3. So let me get this straight
Hanukkah doesn't even start for almost three weeks, but Bush thinks it's the 8th night already.

No other religions matter. No other religious holidays matter. It's Christmas or nothing at all!

11. its means

12. LOL, I looked up the meaning of the words. I was just wondering if
they were aimed at me, or at Bush!

I agree, those words could possibly be going through that rabbi's head, as he was photographed there. He looks somewhat less than thrilled.
