Why, when you know this guy is over the top, do you folks listen to him.
My take on this whole thing, yes, the Bush team played the conservative christians like a fiddle just like Jesse Jackson does the blacks. The Bush's needed every vote they could get. If they (conservative christians) aren't smart enought to figure that out, then that's their fault. But what's wrong with that. Connservative Christians got what they wanted.
Yes, Mrs. Bush said some edgy things and depending on ones tasts,and they don't have to be prudes, some of it wasn't in the best taste, but I doubt she's going to hell and I don't think she's a slut. And yes, it was a little of a let down, but then again, it's her life and what she's thought of by her public. If she wants the world to envision her husband "milking" a male horse, then everyone close your eyes and picture W and Mr. Ed with W's hand desperately trying to get milk from Ed on a special part of Ed's body. See, it's no big deal. It's a known joke in Texas told around the camp fire when city slickers come to town. And it's what she had you envision. Happy?
Yes, there are people who's panties are in a wad, but there are also just as many "no matter what they did" defenders. Get real people! Meet somewhere in the middle. Ain't the end of the world.
Good grief.
You said..."Yes, there are people who's panties are in a wad, but there are also just as many "no matter what they did" defenders. Get real people! Meet somewhere in the middle. Ain't the end of the world."
Your talking about being practical...a novel concept for some people.
My 1.75 cents worth
a) If Savage was as incoherent and crazy as some people on this thread say he is...he wouldnt still be on the air...and selling books. Radio station owners like to sell product and make money. He has a niche market...and he has a schtick to sell in that market. So what?
b) Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan are 'old school'. My late grandmother, who attended Mass and Communion practically every day of her life, and my mother...also a devout Catholic...are both 'old school'. There are lots of people out there who are still 'old school'. It doesnt mean I have to be old school...but I understand and respect those who are. Some of us are a mixture of old school and new school.
c) Lauras comedy routine...in making reference to Desperate Housewives, and stuffing dollar bills in guys g-strings at a Chippendales show...was definately new school. Not something Nancy Reagan would do in roasting her late husband. Not something my mom would be into either. Does that make it offensive...not for me...but for my mom and others like her...not offensive per se..but in poor taste perhaps..
c) If you want to sell ideas to old school folks...you need to have some old school ideas to sell. Sales 101. Alot of old school folks voted for Bush in 2004.
