If that joke was cool, then so was Whoopi's about the bush.

[ohioWfan]

Same here, Mary.

I have a very keen sense of right and wrong, and a strong sensitivity to language and innuendo, but I understood the humor of what she was doing.......because of who she IS, and the quality of her marriage and her person.

We got a glimpse into the teasing, fun-loving quality of their marriage, and I thought it was great.

This truly is much ado about nothing.

[pistolpackinannie]

wonder if you'd be screaming so loud if it were Bill and Billary!

[AnAmericanMother]

Look, I'll explain this to you VERY slowly.

99% of all male horses on ranches are GELDINGS. NO TESTICLES. NO SEXUAL RESPONSE WHATSOEVER.

When you have to clean a gelding's sheath (I won't go into gory detail because you might have a fainting spell) all he does is PEE on you.

[Miss Marple]

twigs, I didn't say ALL of the posters. However, by continuing to talk about it you are egging on people that are making much worse and insulting comments about her.

I have known you on this forum for a long time. I know you are sincerely disappointed.

I, however, am not.

Just as I am not going to go on and on about how great she was, I think it behooves those who didn't like the jokes to drop it.

She likely will never speak at another press dinner. The jokes are over and done with.

Just as I was disappointed by the president signing CFR, you are just going to have to be disappointed with these jokes. Look at all the positive things that she has done, anad simply forgive her for not living up to your expectations this one time.

But for goodness sake, don't be aligning yourself with people who call her a "whore."

[MilspecRob]

Wow are there Photos of Jenna Bush's dress, she's a hottie

[Howlin]

So you won't say heck but you think it's appropriate for a lady to tell jokes about bestiality.

You couldn't be more wrong.

[twigs]

Probably not. That's because I would expect it of them. And that's the exact point. I don't expect it from a First Lady who is a real lady, unlike the former first spouse.

[cubreporter]

Al Franken wouldn't have the brains nor the demeanor to do those jokes nor the delivery style Mrs. Bush had. She was awesome. She was fantastic. She was darling and she was ENVIED by a lot of people out there. Too bad for them. Great for us. The President and his wife and family are the best and it sticks like a craw in some people's throats.

[iconoclast]

"It was very risque," the Nation's David Korn said yesterday on Fox News.

"Sit down little Davie. There's somethings you should know.

After Mommy and Daddy put you to bed they watch R rated movies, occasionally may say bad word, and, steady now, sometimes ..... they "do it".

Steady little fellow, but it really was time you knew."

[gopwinsin04]

Have some of these folks ever heard a Texas Aggie joke in their lives before?

[Howlin]

LOL.......well done!!!

[MarkL]

Hmmmm.... Leftists see nothing wrong about a rapist who gets oral sex in the oval office while speaking on the tleephone with congressional leaders, or when the former first lady uses the phrase "f*****g Jew," but let the current first lady tells a joke about going to Chippendales and seeing Ruth Bader Ginsburg there, oh no! The world's coming to an end!

In spite of popular opinion, not all of us conservatives are born again baptists. That may be difficult for the likes of David Korn to understand.

Speaking as one of those born-again Baptists, I have to say all of the shock and horror is absurd! How citified do you have to be to be hearing the joke for the first time about greenhorns milking a bull or stud? This is like rating 1930's movies with an R rating for sex and violence.

[Matchett-PI]

"I hope this isn't true. That definitely crosses a line."

"Isn't THAT special???"

[wideawake]

You couldn't be more wrong.

If it actually is appropriate for a lady to tell off-color jokes, then I am wrong.

[Howlin]

The fact that David Corn is egging them on tells us that either they are easily manipulated by the left, or that they are actively working for them.

Simply amazing. The only place these jokes were dirty is in somebody else's mind.

[Jackson57]

I would venture to guess that that joke has been around since before 1947 and wasn't considered risque even then. Get a perspective.

[milagro]

I think the main problem people are having with those who--like David C(K)orn--express "dismay" over Laura Bush's humor--is an underlying self-righteousness that tends to look at the "motes" in other people's eyes while forgetting the "planks" in our own.

Being moral and upright is wonderful--but I don't think too many Christians would be wise to pin their hopes on that for salvation. Christ's gift to us was miraculous because we DO NOT deserve it--and whatever "righteousness" we have comes from Him, not our own selves.

And when--acting self-righteous--we accuse others of "lowering themselves" to levels we assume we stand firmly above, we are in danger of letting our condescension show.

[ohioWfan]

I've never had an act that needed to be cleaned up.......I've been opposed to raunch my whole life........where it actually exists, that is.

The First Lady wasn't raunchy. She was edgy, and she was funny.
