Having now read the First Lady's speech, I must side with the 'so what?' voices here. Nobody who grew up in the country (with the possible exception of Amish country) would find those comments crude.

While I agree that we have too mush sexualization of everything from the left... these comments are ... nothing. Less than nothing.

I am also continually impressed with the gentle good-natured ability for the Bushes to laugh at themselves, which reveals them to be genuine good-hearted people. Someone in this thread was dead-on when they noted that Hairy Terry Kerry would never be free to make any such jokes about her stuffed-shirt gold-digger husband.

I really have to wonder if anyone would have taken offense if we had not had the Clintons as the former administration. I think they tainted the White House so badly.
