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

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.

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.

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.

Take up a hobby. I suggest needlepoint.
