See there, it's all in how you take it. I thought the Chippendales part was the funniest part of her whole routine. The thought of those four women at a Chippendales, and of Lynne Cheney's new nickname being 'dollar bill' was just hysterically funny to me.

"The thought of those four women at a Chippendales, and of Lynne Cheney's new nickname being 'dollar bill' was just hysterically funny to me."

Me, too! What a funny "thought picture" that made for me.

While I can see the point of people not liking the performance because of the content, I had no problem with it. I laughed out loud all the way through when I was given the link to listen to.

Yep I agree about Lynn Cheney's new SS Code Name as Dollar Bill being the funniest line. However I must admit I've never watched Desperate Housewives so my basis of comparison is entirely lacking on that element. I don't intend to watch it either.. :^)

Wolfstar! Great pix tonight, dear. I thought the roast was hilarious. It would be pretty darned hard to stand up and actually be funny for 7 minutes using all -G- rated material. THEN the press would have blasted the First Lady for being boring and trying to hard to be funny.

Nope, she floated some -PG- stuff and pulled it off, especially with a crowd who'd love nothing more than to have reason to slam and ridicule her.

I can't stick around tonight, I would have been here earlier but when we returned home from being out, we realized we'd left some belongings and had to turn around and go all the way back to retrieve them. Just getting home now, must catch up on the threads. 'Night all!

I find that joke funny now but I suppose it is all to do with familiarity. Yes that is funny the dollar bill nickname joke I bet Lynne will take stick for that in private especially as she laughed so much at it.

The horse/cow joke is similar to ones I hear all the time dad had a stunt pulled on him years ago when he was an insurance agent and visited a farm they got him to go and see a "cow" and told him to feel the cow in a certain area because it was a cow with mastitus (I know I have spelt that wrong but the spell checker not co-operating) but then when the "cow" turned round it had a ring in its nose it was a bull. So I suppose her joke with the horse had a familar ring to it for me.

And the teasing ones of George re Desperate Housewives were both on a topical subject and one could see how he was enjoying her teasing him.

I think the Chippendale joke probably had it been 15 years ago when they were at their height would have just washed over me because at that time there were lots of Chippendale jokes. I think when things are topical and familar you react differently.

I agree, and having the female Supreme Court justices "see them there" was a very wild mental image. Very funny!
