Why I'm not a 'South Park Conservative', by Michelle Malkin

Tomkat: Nothing qualified at all about my apology. I was wrong. Whether the First lady admits her mistake or not is immaterial to my apology.

"There were faults on both sides" is NOT an unqualified apology.

[Palladin]

What would Jesus do?

[restornu]

You really are confused!

[Alia]

Ella -- In re Afghanistan. That also occurred to me when reviewing First Lady's speech. She's got some very hefty goals she's working on and toward. I thought her roast showed that not only is she willing but ready to get her hands dirty and do the work. Working to improve young boys' lives: and continuing her work in Afghanistan. First Lady gets high marks from me, always; but especially in light of her roast. She's a very skilled lady. She's done her job well; and now she's ready to get into it.

I dip into these threads.. and I wish more people were involved in politics; they'd have a much keener appreciation for what kind of person constitutes a winner versus one that sounds good but loses elections and issues.

[Chunga]

Uh, no.

That's so cute. It's always fun to read what passes for phlegmatic contradiction among the terminally self-conscious.

You're all over the place. If you'll answer the first question I posed to you in this thread you'll be getting near a topic, at which point we can have a conversation. Until then, buzz off.

[DCPatriot]

What would Jesus do?

Dunno. Perhaps, as some suggest, have an affair with Mary Magdeline and have offspring?

[sinkspur]

Uh oh. The National Auxiliary for the Godly Serious (NAGS) are all over you, now.

[Palladin]

And then go to the Washington Correspondents' Press Dinner and crack jokes about it?

[Dog Gone]

Great argument. Nice talking to you.

[Oztrich Boy]

I would simply ask, would it have been appropriate, say, twenty or forty years ago?

Harry Truman talking to some White House guests said he thought the Rose Garden needed some manure.

One of guests drew Mrs Truman aside and said "Could you suggest to the President that he calls it fertilizer, instead of manure.

Mrs Truman sighed "You have no idea how long it took me to get him to call it manure"







Thank you. I'm here all week, Enjoy the vael.

I agree with Michelle Malkin here.

The problem I have with South Park is not so much that it is the equivalent of juvenile sixth-grade potty jokes.

It is that there is no wit involved. It is pure stupidity.

[Voir Dire]

Most of The First Lady's funny lines were new takes on old jokes. Yet, coming from her, it was a refreshing and successful attempt at good humor, and it diffused some of the libs tactics; she stole their thunder.

[wardaddy]

Michelle honey I love and admire you dear but we need to pick our battles.

I'd rather stick to immigration....something which you have been splendid about.

[DCPatriot]

and it diffused some of the libs tactics; she stole their thunder.

Exactly the point I made earlier.

Knocked the wind out of Mo Dowd and Frank Rich and all the other media claiming the GOP are bringing us a theocracy.

[SerpentDove]

**You don't have the right to demand that Laura Bush not watch certain things on television -- unless someone forgot to tell me that the Thought Police had begun to rule recently.**


Actually, she already admitted she never watched it.

[Oztrich Boy]

The problem I have with South Park is not so much that it is the equivalent of juvenile sixth-grade potty jokes.

It is that there is no wit involved. It is pure stupidity.

It is less arrogant to say "I don't get it"

[BigSkyFreeper]

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.

Take up a hobby. I suggest needlepoint.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Knocked the wind out of Mo Dowd and Frank Rich and all the other media claiming the GOP are bringing us a theocracy.

Exactly. It left those two dingbat social commentators reeling.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

speak for yourself!

You are perfect in every way?

Hmmm I seem to recall that there was only One who was perfect.

You ain't Him.

[Oztrich Boy]

Apparently that's what Laura said George did. Haven't you been paying attention?
