Via Talking Points Memo:

Forty two percent of Republicans believe Santa Claus is not just white but “verifiably white,” while 23 percent said he is not, according to the poll. Only 24 percent of Democrats, on the other hand, said he was “verifiably white” while 48 percent said he is not.

I have two thoughts on this.

First, I guess there is some truth to the notion that “both sides do it,” at least when applied to naïve stupidity. Republicans are still much better at it.

Second, I urge those 42% of Republicans (and the 24% of a Democrats because why not?) to put their money where their mouths are and verify that Santa is white.

I don’t care if you have to travel by one of those icebreaker ships, a dogsled, or on the back of a polar bear somehow, but get your asses to the North Pole and show us the Claus.

Seriously, pics or GTFO.
