Arlen Specter would love this

Denizens, remember a few years back, during Der Kaiser's impeachment/removal hearings when excuse-for-a-Senator Arlen Specter (R-LaLa Land) invoked Scottish law as the "reasoning" behind his decision to acquit the Philanderer-in-Briefs?

Today we learn why he did that: He has a lot in common with the Scots. Specifically, the looniness.

How else would you describe outlawing the baby Jesus during Christmas?


The decision by the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh, Scotland, was instituted because of fears it could offend people who belong to a faith other than Christianity.

"We could not just hand out the CD," a hospital spokeswoman told the Scotsman newspaper. "If it went to every child it could cause offense to those who are not Christian."


Has it ever occurred to this brain-addled lassie that: 1) the Baby Jesus is the entire reason  for Christmas in the first place, and 2) not  doing this for that reason might offend those who are  Christian?

Or is it okay to offend us?


Many see the measure as the latest attempt to "de-Christianize" Christmas, and at least one prominent Muslim leader in Scotland ridiculed the ban.

"If somebody doesn't want to listen to this, they don't have to. This is political correctness gone mad," Bashir Maan told the Scotsman. "It is going too far and it is going to be counterproductive.


FINALLY!!!  Someone - and a Muslim, no less - who's figured it out!!! Maybe there's hope for these guys after all!


Just last month, the Scottish Parliament banned traditional Christmas cards due to similar fears of offending other religions. Officials said "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" could not appear on government cards, as the wording was not deemed to be "socially inclusive."


As opposed to some moonbatted asshats in Scotland...
