Laura Bush Little"tramp"on the prarie"

[GotZoom]

I have a sense of humor and on occassion like off color jokes,however Laura Bush went over the top and was an embarrassment to all conservatives...
In front of a audience who included Jane "Hanoi"Fonda and Michael Moore who were on invitation...along with invites to the Liberal press and other "Hollywood" types blasted family values with her off color and inappropriate sexually oriented jokes aimed at the President...Has the Republican party gone mad?What the hell are they thinking?Do they not realize that they just gave fodder to Radical Islam...By her comments she made it known that the highest level in our government are pervs and just plain weird!

I'm totally disgusted and wish that I never voted for GW,he just on all of the Family oriented conservatives who put him in office!

Your post is a joke right? You really find this "roast-type" behavior embarrassing? She didn't reference anything nearly as bad as previous true activities certain presidents admitted (and shamefully denied) openly.

I wonder how people would feel about this if Hillary had made jokes about her husband.

We all know that Hillary has a lot more ammunition.

There are alot of folks begining to think that they made a mistake voting for Dubbyuh. Have you seen his poll numbers lately?

But, good lord, think of the shrill cries of outrage from the right wing-nuts had someone like Michael Moore...or Jane Fonda...or Whoopie Goldberg had made such comments...all in good fun mind you.

It never ceases to amaze me how the GOP and DNC find anyone who thinks out of the box to be off their rocker...I made my concern for this rediculous attempt to passify one anothers party clear, and gave the potential results of this inappropriate humor during a time of war! I really wish all of you cyber warriors would refrain from using "Chill Pill","up tight" and "off the rocker" it is really old hat 70's material...at least be a little more creative when blasting anothers opinion...I used the "DOH" because it was fitting the response critique...golly gee "if it feels good do it" another 70's pun! :cof:

I will not be laughing when the enemy launches it's next attack citing our Whitehouse degredation...will y'all be laughing?Just curious!

I hope you were, then, are concerned about Bill's indescretions and ridiculous defense about it as you are now about Ms. Bush's attempt at humor.

I never defended Bill Clinton or his administration...however have you paid much attention to the news lately...who has taken Billy under the wing...humm...Bush 41 says he is the father Bill never had,Jeb Bush calls him Bro.and Bush 43 sends him on a relief mission with Bush 41...and by the way other than the joke about the horse being jerked off by the President..."Tried to milk a male horse" of course Laura was not serious,however Radical Islam will find no humor...just fodder!

Yup I'll bet you will be rolling on the floor when al Quaida and Osama make their next terrorist attack using new recruits thanks to Laura and the wonderful and intelligent GOP writer! They love anti USA fodder especially when it appears as if they are correct thinking we are nothing but pervs! :read:

Dude, it's not like al-Qaeda was sitting around looking for a justification to launch another attack on us. They already hate us - we're the "Great Satan," remember?

And if you are really serious about the US looking like a country of perverts, then I'm sure that you are ready to outlaw strip clubs, pornography, prostitution, etc. etc., right?

Don't you guys know that Osama binForeseean foresaw Mrs. Bush speech and thus this was the real reason behind 9/11?

I never said you defended them.

You made a statement that the "enemy" will use this (as an example of the degradation of the White House) as an excuse to attack the United States.

My comment was to point out that the "degradation of the White House" started long before Ms. Bush's attempt at humor. Therefore, the concern should have started long ago also.

I agree with gop_jeff - the enemy isn't worried about finding reasons to attack us. They feel they have all the need.

Another Opinion:

Laura Bush Talks Naughty
By JOHN TIERNEY

Published: May 3, 2005

When King Agamemnon and his fleet of warships were becalmed in the Aegean Sea, he ordered his wife to fetch their daughter so she could be sacrificed to the gods. It worked, sort of. The winds picked up and blew the Greek ships to triumph at Troy, although Agamemnon's wife did murder him later.

Republican presidents rely on a slightly less cruel sacrificial ritual for their problems. Their wives appease the media gods with comedy routines.

Each spring, when politicians and reporters convene for formal dinners that are supposed to be funny and are often compared to root canals, they talk about Nancy Reagan's "Secondhand Clothes" the way fans talk about the 1927 Yankees. The Reagans' image for conspicuous consumption was never the same after Mrs. Reagan put on rags in 1982 to sing a lampoon of her spending habits.

But on Saturday night, Laura Bush set a new standard. After interrupting her husband and telling him to sit down, she did a stand-up routine that included what was probably the first joke told in earshot of a president that involved him and a horse's phallus.

Mrs. Bush called her husband Mr. Excitement for going to bed by 9 o'clock and turning her into a "desperate housewife." She said that Lynne Cheney's Secret Service code name became Dollar Bill after they both went to Chippendales (where they ran into Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg). Noting that Andover and Yale did not have "real strong ranching programs," she said Mr. Bush had started his ranching career by trying to milk a horse - a male horse.

Her timing had the audience howling, and the edgier lines had them gasping. Jokes about pent-up sexual frustration from a prim librarian? With her born-again husband sitting there and enjoying it? And cameras recording it for Republican preachers who are determined to get sex out of schools and off television?

For the mainly Democratic audience - this was a crowd of Washington journalists and luminaries from Hollywood and Manhattan - it was an evening of cognitive dissonance. How to reconcile this charming image on stage with the Bush they love to bash?

Mrs. Bush's performance, and her husband's reaction, wasn't a shock to the reporters who cover the White House. For years they have tried to convince their friends outside Washington that Mr. Bush is actually not a close-minded dolt, and Mrs. Bush is no Stepford Wife or Church Lady. Yes, they're Texans who go to church and preach family values, but they're not yahoos or religious zealots.

