Michelle Malkin: The Wonkette-ization of Laura Bush
Michelle Malkin ^ | May 3, 2005 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 05/03/2005 2:10:11 PM PDT by 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.

I acknowledge one year in age every other year. Understand?

Well, I can only state after almost a week of some of the nonsense that has been leveled at Laura Bush that people's tempers are frayed. You didn't see the previous threads. Fair enough. But take it from someone that did, they were pretty vile. Someone else stated the anger in this thread is a backlash to what was previously spoken by these individuals. I'd say that's a fair assessment.

That Laura's comments were a "national disgrace"? Or that Laura is "white trash"?

Please...like I said you may find one or two but the vast majority simply thought Laura made a couple of tasteless jokes.

YOu can't swing a dead cat around here

More hyperbole. Just an excuse really for not being able to find ANY people on this board who think Laura is "white trash".

If Good Christians are really Good Christians and they know the comparison to the "Taliban" doesn't fit.. why are they even bothering to be upset by the comparison to the "Taliban".

Are you serious?

Howlin.. it's only the "good Christians" who were compared to the Taliban, I thought I read. That leaves all the rest of us as "bad christians"?

Truth be told, there are some christians who are "holier than everyone else". Some of us just fail to observe their "holiness", I guess...

FOR THE TENTH TIME, it's not ALL Christians

Who said it was "ALL" christians? The good christians who didn't like a couple of Laura's remarks were equated with the Taliban. What's your point?

OMG! You couldn't be more wrong!
Why does Jim pull threads? This nasty one was at 670, or thereabout? I wish YOU could read the posts about Laura.
You'd be stunned.

You said:

My point is that good christians who voiced an opinion were equated with the Muslim Taliban.

and I merely pointed out that the accusation was not made against ALL Christians, just the most strident ones.

Excuse me, but that's WHY it's so funny...because it's said by someone you wouldn't expect it from. These people really need to lighten up.

Precisely!

And good grief, is this thread incredible or what? It reminds me of the radio station owner who fired Dr. Johnny Fever because he once on the air had said the word "booger."

The post was pulled, but you can read down the thread aways and get the drift.

It was perfect! I wouldn't change a thing!

Kind of reminds me of all the criticism of the twins at the convention.

Those girls reached lots of young people on their own level. We needed those votes.

If the girls came across as stuffy old ladies it would not have helped at all.

It's too bad you didn't get a chance to direct your anger at whom it was due instead of taking it out on those who don't deserve it.

Why wouldn't I be? Getting upset over someone calling you names is not at all like Him; and it just shows me someone's ego is feeling challenged.
