From Holden:

Via Froomkin, Chimpy’s remarks during yesterday’s White House Holiday Tree fell a bit short of the O’Reilly standard.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. Welcome to the Christmas Pageant of Peace. Laura and I are so honored to join you all. The lighting of the National Christmas tree is one of the great traditions in our Nation’s Capital. Each year, we gather here to celebrate the season of hope and joy — and to remember the story of one humble life that lifted the sights of humanity.

Santa, thanks for coming.

The Official White House Holiday Card should also flip Falafel Bill’s lid.
