You are the one who doesn't get it.
This dinner is a 90 year old tradition, one that only recently has the general public been allowed to get a glimpse of. While the First Lady's participation last night is probably a first, the President's participation is not. I know people who have attended these things through all different administrations.........the only difference now is it gets televised.
Like I said - lighten up.

It strikes me that the new generation of conservative yuppie-lites wants a Washington DC that has all 300 Dishnet channels, unlimited laughs, and low taxes. It doesn't want any absolute moral truth either, and, so when the First Lady degrades herself, and her husband's office, we are supposed to "lighten up." After all, man, we got a laugh!
The notion of the Bush family huddled around the TV set watching Hollywood pop culture just doesn't seem very comforting to me. Sorry.

Some of these same people would have a stroke if they saw the Gridiron dinner! CSPAN showed it one year not too long ago and it was raunchy...
And these events really were never traditionally for broadcast TV.
