It makes the same amount of sense as the other responses you made. Have a nice day discussing the heavy duty subject matter of risque jokes by politicians wives.
Oh, I'm sorry. Are we not being as social aware and globally minded as you would like? Geez, aren't you full of yourself? Can't we exercise our freedom of speech and discuss what we want? You're the one who interjected Social Security in this thread. So start your own thread if you don't like the fact that there are others who would like to discuss something different. Oh, I'm sorry ... I forgot ... HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Excuse me.
So, in things popular-media oriented, I resort to the wife test. I gauge my wife's reactions to the story.
She wasn't happy at all. She despises Desperate Housewives and the role it plays in continuing to coarsen culture. She asked why the First Lady would give any attention to that show. And, IMO, she's right.
With each passing month, the popular media gets more and more deranged. 20/20 did a show on strippers a week ago, and Good Morning America spent a lot of time promoting that show - as if we need yet another breathless expose of the fact that a wide range of women become strippers because of the money. Knock me over with a friggin' feather.
And I think there is a relevant point here. What the First Lady said wasn't that risque by this month's standards - but we are never going to arrest this slide by moving into the salacious territory just abandonded by the liberals in their march to Gomorah -and then calling it virtuous because the liberals have already slithered past that point.
Sometime, someplace, leaders have to say, no mas. Even if it ain't hip. Even if MSM reporters won't laugh very hard at your jokes.
Yeah, David Korn is a flaming hypocrite. Yeah, Laura wasn't as bad as a lot of stuff that out there. And sure, Laura got raves and approval from the MSM for being semi-cool. But at what price? De facto validation of the other side's depravity in the cultural wars? She was on the bully pulpit - and used it as a platform for fanning the flames instead of trying to pour water on them.
