Scale Of Skankiness

If Laura Bush is at Wonkette level then I must be riiight about here.

Southern ladies do loosen their corsets from time to time; it's so refreshing.

UPDATE:
A baseball card to capture the moment?

UPDATE II:
Bill of INDC Journal is thoroughly milking analyzing the whole situation.
By the way, I heard the horse joke in elementary school, (it was right up there with "Wanna hear a dirty joke? A white horse fell in the mud") and thank God I did, as its hideous farm-life vulgarity steeled my delicate nature for having to stand at a supply sergeant's desk and ask him for one of these.

Malkin's comments are way over the top, about this.

Yeah, it was just too much.

I don't think half the people get it. Not even Malkin, who is usually pretty sharp. You know when she's saying that stuff it is tongue firmly in cheek, and you know it is to an adult crowd who is accustomed to far more racy stuff. It's funny because it is prim and proper librarian Laura saying those ridiculous things. No, if Ms. Heinz-Kerry said it, it wouldn't be nearly as funny, simply because of the differences in the 2 women. It's funny also because once again the Bush team has put one over on the media. Laura is beating them at their own game. Being a librarian myself, I can assure you although they are not prim and proper, they are very left as a group and were gob-smacked by this.

Michelle's a smart girl, so I don't know how she missed the boat on this.
I'm Southern Baptist and thought Laura's schtick was a riot.

I too, think folks are taking this way too seriously. After all, it was a "roast", was it not? Everyone was there to poke fun at the Prez. What Laura did was show they are just plain people. I think they compliment one another well. I especially liked the thing about her working in a library for 12 yrs and still met George.

As always, thanks Donnah!

Check out the "baseball card" that the TOPPS people put out for Laura Bush.

I can't figure out if they are celebrating or mocking her. Probably either depending on your POV.

Malkin has a giant bug in her ass. She is a tad too sanctimonious for me. Especially in her new column about this subject. I was bitching about her this morning on the blog. She needs to get laid or something. More chocolate maybe.

My gracious Southern lady grandma's favorite joke was the one about the little man with the speech impediment buying a horse. They bring the horse out and walk it slowly around the arena. Then the fellow says, "Let me see her twat." At which point the seller lifts the animal's tail for a better view of its, uh, posterior.

All right, all right - let's all calm down before someone gets hurt.

"Michelle, I'd like you to meet Sense of Humor. Sense of Humor, this is Michelle."

[Exchange pleasantries]

Ten minutes later...

Michelle: I'm sorry, what was your name again?
