Her comment about George milking the male horse will certainly endear the Bushes to the liberals. And, too, the very hilarious comparison of her mother-in-law to Don Corleone.

It sounds like a set up on the part of the joke writer, but then Laura read the quips.

You think that the First Lady was endearing herself to the liberals by telling a joke about the Pres jacking-off a horse? How would that be funny?

It would not, because it is an old agricultural joke, and I'm sure it never entered her mind that some would think that she was telling a masturbation joke in public, because it defies common sense for anyone to think it is a sexual joke.

I have heard it all my life, it teases one who is trying to become a rancher, or farmer, who comes from the city.
