I agree, those jokes were a suck up to the Hollywood crowd. Would you want to hear those jokes with your family present? That stuff is so beneath her.
It's useless...I give up......
Can you believe this?
Don't give up!
BTW, what were you trying to accomplish?

Michelle Malkin? She must be a city girl. The Holier than Thou group will feel so vindicated and the hijacking of FR by the Taliban right will be complete.
Glad to know I fall squarely in the middle.
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.
I agree that this was a departure from what is expected of Laura Bush. The horse joke, though, isn't offensive to country folk, I don't beleive. Kinda like laughing at those who don't know a steer from a bull. I was actually more offended at the reference to Desperate Housewives than any of the rest of the material.
She was great and could pull it off precisely because she has class and is not the same as liberal women. As Rush said, if anyone was offended, they need to get a life. She was wonderful and a more beautiful classy woman you could not find anywhere.
I'm on fiber-optic lkine right now. They said it was fast, but I had NO idea!
Michelle understands this, and Nancy Reagans speechwritwer even wrote the material!
I didn't have a problem with any of the jokes she told. I thought she was pretty funny.
Wow, calling some conservatives the Taliban. That's pretty sad.
Are conservatives not allowed to laugh anymore?
Consider her audience.
the real point to be made about these jokes is not how people personally feel about them - everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course, and have different levels of what they accept as humor.
the real point is that we should have recognized that SOME people who vote with us, object to this. Like that angry 74 year old evangelical grandmother who called into Michael Savage yesterday. And we have a slim majority in this country, we can't afford to be p**sing off people over nonsense like this dumb dinner. what do we have to gain by letting the first lady do this? nothing, there is no upside, only a downside. politically, its not a positive for our side.
