Me, I not the type of person who faints at such.

Uh huh. I was right.

Why even bring that strawman up? I simply holding Malkin to her own standards.

Are you kidding me? Your entire argument against Malkin is a straw man! You don't know Malkin, and you don't set nor define her standards -- only she does.

In your eagerness to defend those jokes, you just decided in your own mind that if she thought a couple of Laura's remarks were unbecoming a First Lady, she should be so offended by the f-word that she wouldn't put it in her blog in any context. Neither situation has anything whatsoever to do with the other. And it is my opinion that you know that's true, and that's why you didn't answer my closing question. So, I'll ask again: Are you seriously suggesting that you would be in 100% agreement with Malkin if she had put "f*ck" on her site instead of spelling out the word?

Both Malkin and you are the ones who are defining the standards for the first lady. In fact we all do it.

In your eagerness to defend those jokes,

I never defended the jokes. I'm simply holding Malkin to her own standards. You seem to have a mental block understanding this. What part of that don't you get? Or maybe, like you accuse me, you are dishonest.

On this subject, yes.

Neither situation has anything whatsoever to do with the other. And it is my opinion that you know that's true...

AS I said before;

You don't think that the president and Laura Bush receive hate mail with the f-word? What about Rush Limbaugh? What about FOX news? I don't see them publicly and graphically displaying their obscene mail with all of the vulgarities spelled out. How cheap is that? How vulgar is that? You don't think their's another way to make that point without coming down to the level of the person who sent the e-mail? If they wanted to communicate that they received such obscene hate mail do you think that they would simply say that they received hate mail with obscene words in it or do you think that they would graphically display the hate mail on their website for all the world to see? Last week I received an X rated pop-up on my computer screen. Using your logic, it would be perfectly okay to post that picture here when bringing the subject up. What Malkin did was equivalent to what Laura Bush did and maybe even worse in that aspect.

You don't get it. IMO you're a dunce.
