Where should teabaggers see themselves in the Christmas story?

One of my weeklies has a slightly interesting thought from a local minister: "Where do you see yourself in the Christmas story? Would you be Mary, Joseph or Jesus?"

Most teabaggers would see this question and think, "Jesus. I would be Jesus without question."

In reality, almost all teabaggers should see themselves as King Herod.

4. They'd *see* themselves as Herod

But they'd actually just be an anonymous foot soldier from Gaul, stationed in this gods-forsaken backwater, forced to do the bidding of some barbarian king, killing a few of his subjects & their kids along the way to keep them in line.

5. Probably mostly not quite Herod - more like the innkeeper and his wife who had 'no room in the inn'

But Trump could well turn out to be a Herod if given the opportunity.
