It's important for liberals to keep this issue alive as long as possible to inflict the most damage upon the Bush family.
Regarding the horse joke, notice that the offense taken is sexual in nature. Now ask yourself: What kind of a human being can take the primary sexual component of a male horse's physiology and relate to it sexually?
To a well-adjusted human being, there is nothing sexual about a horse to which he can relate. The joke was about ineptitude and the fact that the joke's punchline consciously or unconsciously involves the mental image of an ignorant attempt at utilization of the horse's implement of reproduction for impossible purposes is nothing more than the absurd surprise which makes us laugh (assuming we have a sense of humor). But to suggest that the joke is improper within any context due to its purported sexual nature is evidence of sexual dysfunction or perversion within the mind of the suggester.
No sexually well-adjusted human being will take offense at the joke. Horses should relate sexually to other horses. Human beings should not, and anyone who can relate to a horse's penis in sexual terms needs to go to the doctor.
Conservatives are in overwhelming proportion healthy sexually and the idiotic left has once again overplayed its hand.
Did you hear Rush? He said basically that the only people who took this joke the wrong way were liberals. Hmm...
Oh, and he did say that they were the same people who were O-FFENDED by everything and that's it's ALL ABOUT THEM, sort of like when Clinton was in office: ME ME ME ME ME.
You know, that's a very good point about who is making a horse joke sexual and why most people don't even think along those lines. Thanks for chiming in...we need sensible comments like yours!
