Shouldn't this Laura Bush joke get more attention?

"I'm proud of George. He's learned a lot about ranching since that first year when he tried to milk the horse. What's worse, it was a male horse." (Laura Bush at the White House Correspondents Dinner)

In other words, her joke is that her husband was masturbating a horse or at least fondling one, and that he did not know the difference between a teat and a penis. Isn't that an extraordinarily crude joke for anyone to make about the President of the United States?

...which is the one neocons all profess to live by. Their hypocrisy is pretty common, however.

I'd only heard it said that Bush helped Jack off a horse.

in their coverage of her performance at the dinner.

If Hillary Clinton had told a joke like that as First Lady .... yadda yadda yadda ... (Oh, but I forgot, HER husband was a moral derelict, whereas Shrub is a Christian, so his wife can tell a pornographic joke, right?)

send it to your church goers......see if they think it's funny that the Chimp's wife is joking about her husbands BESTIALITY.

Yep that is what I said. Jeff Gannon plays in the White House ---- GAY PRESIDENT.

President gets a horse off ---- he's into bestiality.

Here is my message to them.

I am seriously disturbed about the joke I heard Laura Bush made the other night. When she said of George Bush, "He's learned a lot about ranching since that first year when he tried to milk the horse. What's worse, it was a male horse." I sometimes have to watch over children and if they were to ask me why you can not milk male horses I do not know what I would say. This is certainly a very disturbing statement, so I was hoping that Focus on the Family would make a public statement about how to talk to children when they hear such filth from our public leaders.

Sincerely,
Bjorn Johnson

I will make sure to let DU know if I hear back.

You never know she could be serious.

Comparing her mother-in-law to Don Corleone? That's something I would have expected on DU, not coming from Pickles. It's one thing to "roast" someone whose present (or at least the body was in the room), it's another to take a blast at someone whose not there and can't shoot back.

Methinks Pickles is finally bringing her contempt for that old bat into the open a bit. This looks like the Pickles who would have been fun to smoke a couple of doobs with.

...were, undoubtedly, all informed ahead of time. I guess she could have refused to tell the jokes, but I doubt if anyone was offended. In fact, I would imagine that Babs loves her reputation for being an imperious matriarch.

Anyway, these people aren't as prudish as they would have their Christian fundie supporters believe. This topic has caused a real stir over at FR. The snake handlers over there are outraged but the bushbots are so loyal to B*sh that he could leave a bag of burning dog poop on their porches and they'd have it bronzed. And they're acting like Laura's jokes were cute and nothing to get worked up about.

No doubt all was well rehearsed...but I get a feeling Bunnypants wasn't privvy on all that was going on, all he was scripted was to get out of the way. This had the smell of a Karen Hughes to milk some of Pickles "popularity" to prop up her old man's falling numbers.

I'd agree, Babs probably enjoys when people tremble at the mention of her name. But dare I say, I'm glad the dragon lady was somewhat socially moderate...imagine if this hagatha had the zeal of a Shafly or Coultergeist...things could have been a lot worse.

Cheers...

to perpetuate the myth of Bush as an amiable doofus. They don't want the world to know what a real bastard he is.

and she was told to do them. They needed to pull out the old stepford wife who is more popular than her husband to help his crappy poll ratings.

Babs is a mean momma. Anything you want from Georgie Porgy, you have to go through her. I wouldn't be surprised if she was in the bedroom on their wedding night, giving directions.

George I hates Babs, wanted to leave her in the sixties, and she has complete control over the Bush Boys, who in turn hate each other and their father. I wouldn't be surprised if this fucking administration ends with President Oedipus putting out his own eyes and banishing himself.

says she's the bitch everyone like to paint Hillary.

:evilgrin:

And drummed out of the family.

Of course, after perusing Kitty Kelly's book, I realize that "The Bushes" would be just as appropriate.

I can't wait to hear Jon Stewart do "The Aristocrats" in the movie! (And I hear that Gilbert Gottfried is awesome.)

About her and Lynne and Condi and Karen Hughes spending their evenings at the male strip club, to the point that Pickles new nickname is "dollar-bill?" I'm sure the religious right would think that one hilarious! Too bad the Daily Show is the only outlet giving that one any airtime.

loved that one!!!

