The horse joke was about not being able to tell the difference between a HORSE and a COW, not an udder and a penis.
Which is why I will never donate to any RINO.
No, the first part of the joke was about not being able to tell the difference between a horse and a cow (not offensive, slightly funny altho overdone). The second part was about not being able to tell it was a male horse. Not exactly the same thing at all. Actually, it was a very adolescent joke (one I would expect to hear in a class of 14 year old boys.)

I began this thread being surprised that people are offended at the jokes, but now I am utterly amazed that the milking the horse joke got morphed into horse masturbation. And by the very same people who are offended. Maybe I'm just a city slicker so I didn't think about it beyond what you said, that is, not being able to tell the difference between a horse and cow. But there's an awfully huge difference between milking a horse by mistake and masturbating a horse. To take that joke and run it to the extreme of masturbating a horse, and then take great offense at the First Lady for telling a joke about sex with farm animals is astounding. Makes me wonder where those people's minds are.
"But I'm proud of George. He has learned a lot about ranching, since that first year when he tried to milk the horse. What's worse it was a male horse."
Sorry, it was a joke about a penis, not an udder.
That was sweet, TM. Laura is truly a gracious, charitable person and I've got to believe she interpreted the joke exactly as you did..
Ya'll lighten up. This is OUR lovely first lady you're chastising. I can't believe this thread..
