These were the only 2 areas that bothered me as well. Just a little too crass. Got to watch the bedroom humor. The culture has already slipped way too far into the disgusting area for the White House to indulge in it as well.
Laura was hilarious, but I agree, some of her jokes were a little declasse in such a public setting. Considering the fact that she almost never participates in such events and we rarely see her giving any kind of speech or interview, all the huffing and puffing about her jokes is a little overdone. We probably won't hear from Laura again about anything this year except for her book festival and the White House Christmas decorations.
I was afraid I wouldn't find anyone here to agree with. But, yes, I agree, I was sorry she said made those two jokes. It is difficult being a classy woman in the current culture, but ya gotta keep trying.

"Laura's schtik was just right, except for the 2 areas Malkin pointed out...the Stripper and Horse jokes"
Wasn't anybody bothered by the Desperate Housewives joke. It reminded me of the Sex and the City references in the twins' skit at the RNC, which was also objectionable.
For Laura and the Bush daughters to joke about watching lewd immoral shows which make fun of cherished family values suggests to the public that it is OK to watch this type of television.
Completely antithetical to conservative Christian values!!!!!
Actually, the whole skit that Laura did -- dissing & making fun of her husband in public! -- is contrary to conservative family values. It should always be remembered that the husband is the head. He is to the wife in the relationship of Christ to the church. She should always offer him respect.
This is the biblical view. It just confirms the world view of radical feminism & secular humanism when a woman in the exalted position of the First Lady of the Land fails to uphold biblical standards in such public forum.
I'm sure you'll be slammed and we'll be in the minority but I agree with you.
I'm with you--I winced at the horse joke. The stripper one did not bother me. But to think of the POTUS doing that to a horse...nope, not gonna fly.
I missed the horse joke. Can you post it for me? thanks.
