"I'm proud of George. He's learned a lot about ranching since that first year when he tried to milk the horse. What's worse, it was a male horse."

Is this accurate?

Is it just me that thinks maybe a First Lady should restrict comments like this in public?

Also accurate, but I thought her best line was "I'm the one who can pronounce nuclear."

I also thought Laura's comment on GW milking a male horse was in poor taste. Cedric also had a few bombs. But the Best Line was when she said her marriage with GW must have been destined with her being a librarian working in a library 12hrs/day [alluding to GW's supposedly never visiting a library].

I am sure there are 3 or 4 others, but it's just a joke. Give it a break. Be thankful we have a first lady who has A) a wit to her that is without ambition and B) security in the fact that her Husband is the MAN that he is....

my wife cracks jokes about me all the time. It isn't that big of a deal.

When I heard that comment I knew that was going to cause trouble!!!

It's just you. Reading it is not the same as seeing it. Laura is so sweet that anyone not a complete moron would realize it was a joke and totally implausable, that's what made it so funny, but you had to see it and the reaction of those who love her. It was absolutely hysterical. The same jokes, told by anyone other than Laura, would not have been half as funny.

It's probably not "just you" but it's sure not me. I loved it!

It's just you.
This was a private dinner for a private organization.
You wouldn't even be hearing about it if the remarks came from W.

I didn't care for it either. If she wants to joke to girlfriends in private, that's one thing, but I thought the jokes were out of line.

I don't particularly want the First Lady to sound like a "desperate Housewife" or think about her hanging around a male strip joint.
