Michelle Malkin rocks!

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.

"Lighten up?" How about cleaning up? The First Lady resorting to cheap horse masturbation jokes is not much better than Whoopi Goldberg trafficking in dumb puns on the Bush family name. Unlike many Beltway and Manhattan commentators, I do not think the Wonkette-ization of the White House is a good thing.

The First Lady resorting to cheap horse masturbation jokes

Your mind is in the gutter, Palladin. Most people took that joke as a poke at Bush's supposed "ranch" experience.

They didn't dwell on all the implications of it. At least I didn't.

Some of you people are like coiled springs, just waiting to be offended.

You're either a city slicker,very very young, or have lived most of your life very sheltered. The joke was about not being able to tell a cow from a horse. I can remember my granpa tellin me his granpa told the joke to him...It's older than dirt.

You, Sir ought to reread Lady Bush's joke telling (BTW this joke is older than dirt).
Laura Bush said Ol'George W. did not recognized the animal on the first try, nowhere is a resemblance of what you're talking about.

I do believe that your vivid imagination, is taking over the reasoning and common sense;

I do believe that "YOU are the one who needs to "Lighten Up"
