I think the point is that if 'Pubs made these kinds of "jokes", they'd be tarred, feathered, run out of town on a rail, shot, hung, drawn and quartered by the media and the 'Rats. If 'Rats make these "jokes", they get a free pass and it's the fault of the 'Pubs that they don't have any sense of humor.

So which is it? If the 'Rats get a pass on this kind of "humor", so should the 'Pubs. If the 'Rats are going to play the "offended" card at every 'Pub gaffe, then then 'Pubs should be free to play the same game against the 'Rats.

The same standard should be applied. And not just on the gaffe playing field. I'm blaming Obombah for everything and anything that goes wrong, going back to noon on Jan. 20th. The 'Rats blamed George Bush from Day One for everything, from a supposedly "bad" economy to the fact that their $hit stunk. If they played it that way with us, I'm playing it that way with them. Let them squeal, I don't care, it's music to my ears.

When liberals would get their knickers in a twist about these sorts of things I said it was silly and it wrong. I was in good company and a very large conservative crowd when I said that again and again over the years. The principles haven't changed here but the crowd seems to have gotten smaller now that it is "our guys" playing the "I'm offended" card.

My principles haven't changed just because the tactic worked for somebody else and it appears that it might be useful now.
