GUTSY: Via Drudge ... "Speaker of House fights to call it a Christmas tree."

No word yet on when the Speaker plans to fight to cut wasteful federal spending and secure our southern border. Or, if you prefer, to end the war in Iraq and provide health care to America's 45 million uninsured.

That's okay, though. The Speaker's a busy guy. He's fighting to call it a Christmas tree.

Happy Merry Christmas Holidays from the People's House to yours.
