many FReepers are giving Laura Bush a pass on these remarks they would never have given Hillary Clinton, Tipper Gore, or Teresa Heinz. There would be a 2,000 post entry railing against their poor taste were they the ones who made such remarks

Truer words never spoken.

That is because we take any opportunity to bash liberals.
We do it fo the same reason David Korn pretends to be 'shocked, shocked' when Laura Bush does it.

It neither case does it have anything to do with the actual propriety of the joke.

I'm on record on these threads as having said Tur-ray-zuh would be a hoot as the first lady (actually I said that BEFORE she took the silly cheap shot at Laura, THEN she got on my fightin side).

The point being that some of us enjoy life and a good laugh at every opportunity. from wherever the source.

Might it be a matter of what your seeking? Lightness or darkness?
