Drop it, already. (Repeating prior post)
Firstly, I find it difficult to fault Laura Bush, in the following sense. I doubt, in the ultimate, her skit was of her volition. I have to believe this was an Administration decision. The jokes were written for her. The Administration decided that it would be “hip” to amuse the “cool” crowd.
I remember another such dinner, where freshman Spence Abraham, spent nearly his entire monologue “roasting” the alleged sexual misconduct of former Sen. Proxmire.
Gingrich followed Abraham. When Newt took the podium, he stared down Abraham with a look of incredulity, and though I don’t recall his words exactly, he reproached Abraham for his comments against a fellow Pub.
At end point, the skit has caused a scism amongst ourselves- this is obviously non-productive and only serves to help our enemies. Instead of faulting Laura Bush, the Pubs hopefully have just learned a lesson. As currently constituted, the cold blooded liberal sharks in the media are never going to be our friends, nor the idealoques in Hollywood and their coherts. These socialists are underdeserving of a laugh at our expense. In the future, our "roasting" jokes should be directed at them, and if they don’t laugh, all the better.
That said, IF Laura Bush made a mistake here, it would be her FIRST mistake as First Lady. We owe her the benefit of the doubt, and should get off her case. For those offended, I’m certain both GWB and Mrs. Bush have gotten the message. With due respect, I think we should drop it. To belabor this issue, only gives satisfaction to the socialists.
Those lib snobs wouldn't have laughed if she made fun of them but to keep the stereotype of GW being a dunce worked for them. I remember GW to honor the presidency. Making fun of him with "poor outdate farmyard jokes" wasn't that funny either. When Wolfe Blitzer, Jane Fonda laugh about it what does that tell you? You are in the Washington group now, Laura. I still do think that yu are the best 1st lady in my lfetime but Nancy Reagan or Betty Ford or Rosiline Carter wouldn't have done that routine. How about jokes about the unsecured borders & the line that GW says that illegals are here to do jobs nobody else will do. Let's here it about a bloated government with a husband that's NEVER vetoed a spending bill. If you want to talk about the farm let's hear about Sam Donalson getting subsidies for raising sheep or some like animals.