Every TV station that I watched just thought she was the funniest
thing since sliced bread

She made me hurl the whole time

They are all vulgar people

That she was joking, I mean. :evilgrin:

John Tierney, the new knee-jerk teammate of David Brooks at
the NYTimes op-ed page, wrote about this tasteless example
in his column yesterday. Check out the Readers' Forum, where
you'll find lotsa discussion. Mine is #606 (use search)
The Bushes, as evidenced by their daughters, are pieces of merde!

But, what can you expect from a Stepford wife trying to be hip.

In the form of a humorous epitaph

Here lies old Ben
Whose life was full
Until he tried to milk a bull

OK, different species, same idea.

It stuck with me because it's one of those weird examples of something way too raunchy for kids (which kids LOVE) that manages to work its way into supposedly "wholesome" materials.

Which the Egyptions copied from some cave walls.

He does a LOT more than masturbate that horse! LOL!

and then I couldn't stop laughing.


"Better yet, bring me two stallions"

Anytime his name comes up in any context, be sure to say, "Oh, that horsefucker?" When people look alarmed you can play them a clip on your iPod.

You can drop in casual comments like, "Before he was a cheerleader at Andover he was voted most likely to suck seed in equestrian camp."

The public now knows the truth, which we at DU have been saying for years: the guy sucks donkey dick.

Which wasn't as hurtful as comparing a former first lady to a mob boss:

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/152686p-134376c.html

that there aren't any horses on the "ranch' because * is afraid of them.

er eh....er....I'm milking him Laura.

:P

The Demo's have been reacting to Karl Rove's brilliant strategies. It's time to get ahead. What will be his next shocker? Running Laura for President? If she is running against Hilary, my money is on Laura. Who do u think the Red states will vote for? It is imperative that the Demo's have a plan to win back some of the moderate middle class lost to Bush, or no victory in 2008. Hilary might be the best candidate, like Gore in 2000, but she is not electable. Too intellectual for a large part of the Country. I hate to say it, but the Demo's need to find an equivalent to George.

Let's run King Kong for President. They run a chimp we run a giant ape, we'll run for sure. Remember size matters, who has the bigger monkey now.

:evilgrin:

now I wonder if I should give him that much credit. Idiot might be above his level of intelligence. Is it possible to have a negative IQ???

...the one about how if George wants to fight tyranny in the world he'll have to stay up later. This joke immediately put me in mind of 9/11 and how George had turned in by 11:00pm.

* hates horses - the milk tastes awful!

:spank: :spank:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I mean, yes coming from her it is suprising. But saying that the joke in and of itself was so bad that no first lady should make it is going too far. Especially for a speach at the correspondants dinner (that's where it was, right?) Those things are always loose.

So where is the outrage from the incessantly wholesome right wing?

that show is disgusting and denigrates women - objectifies women - the radical Fristians probably watch and tape it.

After all, there could be more to this story that shouldn't get out .....

..... yanno?

waiting for a photoshop of bush* milking a stallion.

You can't excoriate the woman for telling the truth.

Pretty good delivery.

We ran into it while channel surfing, and she sure seemed to get some aggression out that night. Bush didn't look happy about it, either--smirking but angry eyes and red face. That made it a bit funnier, too, actually.

She was better than Cedric, and I like him. He sure looked nervous, though.

Did he drink the "milk"?
Sorry, no one else said it, so I had to.

near the backside of a horse. He'd run to the nearest bar.

:rofl: Sorry, I couldn't resist. :rofl:

It would have been an easy enough mistake.

I mean if Hillary had said it.....

joke should have gotten more attention, imo. It's pretty much an admission that the whole texas ranch hand bit is an act. Which we all knew, of course, but somehow the press has seen fit to carry that water for him. Oh well.

Going on about "indecency" and "poor judgement" ... of course, neither Al Gore nor John Kerry would be foolish enough to mistake a horse (let alone a stallion) for a cow, so there wouldn't have been a premise for the "joke" to begin with.

Good point, Onlooker -- it does presume that the current incumbent is ignorant and crude, and it's actually rather sad that the man's wife would be the one to point that out to all and sundry.

on The View this morning.

Or is she gone after having the baby?

Or still on maternity leave since I have no clue when he/she was born.

as her daughters did at the convention. Remember those lame Sex and the City jokes??

And yeah, if a Dem. first lady made those dirty jokes it would be all over the news tonight and we'd be hearing from the Robertsons and the Falwells that the American people want a more "traditional" first lady and blah blah blah.

faux rancher and hopeless idiot.

God bless her once Democratic heart for pointing it out.

:D

Seriously.
