The Most Bizarre Christmas Tradition Ever
By Wyatt Earp | December 23, 2009
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with the Spaniards?
BARCELONA, Spain – Barack Obama is up against Queen Elizabeth this year in a centuries-old Christmas tradition in Catalonia, according to the makers of the Spanish region’s ‘caganer’ figurines.
They have been sold in Catalonia around Christmas since the 18th century, when they were placed in nativity scenes in the hope of bringing good luck and a rich harvest. But they show the personalities with their trousers down in the act of defecating.
Caganer maker Ana Maria Pla said Monday Obama is in line for his second year as the best selling overseas personality. Last year, the US president beat France’s first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Argentine President Cristina Kirchner and Bolivian President Evo Morales. (H/T – )
Lovely. If they wanted to make the Obama caganer realistic, they would have shown Obama taking a dump on the Constitution.

Or a caganer in the age old tradition of Mexican illegals taking a dump in the crop fields before picking it
Or a sarcastic one titled “Obambi Awakens”with, The One, taking a dump on Saul Alinsky’s book.

He wipes his ass with the Constitution.

You mean that George Bush is no longer the most hated American? I thought that Bambi, Mr Hopey Change was going to change the way people feel about Americans. Not so Much! MUD

That is a good point MUD. I was thinking that the other day when I read that Hugo Chavez told his air force to shoot down our spy planes. I thought once the Big O was in office everyone around the world would love us. WTF didn’t Chavez get the memo.

I suppose you could say that it’s just a different way of saying “they all put their pants on one leg at a time”!
or “They’re only human!”
