Oh please. People have been making "milk the bull" jokes as long as there have been cows. This just sounds like the rancher's version of a farmer's joke.

People need to get over themselves.

Exactly right. Loosen up, folks. No four letter words were used, no one was insulted, except the President in a jovial manner.

Right.

Even FR runs a cartoon during telethons of a line of cows waiting to be milked (and a bull, grinning, standing in line).

Anyone with a rural background has heard/said those kinds of jokes.

Yeah but could you imagine if Hillary, Tipper or Ms. Ketchup said it? The outrage would have pooring through the threads. This one would have been longer thatn I signed up to get the Zot. Kristinn would have already set up a stage in Layfayette Park, had the permit ready to go, speakers lined up, the anti-beastiality groups lined up and a fund raiser to raise the $$ to get Jim there. As it is, a few upset and most saying, hey, it's a ranching joke.

No kidding! I mean, come on, they own a ranch for cripes sake!

Being a stick in the mud must pay well these days. :P

I was going to say the same thing, these jokes are probably typical of ranchers or farmers. It's part of daily life, not at all related to sexual relations.

The complaints are just plain silly.

Coming from a semi rural area in Britain the cow/horse joke in various forms is so familar that it is laughable that anyone could be offended by it.

At the time I did wince at the Chippendale's one but on retrospect it was just a funny joke which was all the more funny because it was out of character and something that just would not happen. In other words a swipe at the MSM and their prejudices.

[OKIEDOC]

I have heard worse from my local minister at the First Baptist church.

Come on you old NITPICKERS give it a physical brake or does all the hand ringing come from trolls.

[MamaB]

Isn't that the truth? I could be called a "prude" but I have heard the cow and bull story since I was a kid. It just shows the way some farmers and ranchers talk about newcomers who do not know the difference between the two. In face, my older brother was in the Army going somewhere on a train. A friend of his did not know the difference between the horses and cows they were seeing along the way! Some people need to get a life if this is the only thing they have to complain about.

I thought her speech was wonderful and the audience must have thought so too, since they gave her a standing ovation at the end.

[JudgemAll]

The bull joke must have offended PETA and green bug farmers.

If it had been the fun about the sound of foetuses sucked out,they woulda cheered.

Indeed Free Republic had a "milk the Bull" cartoon for one of its fund raising Posts!
