No, you weren't ATTACKED; people COMMENTED on your posts; that's the way it works around here, and everybody understands that, except for the perpetually paranoid.
No. I was flamed. I knew I would be. I still will be flamed. I was told that I was the gutter mind. That I "hate" George and Laura Bush. That I have some other agenda. That my panties are in a wad. That my collar is buttoned too tight. That I'm a puritan. Etc. Etc. I expected that. I donned by asbestos suit. The flames don't bother me. What does bother me is the double standard here. Clearly, what Laura Bush said was not the kind of thing that should be coming from a First Lady. If Hillary Clinton had made these identical remarks at an identical event everyone on Free Republic would rip her apart for it. Laura Bush makes the bawdy jokes and not only are they not bawdy, but they are "cultured" and actually a good thing according to many. Horse nipples!
I never said the jokes weren't funny, I said they were inappropriate coming from her. It is amazing how many are so capable of defending the indefensible. This whole imbroglio is proof positive of how our society has coarsened and is more accepting of vulgarity - even among conservative Republicans.
