I grew up with a saying that describes the Malkin type: She wouldn't say ---- if she had a mouth full.

[ozzymandus]

God, this is such BS! I never realized how many humorless, tight-assed, blue-nosed, a-holes were on FR. And until today, I liked Michelle Malkin. Hard to believe some guy in the stinking NYT gets it and so many "conservatives" don't have a single clue.

[Political Junkie Too]

I've stayed out of this discussion until now. This is just another example of the double-standard between the left and right.

This is why Bill Clinton can have affairs and the Democrats defend the indefensible, but Newt Gingrich and Bob Livingston have to step down from their positions.

This is why Bill Bennett gets a bad rap for gambling, which is legal.

This is why the Left always excuses Democrat behavior but dwells on Republicans, because Democrats don't profess "family values" the way the Right does, so it's okay to anguish over Republicans but dismiss Democrats.

The people who are offended by the remarks have to realize that their "offense" is being manipulated by the Left to drive a wedge into the Right. The Left (IMHO) is not nearly as offended by the remarks as their editorializing would have you think.

I thought Laura was hilarious, and I wasn't offended by anything she said. But then I'm just one of those heathen, earthy, crude West Texas gals who understands the horse/cow joke and knows it has nothing to do with sex or beastiality - and the joke is about a hundred years old.

Having grown up all my life around ranchers, farmers, and truckers in my family, all the jokes seemed rather tame to me, and were hilarious because they were so absurd. Dollars to donuts, Laura has never seen "Desparate Housewives" and the thought of her going to Chippendale's is totally ludicrous - that's why it's so funny.

I just cannot get my mind around all the hysteria and histrionics about this. If people choose to be offended, so be it. When it comes to humor, to each his own - whatever floats your boat. But to read anything into this more than just a difference in opinion about humor to me is silly.

Much ado about nothing.

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.

Michelle, Michelle, Michelle...

You, of all people, should have a firm grasp of the meaning of context.
Would you care to think that statement through one more time?

[leftcoastlibertarian]

Unfortunately, if you speak in public, someone will be offended ... So public speaking should be outlawed.

What made it funny was that she was a librarian who would never go or do those things. The milking the horse joke was as old as the hills. Otherwise Malkin Rox!!

I was hoping Laura might challenge Hillary in 2008...does this adversely affect that potential run?

[familyop]

I know that even our Republican congressmen have supported and voted in favor of quite a few man hating, family breaking laws against fatherhood, but our First Lady should not have pandered to the rebellious, "progressive" old battleaxe herd against families.

To be conservative is to love traditional family structure, and typical, leftist obfuscation cannot hide that fact.

[TomasUSMC]

The problem is that some conservatives out there like Michael Savage and Michelle Malkin NEED TO GET LAID!

Well she is a Skank and a drunk to boot!

[antiunion person]

But Teresa Heinz Kerry is a skank, just like Michelle Malkin is.

[Hildy]

If it were Teresa Heinz Kerry standing up on the dais telling the same jokes,

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.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Get a life Michelle. And screw your faux pomposity and feigned shock. If it had been Hillary, the press including you Ms Malkin, would be ranting about what a good sport she was and tittering about her clever quips.

[Thumper1960]

Ya know............................

Those whom many consider to be the founts of propriety have, I am certain, on occasion, cursed a blue streak and made drunken sailors blush. At the risk of offending the hardcore Bible-thumping religionists, I'd posit a whimsical thought that while the Christ was asking the Father to forgive us for we knew not what we did, He'd have had other words for the Romans, Pilate, et. al. cross His mind that would've shocked the Rev. Graham.

Not every librarian or Texas hand has 24/7 Puritan decorum.

You know what they say...'no one knows what goes on behind closed doors'.

Memo to Michelle Malkin:

SHUT UP!
