Liberals will defend this by suggesting that it’s just political correctness, but I doubt she’d have apologized for talking about a Kwanza party.

Speaking on the local D.C. program “Inside Washington,“ NPR reporter Nina Totenberg openly apologized for using the phrase ”Christmas party” while telling a story.

While discussion the omnibus spending bill that was rejected, she recalled a conversation with government defense officials regarding their budgets, a conversation that took place at a recent Christmas party. However, before she used the party’s adjective, she asked for forgiveness for invoking the “holiday” term.

Here’s the video and excerpt via Newsbusters:

Well, these agencies, including the Defense Department, don’t know how much money they’ve got and for what. And I was at – forgive the expression – a Christmas party at the Department of Justice and people actually were really worried about this.

The liberal notion of religious diversity is expunging Christianity from public. Which is sad, because that’s really the exact opposite of diversity.
