"Some say Santa Claus is too big to fail. Well, I'm ho-ho-heartedly against any bailout for Santa Claus, even if he employs 150,000 elves. This undue burden will have our kids paying for toys they'll lose and break this year for the next 20 years." watch >>


Santa: Whipping Boy of
Pundits & Politicians

It’s Been a Rough Year for Santa

He's weathering a recession, elf layoffs, and criticism from the left and the right.The long-beloved Man in Red has endured a year of controversy and criticism, drawing barbs from the left and the right, along with the ire of animal rights activists.

As Christmas 2009 approaches, Santa finds himself the whipping boy of pundits and politicians, facing lawsuits, late night barbs, hostile federal legislation, allegations he received federal bailouts, and a nasty mockumentary.

Here's just a small sampling of the spin on Santa.

A strong public option is necessary to keep Santa honest. What is Santa afraid of? If someone has a better idea for boosting competition and holding down costs, let's hear it.

Who is Santa, really? Where is his birth certificate? If he's not a socialist, why does he always wear red? I'm not saying he's a communist who wants to brainwash our children - I'm just saying I'm worried that he might be. watch >>

Santa knows when you've been sleeping. He knows when you're awake, he knows when you've been bad or good. This kind of Big-Brother surveillance is exactly why we opposed the Patriot Act. Santa might as well be Dick Cheney with a beard.


Rush Limbaugh

Giving toys to all children, whether their parents are successful or not, will merely teach children to become dependent on Santa. Also, we should not trust Santa with this kind of power. If Santa's big enough to give toys to every child, he's big enough to take them all away. watch >>

Our continued reliance on Santa's cheap toys has undermined American manufacturing and made us too dependent on imports. Why should we bring toys all the way from the North Pole when we could make them here in the United States?


Ralph Nader

Unsuspecting consumers are put at grave risk because some of the toys finding their way under our Christmas trees have not been tested by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. That's unconscionable, and we are gathering plaintiffs' names for a class action lawsuit against Big Red and his dangerous toy machine. watch >>

We all admire Santa's early work, but he's totally sold out these days. Now we only see Santa making appearances in shopping malls and shooting ads for Coca-Cola. He's gone from ho-ho to ho-hum.

"Santa has a positive story to tell and we will help him get it universally told. There is still a deep reservoir of goodwill for Santa out there among a public that still wants to believe in him and his values. The important thing is to get in front of the story, correct the falsehoods, dump his own bad news, rebrand the Santa team and then move on to the positive. Santa can't just get by with 'Ho, Ho, Ho' in the face of these problems -- which is nearly as bad as just saying 'No Comment.' We're proud to help Santa reclaim his rightful place in world esteem."

"Santa is an undocumented foreigner who comes across our borders illegally, sneaks into your house and puts packages under your tree. Santa's repeated unlawful crossing into our country represents the utter failure of our government to secure our nation's borders." watch >>

"Santa undercuts other toymakers by operating a North Pole sweatshop that works low-paid elf laborers for 14 hours a day, with few benefits and without the right to unionize. Santa's workshop is a monstrous example of industrial efficiency at its worst."

"Santa forces innocent reindeer to draw a sleigh - burdened by an obese man and millions of pounds of toys - across the entire world each 25th of December, inflicting shocking cruelty to animals." watch >>
