I agree. I think some have gone over board with this, but then, I am from what was farm country - when I was growing up. Now, we are overrun with transplanted northerners.

"Getting sake from a Sumo"? I don't get it.

To those of you who know.....it is like clock work....remember.

Later, have a great day.

P.S. Read FR's homepage....it makes things better.

I've seen female pigs do that to *gasp* other female pigs.

My dog too.... We could go on all day with exactly how untroubled dogs are by the idea of sex.

You sure are.

You can't possibly be that dense.

Lighten up, enjoy life a little.

Would it be different for you if the same jokes were made in the same room at the same event by a paid comedian, where the first lady's role would have been to simply laugh and blush?

Ya know, I think you're on to something with that statement.

I don't know if najida's being sarcastic. Gotta leave that to him/her.

Look, I hate to be sarcastic to you, HairOfTheDog. (You and I probably have a lot in common, too. Your ancestors were Norskies, right? and mine were Swedes. I like your description of yourself as sort of hobbit-y --I maybe fit that description a bit too.)

But some of your posts leave me flummoxed. E.g., I don't understand how you can keep flogging the idea that milking-the-horse is an "old" "farmer's" joke and that therefore it's somehow innocent and doesn't mean what "dirty-minded" people (like Michelle Malkin, I guess) take it to mean. That is just an absurd take, and MM disposes of it well.

(Btw, that's not the only aspect of the First Lady's performance I've posted about. So y'all can spare the "obsessed with male horse anatomy" tag.)

If you don't already understand the difference between actively promoting vulgar trash, and merely passively sitting there while others promote it in a situation that is beyond your control, then I can't explain it to you.

Thank you!

[HairOfTheDog]

So, now your argument is that it's not "masturbation", it's just grasping and pulling the horse's penis. Thank you for that meaningful distinction, Mr. Clinton.

You know, people who actually own horses have to actually ~do~ that. Its a matter of health and hygene. Neither party finds much that is stimulating about it, though it's hard to not joke about it while you're doin' it.

[sdpatriot]

yep.... almost fascinating to watch.. but i'm bored with it... again.

[yellowdoghunter]

LOL! What did I say in my FRmail to you guys....was I right or was I right.....I want my money!!!!

Anyway, this is really it, I gotta go. Keep up the good work. And REMEMBER!!!

Have a great day!

I am not saying it doesn't have to have a possible double entendre, I'm saying that the absurdity of it should mean it isn't taken seriously, and adults can find it funny, without going to hell. Spelling it out is crass, letting people think it through and take it wherever their own mind takes it, is not. IMHO.

[HairOfTheDog]

You're talking to yourself in public, you know.

Not only are they more stupid than they were back then, most of them want someone else to do the thinking FOR them!

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

I'm not sure what a "macro" is, or who you suppose "yourselves" to be, but unless it's in quotes, I wrote it. BTW, how's that Kool-Aid tasting? Grape or cherry today?

[tiamat]

I think he has "The Gift".

Liberals love unions and things like big government dependency.

OK - so now I see why you think it's different, but I wonder why you think it's better to be victimized by it, than it is to take the sting out of some of the jokes, by having them delivered by someone who clearly loves the president. We know people are going to tease him about the very things Mrs. Bush did, and having her do it makes him seem to be a man comfortable in his own skin, able to say, yeah, I am like that, and no, you can't hurt me by saying so.

[RushCrush]

I'M RUINED!!!

The self-styled "South Park Conservatives" will no doubt be pleased to know that the illustrious Al Gore shares their fear of "eeeeeeeeeeevil radical right fundamentalist Bible thumping Christians". Check out this post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1396490/posts.
