Hillary can't wait to hang Barack Obama's Christmas balls on the tree

Hillary can't wait to hang Barack Obama's Christmas balls on the tree

Apparently news of the severe recession hasn’t reached Washington, DC. There’s no price tag associated with this story, but we can assure you it ain’t gonna be cheap.

But what does it matter if the economy is in trouble? Queen Hillary needs a State Department that matches her regal self-image.

Politico.com tells the expensive tale:

The State Department is not exactly the most modern of buildings. So when it comes to sprucing things up, it probably needs some help.

As a result, it has partnered with the magazine industry to help decorate 17 rooms for the holiday season. The rooms are in the State Department’s Harry S. Truman Building and Blair House, both of which are located in Washington.

The Magazine Holiday Design Showcase is “part of an ongoing campaign to highlight the furnishings and art in both the Blair House and the State Department,” according to a release.

Better Homes and Gardens will decorate the Blair House’s front and back rooms and the garden. Martha Stewart Living will focus on Blair House’s dining rooms, entryway and Lee Drawing Room. Mother Earth News turns its sights on Blair House’s Jackson Place Sitting Room and Jackson Place Dining Room. Mother Earth News will team up with Natural Home to work on the State Department’s Adams Room. This Old House will tend to the Lincoln Room and Truman Study at Blair House. Traditional Home has been assigned the Blair House’s Lee Dining Room and Lee Entrance Room.

And we assume Mad Magazine will be decorating the Treasury Department.

The Clinton Library will be stocked only with Adult Sex Paraphernalia and some cigars. The only books will be on Kama Sutra, and dictionaries defining what is…IS !!!
