Most of Mrs. Bush's humor at the correspondents' dinner was just right: Edgy but not over the edge. But I think the stripper and horse jokes were totally beneath her.
Just put it to the other-shoe test: If it were Teresa Heinz Kerry standing up on the dais telling the same jokes, the conservative commentariat would be buzzing for the rest of the year about what a tasteless skank she is.

LOL.. I'd be grateful if we could blame this on Candid Camera.

Candid Camera was too risque for these suspects.

Great and I think we should discuss how even good conservatives like Michelle Malkin and Peggy Noonan can occassionally write silly things and then be forgiven. However, it does disqualify them from membership in Howlin's female wolfpack. We have to draw the onine somewhere.

I like that :) Maybe we should take a vote?

You only have to read about 10 posts anywhere in these threads to get the jist. (gist?)
They all sound the same: angry, repressed, humorless.

But why the vitriol on this thread? Indirectly comparing Malkin to the Taliban and such? Malkin is about as far from the Taliban as you can get. She's a solid conservative. Because she didn't like some of the First Lady's presentation, doesn't warrant such a ridiculous comparison. Extreme over-reaction.I've seen numerous posts directed toward you trying to explain this, but you don't seem to care to actually consider what they're saying. I think a lot of this goes back to the Terri Schiavo threads.
There were lots of Freepers, including myself, who thought what Judge Greer and Michael Schiavo did was the worst sort of atrocity, taking advantage of a hideously written law to starve Terri Schiavo to death simply because she was (to them) a nuisance. However;
- We didn't think it was a good idea for President Bush or Governor Bush to send down a National Guard unit to engage the local police in a bloody gunfight in full view of the world.
- We were appalled at protestors who used their nine and ten-year-old kids as political pawns by sending them out to get arrested bringing water to Terri Schiavo.
- We didn't sit back and cheer ourselves hoarse as Michael Schiavo, George Greer and anyone else on the other side, as well as their family members, were subjected to almost non-stop death threats and some actual attempts to carry out those threats.
For these sins, among others (including taking offense when George and Jeb Bush were accused of being in bed with George Greer), posters were called Nazis, Good Germans, murderers, death cultists, atheists, RINOs and many other epithets too vile to repeat here. A number of Freepers actually received messages threatening and attacking their children and other family members. A lot of good folks who had been around here for a long time, people who contributed much to this forum, left in total disgust, and FR is a much poorer place for their loss.
Laura Bush makes a couple of mild off-color jokes at a roast, and a 1000+ post thread pops up where she's repeatedly called a slut, a whore, a gutter tramp and piece of trailer trash. A thread so disgusting that the mods pulled it (as has been explained to you numerous times).
To a lot of these posters you're attacking as being overly dramatic, it's deja vu all over again. Maybe some people just have a hard time getting over being compared to the people who slaughtered 6 million Jews and plunged the entire world in war and chaos. Must be some character flaw we "faux Christians" have, huh?
I've pretty much stayed out of this discussion up until now, thinking that most people would realize we have much more important things to worry about (terrorism, dealing with Social Security, getting some good conservative judges on the bench so maybe we can actually do something about fixing laws like those used to starve Terri Schiavo to death) than snapping st the left's latest bait designed to get the feeding frenzy amongst ourselves going.
Boy was I ever wrong about that.

I didn't say it wasn't the admin moderator's rule...I wondered why you were so hyper about it. Does it matter to you that much that Peach was not pinged?
We've degenerated into discussing pinging rules.

I understand about the Terri Schiavo thing. Those who called Jeb Bush et al Nazis etc. were way over the top.
Those who called Laura Bush a slut (I hate to even type it) were over the top. And now Michelle Malkin and others who think Laura Bush made a couple seamy remarks are lumped in with the Taliban.
All positions are wrong IMO.
To: baseballmom
They just cannot seem to find enough cyberspace to post nasty things about Laura Bush, can they?
Of course, quite a few of them are getting their "jollies" off typing the nasty words, you see?

Oh, grow up. Do you get so hyper about every rule that's broken in life? Sheesh.
