Yes, that sounds accurate to me.
And it was very funny.

Left out of that quote, in the elipses, was a line about seeing Ruth Ginsburg and Sandra Day O'Connor at Chippendales.

Yes, that sounds accurate to me. I am surprised.I thought someone was making it up to make her look bad.
Did the Laura Bush also say this?
"I'm proud of George. He's learned a lot about ranching since that first year when he tried to milk the horse. What's worse, it was a male horse."

Yes, she did say the bit about Chippendales, and then said she was going to keep it quiet, but they ran into Ruth Bader Guinsberg and Sandra Day O'Conner there. It was very funny because it was so implausible.
The whole bit was talking about George being a boring kind of guy, so the girls had to have some excitement. It was sweet, but you had to hear it to get the drift. Think about the POTUS being boring and the librarian being the daring one. It just showed what a real, down-home sense of humor she has, making fun of both herself and GWB.

Yup.
The First Lady shocked people. But she was very funny.
You should catch it on CSPAN. I'm sure they'll run it many times.

Is this accurate?
Is it just me that thinks maybe a First Lady should restrict comments like this in public?

I hate to constantly be the wet blanket...but I feel the curtain is going down, as the fiddler keeps playing.
clearly, sadly, (I am not a Christian) I feel like the end times are near for this great nation...

Also accurate, but I thought her best line was "I'm the one who can pronounce nuclear."

First lady Laura Bush (L) interrupts President George W. Bush as he was about to tell an old joke at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton, April 30, 2005. Mrs. Bush proceeded to roast the president, and got big laughs when she referred to her early-to-bed husband as 'Mr. Excitement' and called herself a 'desperate housewife.' REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst

You should catch it on CSPAN. I'm sure they'll run it many times. Do they have it archived? Cant find it. Cspan has a terrible web site structure.
To: swampfx
C-SPAN will reair the Correspondents' Dinner today at 10AM EDT (7AMPDT) on C-SPAN3.
See C-SPAN TV Schedules for times it may be repeated on other C-SPAN channels this week.

C-Span had a repeat this morning, but I did not see Laura. (Did see Cedric though...) There's a thread that followed the dinner last night, and all the Freepers were gushing about Laura's performance.
Lots of fun to read.
To: xp38
Thanks for the info...
I appreciate it.
To: swampfx
I also thought Laura's comment on GW milking a male horse was in poor taste. Cedric also had a few bombs. But the Best Line was when she said her marriage with GW must have been destined with her being a librarian working in a library 12hrs/day [alluding to GW's supposedly never visiting a library].

I am sure there are 3 or 4 others, but it's just a joke. Give it a break. Be thankful we have a first lady who has A) a wit to her that is without ambition and B) security in the fact that her Husband is the MAN that he is....
my wife cracks jokes about me all the time. It isn't that big of a deal.

A First Lady promoting a show I assume is about adulterous housewives and then describing a scene where the President of the United States is masturbating a male horse, in my view, is inapproriate.
She is called the First Lady for a reason.
