You know, I am in COMPLETE DISAGREEMENT with Ms. Malkin, but there is no way on earth I would now call her a non-conservative or even worse, start calling her a morally bankrupt Jezebel simply because we disagree. Anyone who thought those jokes were tasteless were probably hearing it second hand or are so ensconced in their pure urban environments that a joke about some city dweeb mistaking a horse for cow would can only be translated as something dirty...because there is nothing in their pristine urban atmosphere that requires them to deal with anything more dirty than tkaing out the laundry. A good countrified joke and the wink-wink to the ladies in the audience was PERFECTLY in tune with the Classy Lady we know as Laura Bush.
Really, Ms. Malkin, I think you're a real firefighter, and I appreciate all that you do, but there are just some things you aren't equipped to take into consideration because you've been in the city for too long.
