which he already doesn't...
  • DeFex, on 12/21/2007, -3/+10in other news, bush sends out :
    37000 domestic wiretapping, phone tracking, and satellite spying orders.
    • inject, on 12/22/2007, -2/+1that wouldnt suprise me.you lefties and jihadis are getting quite close these days.
  • beckerG511, on 12/21/2007, -14/+6thats a lot of paper being wasted.. way to contribute to "global warming"
    • GhostyBoy, on 12/21/2007, -3/+1I dugg you up for clever use of quotations marks.
  • ksong12, on 12/21/2007, -6/+7Hmm.... it looks like from the article that 37,000+ PEOPLE requested that A copy be delivered, not 37,000 copies.

    Still, huge kudos to them!
    • mwolfzorn, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3First line of the article says:

      December 20, 2007, Washington, DC - This morning, Santa Claus (in the person of noted constitutional lawyer Bill Goodman) drove his sleigh to the White House to deliver thousands of copies of the U.S. Constitution to President Bush.
  • DiggasWAttitude, on 12/21/2007, -4/+2When all he really wanted were two front teeth... .... pulled from the jaws of suspected terrorists in Guantanamo.
  • frosted, on 12/21/2007, -5/+3Bush can read?
  • yaoxin1111, on 12/21/2007, -4/+3Bush need an idiot version of constitution.
  • bingobongony, on 12/21/2007, -10/+3yawnnnn. Perhaps alternet should have read one.
  • siszam, on 12/21/2007, -1/+4Bush probably thinks of it as free ass wipes.
  • ewagnerjr2000, on 12/21/2007, -11/+2I'm not a constitutional expert but could someone tell me where in the constitution it has a passage against torture. I just have had trouble finding it.
    • mwolfzorn, on 12/21/2007, -0/+11Amendment VIII: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

      'Difficulty would attend the effort to define with exactness the extent of the constitutional provision which provides that cruel and unusual punishments shall not be inflicted; but it is safe to affirm that punishments of torture [such as drawing and quartering, embowelling alive, beheading, public dissecting, and burning alive], and all others in the same line of unnecessary cruelty, are forbidden by that amendment to the Constitution.'' 44

    • Artagnan, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2I'd just like to point out what a ***** idiot this guy is.
    • ZeroXMD, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1i'm sorry, they don't have the constitution translated to Dumbass-ese yet. in the meantime, try reading the bill of rights, if you can.
  • llbbl, on 12/21/2007, -4/+11Dear Santa, Please save us from our President.
  • F1R3DUP, on 12/21/2007, -7/+11Bush: It's just 37,000 God Damn pieces of paper!!!
  • skubiszm, on 12/21/2007, -2/+4Maybe he can spare a couple for the Supreme Court. They are supposed to be deeming what is Constitutional or not. Checks and balances, right?
  • GhostyBoy, on 12/21/2007, -3/+8Why the hell wasn't Santa's magic sleigh blown out of the sky? Haven't we learned anything from 9/11?
    • 89992, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2The police actually impounded his sleigh, no joke.
  • bdrocker, on 12/21/2007, -10/+7this would be a great campaign for RON PAUL
