President Bush got punk’d, compliments of artist Deborah Lawrence.
The nine-inch ball is covered with swirly red and white stripes — and, in tiny glued-on text, salutes the Democratic congressman’s support for a resolution to impeach President Bush. (Also showcased: Washington state’s 1919 labor strike, its suffrage movement and the violent anti-World Trade Organization riots of 1999.) Lawrence sent it off to D.C. in September and was very surprised it was accepted for the tree — and that she was invited to this afternoon’s White House reception for the artists, which she flew to D.C. to attend. “Apparently, they didn’t read it — or Laura Bush is more progressive than I believed,” Lawrence told us.
Consider this a Christmas thread. What’s on your list this year? If you’ve got a teen, Britney just released a new album, which was featured in a very big way on “Good Morning America” today. “Womanizer” is one of the break out singles. Diane Sawyer sounding giddy over Britney was positively surreal.
