I did not agree with Mrs. Bush's jokes about the President.

It just gives fodder to the Left and to Air America who distort everything she says anyway, even when it is not potty mouth stuff.

You know I feel the same.....when I first Laura doing those jokes...I thought why bother trying to fit in...when you have to lower your standards...and to give credit to the daughers suggestion.....

I really have exsperinced mixed messages from the Bush family....they are not always consistant in some area there are time it is hard to know which way or what did they mean by that?

How far and how long should one make allowances?

What made the routine so funny is that Laura Bush is pure as driven snow.

Looking at her life under any microscope...looking at how much they truly love each other, your moral outrage rings hollow.

Here's the issue here: Should a republican, conservative first lady whose husband was elected by "the values vote" be telling strip-joint jokes and legitimizing trash TV? Can that position seriously be defended? Go ahead and try.

Since there has been an avalanche of editorials espousing the Republicans are creating a theocracy and replacing the Constitution with the bible

...for purely political reasons, the routine by Laura was a slap in the face to people like Dowd and Rich.

Have you tried the Light Cranberry juice?

Actually I've never tried the Light Cranberry juice. I've only had the Ocean Spray Cranapple juice. Friend of mine had a kidney stone and it was giving him pain and his doctor prescribed Cranapple juice and he went to the local store and drank one glass after another and it completely flushed his system clean and dissolved the stone in his kidney.

I told him that's what Cranberry juice does!

So, then, it's sort of a brownie point system, then, and Mother Theresa or Billy Graham could tell some really, really blue jokes? Cheapening the national tone would, then, be, what...okay?

Your fault is in your premise. The first family has a higher calling than just to be funny. They can use comedy for a higher purpose, but I share Malkin's perspective on this, that it was in singularly poor taste.

The Religious Right voted in almost the exact same numbers in 2004 as they did in 2000.

It was Hispanics who gave Bush the margin he needed.

My question is...where do you find the time?

Personally, I have a husband who makes enough money to give me the time to spend as I please. And I *please* to stand up for the President and First Lady of the United States. If that bothers you, too damn bad.

And since you obviously don't understand the rules of this forum, we do NOT post about other posters without pinging them to give them a chance to defend themselves, no matter how ridiculous the accusations.

It is in the ear of the listener, as a result of our course society, that the joke would be thought of as a "masturbation" joke. It is a very old joke about city people not knowing the difference between male and female animals. That is all it is.

Yada yada yada......

chummy with the Clintons.....birds of a feather flock to gether!

What bothers me is this double entendre, the facade of being benign yet at the same time sublimally giving questionable programs such as Desperate Housewifes, and Chippingdales type places, masturbasion a backdoor entrance in our lives!

It your choice if some of you enjoy those things but there is a time and place for things like this....I don't look towards those who lead the nation to take us on a walk on the wildside!

It is the roll of a leader to lift us up as nation....not lower the standards!

Because they are not exactly like you want them to be at all times? GWB was elected to do a job. No more, no less. We can argue about whether he is doing that job properly but his wife and the rest of his family was elected to exactly nothing and that is what they owe you. Nothing.

Maybe, just maybe, you should understand that they are people who will not always agree with you and they did not ask for you to put them up on a pedestal.

Let me let you in on a little secret, no one can live up to your expectations at all times, not even you.

Of ALL the people, not just the cranky malcontents and continually unappeasables (who didn't vote for him anyway).

speak for yourself!

Those who are in leadership program are to honor the office
Buch loves to talk about how Reagan respected the office and at the same time does things that is question able in minds of the impressionable this nation is still trying to recover from Clinton and Joshlyn Elders!

This program was scripted not like it just pop out they even drag their children into this....

2+2 does not equal up here!

You think you are harmless you seem more like a porcupine!:)

I can't believe people are still talking about this, much less are still upset and obsessed with it.

When we all gether on Judgement day why don't you ask the Lord why so many are upset with a Nation Leader engaging with off color or potty mouth jokes?

You can think your pretty cool.....some of us see the hand writting on the wall.....to be concern.....our boarder are open and these words speak

The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in our American Army is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our army if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low without any temptation that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.
--George Washington

Now you may not believe in these words, but this nation lasted a long time because PROTOCOL was respected!

Well, it sure defuses the notion that a President that publicly embraces his love of God isn't capable of enjoying a risque joke or two...in a venue of assorted adults.

If that were true, the fundamentalist Islamic states would be the most powerful and long-lived on the planet.

In my ancestral home of Ireland, one of the highest compliments that can be paid to a man is to say "He is a decent man".

You, sir, have my admiration.

You are a very decent man.
