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.

It's definitely time to try and sleep. Again :-)
Don't let the creatures who've crawled out of nowhere keep you awake now, you hear?
Nite.
I'm right behind ya!
Night fellow Hellions.
Depends who ya ask ;-)
Oh, I'll be awake for a while longer anyhow. It'll just make my night more interesting to keep stepping on the little critters :) Have a good night!
Nighty night.
>>Howlin replies: and I merely pointed out that the accusation was not made against ALL Christians, just the most strident ones.
ROFL! Howlin you nasty little Christian-hater you! "Strident" Christians = Taliban, huh? You people and your anti-religious prejudices are really something. All hatred all the time.
Now YOU might be close to the Taliban. After all, they share your eminent disapproval of Christians.
For some reason, it's really important to the likes of you to call anybody who doesn't agree with their prudent views "anti-Christians."
Very unbecoming.......and completely void of anything close to reality.
You are being absurd. The extreme right is damaging our party. They are the caricature of what Dims portray us to be.
ROFL ...... you might want to look up "prudent" in a dictionary :)
As for being anti-Christian, is there really a question when you and your female friends liken the Christian Right to the Taliban?
I just hope you will not take such a hateful, ignorant approach in the future.
In years past I had this memorized.
Macbeth, Act V, Scene v
Macbeth has just learned of his wife's death:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
That's the quote I was looking for........LOL.
Hit a nerve, did we?
BTW, keep your nasty a$$ Freepmails to yourself.
What people are referring to as the "extreme right" (a typical leftist term) is the BASE of the Republican Party. Christian conservatives. Men and women of faith, Catholic, Protestant, and evangelical, even Jewish as Judeo-Christian Right would likely be more accurate.
And people like you attack them as the Taliban.
Now, what is more damaging to the GOP -- a few people dissapointed that Laura told some off-color jokes, or the rabid Christian-haters who condemn them as extremists and even Taliban!!!!!!!
It is those intolerant attack-driven "moderates" who parrot the media and the Democrats' attack on Christians who damage the party.
I mean, it's nice to be complimented as prudent, but I do not think that word means what you think it means.
I'm referring to the actual extreme right, you moron. I am a Republican. I'm talking about the fringe lunatics who want to throw President Bush overboard for inviting Clinton to help with the tsunami relief effort. Or call the first lady a whore or a number of other horrendous things I've seen written about her because they didn't like her jokes. I don't mind if you didn't like the jokes. I do have a problem with anyone who would trash our first lady because of that, though.
You're a frigging prude.
Exactly. The ones who claim to be "the base" but aren't.
Do you realize that this thread has over 1000 replies? Do you realize how insane that is? I mean, this is a non-issue!
Well, just think of all the men who aren't beating their wives, husbands, children, and pets tonight. :-)
