Al Franken in 1996 talked about how expendable retirees are with respect to NASA saving money on astronaut safety and sending them to fight North Korea, and Newt Gingrich's daughter's menstrual cycle.

I expect that out of Al Franken. I do NOT expect this out of Mrs. Bush. Most of it was hilariously funny. But I think the part about visiting the Chippendales was uncalled for. And she brought into it the names of other ladies in this administration who may not appreciate the association.
