The First Lady and the off color joke: Prudish liberals lack sense of humor

Liberals who have ZERO problem with Bill Clinton walking around the White House with his trousers around his ankles and an intern suction-clamped on, throw a gasket when Laura tells a little mild R-rated joke.

Please.

Spare me the hypocrisy.

[Alkhin]

Im another conservative female who thought Laura was HILARIOUS...but in some quarters I hear that makes me a whore...and a RINO...and a refugee from DU...and a Socially Unacceptable Person.

Oh well. Im just glad I don't check into FR just so I can find out what value is the right one and get instructions on how to live my life as a conservative. I'd be in the nuthouse if I took some of these people's idea of Life seriously!

Wneighbor, it's good to see you posting again.

[Jokelahoma]

Any columnist still writing about this as though it were news should lose their job immediately. It was A) funny, B) worth it to see the professionally uptight have a mass panty-wadding fit, and C) long enough ago to no longer qualify as worthwhile column material.

Laura was funny. I thought so that night, I thought so the next night and I still think so.

It's my opinion, I won't change it and frankly couldn't care less if anybody disagrees with it.

[texasflower]

WHY are you trying to start this up again? Enough already.

[texasflower]

I liked it too.

[Wneighbor]

Hi Alkhin! I got that same kind of reaction from some church friends here. Guess I'm not quite squeaky clean enough for 'em... but I don't care. Laura was funny and it wasn't tasteless as they would make it seem. WE are definitely counted amongst the conservative women who actually HAVE a sense of humor! :-)

WHY are you trying to start this up again?

I got bored - but now it's time for bed. Good Night and sweet dreams TexasFlower

[Brilliant]

The liberals are not prudish. They simply think you are prudish, and they are trying to make the most of it.

Typical liberal strategy. It's sort of like the fact that they complain about Bush's deficit. They love deficit spending, but they think that since Republicans don't, they can make it into a wedge issue.

[Wneighbor]

Yes ma'am! We, like Laura, can enjoy a little humor and still be fine conservative Texas ladies! :-)

[texasflower]

Good night to you rface. :-)

[texasflower]

fine conservative Texas ladies! :-)

That's right! God Bless Texas!

[pollyannaish]

LOL.

[Ramius]

...Bill Clinton walking around the White House with his trousers around his ankles and...

I'm chuckling at the Halloween costume I used sometime in the mid-90's... got a Clinton head mask, put on a suit with swim trunks, and pants around the ankles... walked around the party handing out condoms. Was a big hit.

Better even than my "Alex" costume from Clockwork Orange. Nobody seems to get that one anymore. :-)

Can I be an honorary Conservative Texan lady? I thought it was funny but I'm from Wisconsin . . . does that count me out?

I love the labels of "professionally uptight" and "Perpetually Perturbed Conservative" . . . they made me laugh out loud!

[KarlInOhio]

If Hillary had told these jokes about President Bush, the liberals would have thought they were hilarious. Even if she told them about XXX-42, they would have thought they were funny. They just all Republicans and are looking for a reason to feign outrage.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

It was jokes like that that got me thrown out of Miss Madden's fifth grade class at the Thomas A. Watson School.

That's nothing. I was drummed out of the Cub Scouts for eating brownies.
