Yes, it's called self-deprecation. When you're called upon to take part in what is, for all practical purposes, a comedy show, you can bet the comedians aren't going to place you on a pedestal and make you look like some scholar. It takes a tremendous amount of self confidence to allow oneself to act silly like that in public.

Humor is perhaps the most personal of emotions. What's funny to some isn't to others. The problem arises when those who don't attempt to chastise those who do for having the audacity to laugh, especially when one is laughing at themselves. I found the Rove thing funny, as well as the burping. Others can disagree, but I won't listen to those who want to make those of us who laugh out to be somehow wrong.

I agree that laughing at something funny is therapeutic BUT this is nothing more than a 'MEDIA EVENT' and during a time that this nation is at war to BURB "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" is a slap in the face to this country and inexcusable.

To frolic, in public, with one the most propagandistic element in our society while our soldiers are dying for that elements right to do so, may be hilarious to some, to me it is sickening and reprehensible.

I'm sure that not all people in Oklahoma and the rest of the country think this episode, as a joke.
