Michelle Malkin: The Wonkette-ization of Laura Bush

Michelle Malkin ^ | May 3, 2005 | Michelle Malkin

[EveningStar]

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.

But this target-rich environment is too much fun, Trish :-D

“And here I thought all the single-digit IQs were over at DU.”

If you can count to 9, what is your IQ?

I’ll help you. The first number in the series is “1.”

“2” follows “1.”

“3” follow “2.”

“4” follow “3.”

“5” follow “4.”

“6” follow “5.”

“7” follow “6.”

“8” follow “7.”

And

“9” follow “8.”

Which is it?

LOL-LOL-LOL.. you sure it isn't milk from one of those Iraqi camels? LOL!

[TheForceOfOne]

LOL! I feel your pain!

[oceanview]

the lesson to be learned from 2000 is that they sat home because of a 30 year old DUI conviction. yes, I agree with you that its "small potatoes" in he scope of things, but the point is that it affected their vote. small things can affect alot of votes, and we need those votes, so why antagonize those people?

[onyx]

OK sweetheart. Just checking. :)

[MikefromOhio]

LOL nah, but when I was over there, I milked one of those huge camel spiders :) Well, actually no, I didn't. We didnt have many that big where I was

[Tom602]

I guess it never occurred to you that it's NOT your signup date that bothers everybody, eh?

I knew that already.

I have an unpopular point of view. I expect to get flamed, but I could do without the insults.

It was a vile thing to do. Those alive during the Eisenhower era can scarcely imagine Mamie doing such a thing in public. A lot of people aren't very offended by the killing of millions of babies a year, either. Things have slipped in our country...

[Selkie]

You nailed it.

But are they more angry than conservative or crazed than conservative ?

Damn, Chicken Little, aren't we being a bit over dramatic there? comparing what Laura Bush said to ABORTION? And I had already thought I have seen it all on this thread! Woooweee....

[Howlin]

I expect to get flamed, but I could do without the insults.

Couldn't we all? It goes both ways, you know; or are you one of the ones who'd love it if those of us who don't agree were struck mute.

[what's up]

I'm really the wrong person for you to be posting your response to

I'm just responding to your response to me. You had a question about "christians" or some such. My point is that good christians who voiced an opinion were equated with the Muslim Taliban. Way out of line.

[onyx]

Trust me, this is the ONLY part of my life, wherein seniority or age is desirable. LOL.

[exnavychick]

Uh-huh.

I don't disagree that feminism is-or has become-a tool of socialists and others of that stripe. However, IMO, it really seems out of place in this thread.

That was my point in calling it baloney. It's irrelevant to the discussion about the relative merits/appropriateness of the First Lady's remarks. Disagree if you like, and I'll disagree with you.

Have a good night.

[onyx]

But you saw some, didn't you? They're so frightening looking, I don't care what size you saw.

See Mike, "size doesn't ALWAYS matter." LOL.

[Howlin]

Can you give me the Cliff Notes on that feminism post: is it another woman hater rant?

[Tom602]

are you one of the ones who'd love it if those of us who don't agree were struck mute.

Struck mute? Not at all! You have every right to dissagree with me AND post it. I don't care. That's how you change minds. You know, the whole exchange of ideas thing.

I'm just going to have to get a more fire retardent pair of underwear.

Hi, wardaddy. How you doing?

I appreciate the tone of your post and have a question. Aside from the Terri matter, what position have I ever taken on this forum that you could possibly be to the right of me on? I didn't think anyone was to the right of me.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

well the biggest one we saw was about the size of a tarantula...not nearly as big as in some of the pictures....

spiders dont worry me, but show me a picture of Helen Thomas and I hide for a week :)