The coverage of Mrs. Bush's comic debut may change some minds, but for devout Bush-bashers, it's much easier to stay the course. If you live in a blue-state stronghold, a coastal city where you can go 24 hours without meeting any Republicans, it's consoling to think of the red staters as an alien bunch of strait-laced Bible thumpers.

Otherwise, how do you explain why they're Republican? Or answer the question Democrats asked in astonishment when they saw Mr. Bush's vote totals: Who are these people?

The favorite Democratic explanation is that the red staters are hicks who have been blinded by righteousness, as Thomas Frank argues in "What's the Matter With Kansas?" He laments that middle-class Kansans are so bamboozled by moral issues like abortion and school prayer that they vote for Republicans even though the Republican tax-cutting policies are against their self-interest.

But middle-class Americans don't simply cast ballots for Republicans. They also vote with their feet, which is why blue states and old Democratic cities are losing population to red states and Republican exurbs. People are moving there precisely because of economic reasons - more jobs, affordable houses and the lower taxes offered by Republican politicians.

They're not moving for the churches, and they don't vote for Mr. Bush simply because he reads the Bible every day. One of the main reasons they like him is that he gets bashed so often. When Jon Stewart sneers at him, they empathize because they're used to being sneered at themselves.

They know what their image is in Manhattan and Hollywood, and they know they're not all that different from the Democrats in those places. They, too, watch "Desperate Housewives," and they're not surprised to hear Laura Bush doing Chippendales jokes. They've spent their own dollar bills there. They don't see anything the matter with that - or with themselves.

So you and GOP Jeff have come to the conclusion that since our enemy has enough reason to attack us a little more fodder is okay? Geez... is this bright deduction or what!

ps:sorry about the confusion about you saying you never said I was defending the Clinton administration...your last post addressing this was a little confusing...

 

[dmp]

I think I heard that Laura Bush has said the word 'Penis'.

!! :eek

I'm not going to tip-toe around every day worried that I might offend some insane lunatics who think that by dying they will be placed at the foot of Allah with a bunch of virgins ready to do their bidding.

ps: no worries.

archangel,

If you truly believe that the terrorists are going to go out tomorrow searching high and low for an American to kill simply because Laura Bush mentioned that she watches Desperate Housewives then you really are off your rocker.

The terrorists have their reasons for killing Americans, we are threatening their way of life and they believe that if they kill enough people, we will chicken out and go home. It has nothing to do with Abu Ghraib, nothing to do with Laura Bush...get a grip.

Why is Laura Bush showing a wacky sense of humor automatically considered "pandering to the left?" My god...is anyone who makes a potty joke a stoolie (pun intended) for the whacko liberals???!?!?!??!

You all have to take a breath...you are acting exactly like the right-wing nutjobs that the left always accuses all of us as being. The woman was at an adult cocktail party...she made jokes...not about anything serious, not about the war, the soldiers, Muslims...but rather about how her husband goes to bed early, leaving her up and alone watching TV...you could hear this in almost any household in America...there is nothing racy about that...she did not tarnish her image at all.

The other jokes, those about Chippendales, etc. were so OBVIOUSLY tongue in cheek that it saddens me you took them so seriously, no one thinking clearly would.

When you watch Road Runner cartoons do you actually think that coyotes were harmed in their making?

The First Lady gave a funny speech at a dinner notorious for people trying to lighten up and give funny speeches. The only difference is that Laura Bush was actually funny.

But way to prove the liberals right by instantaneously trying to slap her down for having the audacity to express something other than absolute upright, rigid, "Christian" morality at all times...and not allowing her the right to be a human being...joking about her husband.

SHEESH!!!!

I'm not going to dignify your comment with a response...except...I bet ya have placed alot of dollars in the old jock strap eh!

There are alot of folks begining to think that they made a mistake voting for Dubbyuh. Have you seen his poll numbers lately?

But, good lord, think of the shrill cries of outrage from the right wing-nuts had someone like Michael Moore...or Jane Fonda...or Whoopie Goldberg had made such comments...all in good fun mind you.

The difference is in the time, place, and intent. This was a Roast, and frankly I didn't find anything raunchy or out of line about it. At times, it's self deprecating, the First Lady jokingly putting herself in situations that contradict her persona and reputation.

When the people you mentioned are doing it, they are being hateful. They aren't poking fun, they are being trashy. Their platform isn't a roast, but a campaign rally or a propaganda film. People with a lick of sense see the difference, but I suppose that leaves you out.

Oh, and you can take your poll numbers and shove them. Polls mean squat, unless they are in November.

Outside the box is fine, just try to stay in the solar system. Simply put, you're overreacting. They have this every year, it's not that big of a deal.

Tell you what, if there is an attack and terrorists cite this as a reason for doing it, I'll come back here and tell you how right you were. Considering the fact that it won't happen, I hope you will have the nuts to come back here and admit how wrong you were.

Now, take a chill pill, you uptight rockerless 70's reject.

You're not going to "dignify" the comment with a response??? Seems to me that the comments were pretty valid and your so-called response was vapid, insulting and petty.

Laura Bush is as entitled to have a sense of humor as anyone. I didn't hear or read anything that I thought was out of line considering the forum and context in which it was delivered.

Look around at the other opinions offered in this thread. Guess you're the only one here who is "right" on this one. All the rest of us are just a bunch of jockstrap stuffing pervs. Right.
