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.

Oh, come on, people. Et tu, Michelle?

I've got two words: LIGHTEN UP.

Some people might be a little put off by that, and I respect their sensibilities. But for the audience and the atmosphere, the jokes (remember, they were jokes) were not out of place.

Mrs. Bush didn't compromise her values and the President didn't lower himself to the level of humor of Don Imus (remember HIS 'humorous' speech a few years ago?).

People on our side need to watch their prudishness and holier-than-thou attitude. The fact of the matter is there are jokes you'd tell and laugh about with your colleagues and there are jokes you'd tell your Great-Grandma.

We're not all great-grandmas.

Heh... A few of my kids' great-grandmas would have found Laura's act tame.
