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.

[Peach]

LOL. Some men do have trouble with a woman making any kind of statement, I've noticed that. You hussy you :-)

[Selkie]

[Howlin]

Can you believe the people who are OFFENDED by what Laura said can write that TRIPE?

[L.N. Smithee]

Mind not in the gutter? Where have you been? The Holier Than Thou brigade has absolutely wallowed in the gutter. For four days now.

Uh huh. Lie back on the couch, Peach, and let's go with that. Why does this bother YOU so very much?

[onyx]

This was the one I read and took exception to the Taliban comparisons.





Hell-low-ho.
One final time: this thread is a carry over from the pulled/deleted thread.

The Taliban comments were first posted on the pulled/deleted thread with GOOD reason. The posters demanded "scripture" to justify Laura's remarks!

[Peach]

Why does it bother me that people have called the first lady a whore and white trash? You're kidding right?

Aside from the fact that I've met her, like her and it's not true, what's to bother me.

[Howlin]

At least the last four months.

[Tungenchek]

JMO-- Michelle has just proved to me that the First Lady is not only head and shoulders above Michelle in class but in intellect aswell.

[ilovew]

Darn straight!

[TheForceOfOne]

Hey, doesn't Liberty Post have that guy who got booted and/or got into a legal dispute with this site?

If so, why would the Mod's let those people on here?

It's not hard to figure out that if you have cockroaches the nest is what you need to find.

[Peach]

I don't know a lot about the guy who posted there all the time but he got booted from FR, followed threads over here and posted them there and I think I read he was booted from LP now too.

Like I said, I don't have time to keep up with other web sites. It's all I can do to keep up with this one.

[TheForceOfOne]

I think that is very telling, the mask is falling off.

[what's up]

people have called the first lady a whore

You say "people". I took a glance at the thread and noticed that ONE person used the word "whore" in connection with the first lady. I don't think it was "people". And that person was roundly condemned over and over again.

I'm not sure what all your hyperventilating is about. A few were crass toward Laura. That is disgusting. However, the majority of those who had some criticism of the speech simply feel a couple of jokes were told that were unseemly. Does this deserve all your hyperventilation?

[TheForceOfOne]

Yeah, me too but I think we are infested.

[Jokelahoma]

And even Michelle Malkin can be wrong, as can you.

If you ever wonder why the younger generation looks at the Republican party as a tight ass, no humor party, you can just look in a mirror. The party as we know it will die if we can't learn to laugh at things that are funny, such as this. For crying out loud, try to find a way NOT to be offended by life in general. Sheesh.

[Peach]

Oh, we're definitely infested. Part opinion shapers and part radical right. It's infected the entire atmosphere here.

[pollyannaish]

Brilliant. You're right. It is about fear. I'm still trying to put my finger on fear of what exactly.

I understand why it bugs the left. But I'm still trying to figure out what terrifies the segment of the right we've seen here in the last few days. That's why, its almost hard for me to believe they are really from the right.

I do know I've seen more things I wouldn't let my children near written by those offended, than were in the speech itself.

[Peach]

How many times do you need to be told the thread was pulled. And it wasn't a few people. We're infested with nutjobs who have said the most vile things about the First Lady. I've never read such vile things about Hillary, discounting her fat legs.

[Peach]

That's why, its almost hard for me to believe they are really from the right. I do know I've seen more things I wouldn't let my children near written by those offended, than were in the speech itself.

That's an excellent point.

[FreeReign]

But I think the stripper and horse jokes were totally beneath her.

Is this the same Michelle Malkin that has the f-word displayed on her website at least three times?
