>>>... are outraged over a simple joke. And a funny one, too.

The President was poking fun at himself, but there was absolutely no need to venture into this subject matter and give the librats more ammunition to use against him. It was a bad joke done in poor taste. Politically dumb.

"Politically dumb."

Given the media climate and full-on Pravda-press we have going on in this country now, Bush -breathing- is politically dumb.

He'll be attacked for anything, no matter how utterly mundane and to-be-expected. The "outrage" over the 9/11 ads was proof. I even heard posters -here- claiming how "tasteless" that was, and frankly, I consider them the last holdovers of the "stuffed shirt" Republicans.

He'll get attacked no matter what. He knows that. So he does what he thinks is right, he relaxes, he says what he thinks at the time and he doesn't bother softening it for ultra-defensive, chronically offended leftists.

Nor should he.

I'm a strong fiscal -and- social conservative who also happens to think that South Park, despite it being incredibly offensive to -everyone- and most -definetly- makes fun of sacred cows, even mine, on a regular basis, it is still hilariously funny. So do most Freepers.

Lighten up. The Iraq War wasn't just about WMD anyway, and any Freeper -should- be aware of that.

No matter what the President says, these vermin are going to pick something out of it to be 'offended' about, and try to make a campaign issue. This year is going to be ugly,ugly, ugly. I am geting so disgusted, I have stopped watching the news channels (not easy for me to do!).
