Tell me about it. This is the second time this particular piece has been posted today. Powerful laxatives appear to be needed.
Personally, I thought Laura was a hoot!
Well Boswell's spritual allies in the House of Islam may feel that way. But the rest os the English Speaking World, latin America, Europe et. al. will viewe DH with equanimity.
That the USA gives respect to wowsers like Boswell is another matter.

She's "gone Hollywood". She used the currency of humor she knew would titilliate the lefties in the audience. She wanted to fit in with the In Crowd. Why is anyone surpised? Look at her daughters. Look at her father-in-law. She's a Bushite.
Who is this "Boswell" you are talking about?
OK ya got me. I don't care how Bozo spells his name
I like what Diana West at townhall.com has to say:
"When a woman happens to be first lady, "funny" at any expense isn't part of the job description, not when "funny" comes at the expense of her husband's image. And I don't mean "image" as in public relations product. I mean "image" as in public symbol. World leader. Commander-in-chief. In these explosive times, with tens of thousands of soldiers under arms.
Which is a sobering thought, or should be."
I want the President of my country to be treated better by his wife, if not the MSM. Save the tasteless mockery for private occasions.
Richard Gere, Elisabeth Shue, Dennis Hopper and Jane Fonda are "Hollywood elites"?!? Please, for the sake of all that is good and right, someone tell the writer of this piece that it's no longer 1987.
I understand his point and it's completely valid. He isn't calling the First Lady a whore or anything of that nature but he would prefer that she not assist the crude part of the culture not be assisted from the White House.
RIGHT ON!
"Personally, I thought Laura was a hoot!"
Me too. Many here just don't get the joke. Don't waste your time trying to explain it to them either.
But Mr. Bozell is never wrong.
Dennis Hopper is a Republican and he admitted that he voted for Reagan twice. Elizabeth Shue's brother, Andrew, is a Republican as well, so maybe it's rubbed off on her. Jane Fonda's not a member of the Hollywood elite, but the media elite via her husband, and Gere is a wannabe Bono who despite his leftist leanings, wants to have connections to both sides of the isle for his world crusade against AIDs, third world debt, ect.
Brent Bozelle is just a social learning fundamentalist, he has taken the dogma of academic atheists like Albert Bandera and Walter Mischell, and wrapped Christianity around it. If more people knew the origins of jargon like "role models" or cliches like "monkey see monkey do", then more people would jump off the quasi-Marxist social-learning-theory bandwagon.

"Me too. Many here just don't get the joke. Don't waste your time trying to explain it to them either."
Ditto and......ditto.
There are plenty of people who "get the joke" who feel uncomfortable having it told to them by the First Lady.
