What will Sanchez’s holiday card be this year?
November 23rd, 2009, 1:46 pm · 41 Comments · posted by Dena Bunis, Washington Bureau Chief
If it’s the holiday season it must mean that Capitol Hill is waiting to see what Rep. Loretta Sanchez’s Christmas card will look like this year.For 2009, the Santa Ana Democrat has a new twist. She’s going high tech and is going to send an email to folks who sign up on her campaign web site to let them know what the new twist will be with this year’s card.

The announcement will come on Tuesday, Dec. 1. And if you want to find out soonest you can go to www.loretta.org and sign up.
I was able to pry out of Sanchez that her fluffy white cat Gretzky will be featured in this year’s holiday greeting. But alas the kitty is 19 years-old and Sanchez’s veterinarian has broached the idea that next year she might have to start thinking about a replacement for the faithful Gretzky.
Sanchez’s cards are always funny and sometimes – like the time she featured a blue wave to commemorate the Democrats taking power in the House – they have a political theme as well.
But mainly, she said, it’s all in fun.
“It’s such a stressful time at Christmas and the holidays,’’ said Sanchez. “Its important for me to put a smile on people’s faces, let them have a little chuckle and realize things are not so bad.’’
Sanchez pays for her cards out of her campaign funds and traditionally has sent out about 350,000 of them.
We’ll all learn together next week what the new twist is for this year’s holiday greeting.

Forget her cat Gretzky.
This will be her last Year !!
“Sanchez pays for her cards out of her campaign funds and traditionally has sent out about 350,000 of them”
I HIGHLY doubt that quote, probably out of state money.
“Its important for me to put a smile on people’s faces, let them have a little chuckle and realize things are not so bad.’’
we will ALL be smiling when your voted out, no need to worry
Does she even have a motor cycle license to ride that hogg?
must be a very very very slow news day
The register is now a news outlet, it is a blog. That is all.
Vienes a los Estados Unidos todos los latinos, por favor.
Please, come to America, all you latinos.
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is Sanchez to be made unemployed.
Thank you.
You’ve got that right!!! Maybe we get lucky and her sister will disappear also.
Then we concentrate on Pelosi, Villaraigosa, etc
Now that is change I voted for
I know what would make a lot of people smile. A picture of Sanchez holding a One-Way ticket to Mexico, or to anywhere for that matter.
Way to go, TimP.
I also know what would make a lot of people smile! A picture of TimP holding a One-Way ticket back to Austria or anywhere in Europe. Don’t forget to take your smallpoxs and the rest of your filth with you.
no that would make us really sad, sorry try again
I thought she was “Latina” by marriage? What was her maiden name?
Jones
I’m not in her District and if I get another one it will be considered harassment and just another item to add to the indictment!
What a total goofball she is. No wonder gobblement is in such disarray with space cadets like her deciding on our laws. hah. If one of the three stooges was a female she would be first in line to play the part. hah.
She spends her own money and has them printed in the US. Can’t wait for this year’s card. I can’t believe some of the stupid
and hateful comments above.
No, she spends the money granted to her by the US Government to maintain her offices. That is tax-payer’s money.
And if what doesn’t cover all the costs she uses the donations made to her campaign fund.
Seriously how idiotic can you be IT SAIDS NO TAX PAYER FUNDS were used on the card itself! She’d go to jail! The expense would be noted you leaky brain!
I don’t know why stupid people continue to comment on here. She uses money from her campaign, you morons. THATS NOT TAXPAYER MONEY!!!!! ANd hello, she’s using funds from her campaign to help non profit organizations!!! What can be more heart warming that than. She’s a good person.
P.S. What happened to the Holiday Spirit. You people are just hateful… terrible people… this blog and so most of the comments on this site make me sick….
What a dumb taunting question for the Register to ask! You guys must be extremely hard up for web traffic
I’ll take the bait. Perhaps, the AMBIGOUS Loretta Sanchez
might consider the following: “As pure and real, as the Southern California snow”. Or, maybe one that MOST accurately describes
politicians BOTH, Democrat and Repulican: “Happy Holidays and
remember, I’m not a cheap date!” (thanks to Mary Landieu of Louisana for the MOST honest words EVER spoken by a U.S.
politician).
“Its important for me to put a smile on people’s faces, let them have a little chuckle and realize things are not so bad.’’
Yes, Sanchez, the ARE that bad, and you and your ilk were hired to deal with them, not waste taxpayer’s time on something as lame as a “holiday” card.
By the way, Sanchez, which “holiday” are you referring to? Christmas? Qwanza? The birth of Baby Obama? What?
Notice in the picture she is not wearing a helmet, but that’s OK most of her supporter aren’t legal either.
I would like to see a holiday card of her in hand cuffs, that would help the new year off to a good start.
A helmet might muss her hair and we can’t have that can we? or most likely it would hide that vapid grin she cheeses everyone with…I’m thinking the helmet might be a good idea Loretta.
yes, how else could she show off her latest plastic surgery she got during the year?
she’s the next Pelosi face. she looks like the Joker.
Once again, The Register is a shameless megaphone for the Sanchez campaign. Despite Loretta’s sex scandals and ethics problems (just google: loretta sanchez scandal), the Register is only interested in the contents of her purse and her juvenile holiday cards. So much for serious journalism. You people are a joke.
Oh, and by the way, I just read that Loretta will unveil her (previously)secret boyfriend on this year’s card. Move over Gretzky.
The latest on Loretta’s holiday card is much more important than the bust they made in ACORN’s dumpster in San Diego. Oops! That’s a REAL story. No room for that here.
Here’s a suggestion:
GREETINGS from Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Jack P. Einwechter and I are having a blas on your taxpayer dollars. Wish you could be here. Loretta and Jack.
UglyinLA, perfect name for you. WHO CARES ABOUT JACK EINWECHTER!!!!!
Why not focus on the fact that she’s trying to help non profit organziations that are having a hard time raising $s.
How about that she’s the only OC REP that actually works for the people of orange county… unlike the other 4 good ‘ol boys we have in OC.
I wonder if Sanchez pays the OCR for advertising her name, since the last two stories on her were not even close to being news worthy. I think its time that the other two candidates for that district get equal time.
digusting…..and I dont mean the cat…
“What will Sanchez’s holiday card be this year?”
Hopefully it will be a big note written in crayon saying :
PLEASE BE ADVISED: LORETTA, HER CAT AND HER HOGG HAVE LEFT CALIFORNIA.
BUENAS NOCHES
We can all hope for a Christmas Miracle can’t we?…oh I forgot…it would also say she took Barbara Boxer with her!
Now that is something to hope for.
With all of the right wing sex scandals recently I am suppried that you guys are not into golden showers too.
Republican, you continue to show your true colors. Classless.
What a koolaid drinker! Absolutely pathetic. One thing republicans don’t do is re-elect people like this. Democrats on the other hand do. Lets take William Jefferson for example. Was caught on video taking bribes from undercover FBI. The money was then later found in his freezer. THEN THE GUY WAS RE-ELECTED BY DEMOCRATS. Should I bring up the countless accounts of fraud, lies, and illegal activity by democrats to further make you look like a imbecile?
Dude . . . it’s right before dinner. You just made me a little sick.
don’t forget Marion Barry
