“I was at – forgive the expression – a Christmas party.“ Liberal NPR journalist Nina Totenberg, on Inside Washington this weekend.
Can we assume that Nina will not be taking an extra day off this week, will work Saturday, and will take no holiday pay?

“Totenburg” That’s German for where PBS gets their tote bags.
Actually she is Jewish most of her family were killed in Poland by the right wing Germans. Jews do not celebrate Christmas. It is a holiday for gentiles and goyim. Teach why must you try and force Jews to celebrate Christmas?
“try and force Jews to celebrate Christmas” I’m hoping you’re saying that with tongue in cheek, because there is nothing “trying to force Jews to celebrate Christmas” in pointing out a liberal apologizing after merely saying the word “Christmas”.
And not all Jews suffer from that affliction. You can be Jewish and wish someone a Merry Christmas just as we gentiles can wish the Jews a Happy Hanukkah. It’s more a courtesy than an affirmation of faith…unless you’re afflicted with PC.
And though my German is a little rusty, I believe “Totenberg”, literally auf Deutsche, would be “Death Mountain”.
I should have added to my earlier comment some “Closed Captioning for the Humor Impaired”.
What is it with you and Jews, John? You sound very much like an intolerant, bigoted, anti-Semite. Ahmdenijad would be proud of you.
Teach, that is probably because he is.
Can’t believe she is apologizing for being at a Christmas Party. If she feels that bad, maybe she should flog herself. Maybe if she is ashamed of attending, she should stand up and proudly claim her anti-Christmas Party beliefs.
“Christmas Parties are too religious and should not be celebrated by the government! SEPARATION!! SEPARATION!!! ”
Or, she should just be happy to celebrate the holiday of Christians because she lives in a Christian dominant country that celebrates a national and worldwide holiday that even Arabs celebrate. Heck, even Jews are OK with it because it is mostly about being good to others.
Why is it those who are against Christmas are more vociferous against it, than those who are for Christmas in their defense of it?
Time to change things.
Like any good liberal, Captain, she is hypocritical to the bone. She’ll enjoy all the trappings of the Christian holidays, yet tear it down.
Good job tearing John apart, Proof. Isn’t it funny how Nazi Germany was “right wing,” despite sharing at least 90% of the same ideology of today’s Democrat party?
William: I wasn’t sure at first whether this guy was for real or one of your buddies pulling your leg with an “over the top liberal” imitation.
Yeah Teach she is just another hypocritical liberal Jew who demands paid time off during our Christian religious holidays and then refuses to acknowledge CHRIST in Christmas. Teach where I live there are 25% Jews they are my neighbors and friends. It may be different in the deep South where Jews were a minority persecuted by the Klan and the White Citizens Council. Maybe down there they are forced to say Christmas, but not up here.Teach do you really find it offensive that Jews do not say “Merry Christmas” or go to “Christmas Parties” Should Nina be forced to work on religious holidays she refuse to celebrate ?
Hey Johnny, BAH HUMBUG for not getting any of what the folks here are saying.
NO one is forcing ANYone to say Merry Christmas, but all would appreciate it if it wasn’t such a damn a sin to say it, or a sin to admit you went to a “Christmas” party, no matter what faith you practice.
Klan and the White Citizens Council.
This is funny. Ryan is showing the bigotry and hatred of Jews by using groups founded by Democrats for the express purpose of fighting the Republican agenda of equality and equal rights.
go to “Christmas Partiesâ€
No one forced her to go to anything. Yet her dismissal of where she was brings her liberal bias into account and shows a prejudice against Christians just as you have.
So, John, I assume you will be working a regular work week this week, and refusing any holiday pay, right? Since you hate Christmas so much.
Two can play the deflection game
