Tell Savage he needs to get out more, the horse joke is an old, old, agricultural one. It teases city slickers for trying to be ranchers and farmers.

Mrs. Bush has been teasing him for years about becoming a rancher.

It never entered my mind that this was a dirty joke, since I have heard it all my life, being born and raised in Texas.

Even here in MI my husband understood the joke.

Besides why would Mrs. Bush even think this was dirty? It would not be funny if it was intended to be dirty.

Someone should tell Michael "Bush is scum" Savage to

SHUT UP HIS BIG FAT MOUTH!

Thanks for stating the obvious....at least to us Texan!

We Texan have absolutely no problem poking fun at ourselves....We do it all the time and think nothing about it. Laura Bush was just doing what comes naturally to her! Texans do not take themselves very seriously....People in the rest of the country do not understand this....Your not going to get out of this life with anything what so ever, so why not relax, sit back and enjoy life. And part of that relaxing is not taking yourself so seriously!

Was Laura Bush catering to the liberal crowd....No....she was just being herself! The pretentious people from the Left and Right Coasts, and Washington DC have no clue how to be themselves anymore! That goes for both the conservatives and the liberals!

We Texans have our opinions and if you ask us we will tell them to ya! But know in advance, Texans couldn't care less what you think about us or our opinions, because it just isn't that big a deal for us!
