It was an adult audience but there was no four letter vitrol; I thought she was pretty funny.

Beth has a valid point..allow me to expand upon it..90% of those in the crowd probably detest W..and voted against him..There's no way you can placate or win over these folks, so there is something that rubs one the wrong way when you try and get down to their level..you do demean yourself.. to what degree is in the eyes of the beholder..Even Tierney, who is the NY Times conservative new voice..and pretty even handed..still can't start the piece without using the word "yahoos" or "religious zealots"...which shows accurately the mindset of most in attendance.

What's very curious, IMHO, is that the truest statement that Laura said is the one that has gotten the least attention.."George hates going to these things." Absolutely true..he'd rather be out clearing brush than sitting their with all those pompous fools..

I'm with you. The Bushes have the MSM flummoxed. Part of the NYT apparently realizes it is flummoxed, but most of the rest of the MSN does not.

I agree, I don't see where anyone could say she really crossed the line.

I thought she looked very hot. If W is unavailable, I volunteer my services...for the good of the country, so to speak.
