[Dr. Shane]

The liberals cannot even let the First Lady tell a few jokes without trying to stir up Bush-hate. Truely sad. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Great cartoons!

I think everybody was surprised when Laura turned out to be such a risque jokester. I heard a woman caller on Rush's show the next morning bemoaning the horse-milking joke. She thought Laura was off base.

I wonder what Laura's point was. Perhaps to try to stabilize Dubya's falling numbers. But I must say, she's looking great herself.

Great enough to take Hillary on at the next election?

Maybe it was just to be funny. That is what politicians do at these events. There is nothing more to it. What surprises me is all the feathers she ruffled. The radical right is upset due to her type of humor and the radical left upset because she was actually funny.

I thought these were cute. A few of them made me go ouch too!

I really like Laura. She is my 2nd favorite republican first lady. Her mom and law is my all time favorite.

Yes, they were over the line of good taste.

What is this acerbity over cartoons, Shane? There were both pro and anti Laura Bush cartoons in that bunch....Are you just trying to create antagonism and ill will here? Anyone who gets upset over a cartoon needs to have his head examined, in my humble opinion...

[Ron Lambert]

Celebrity roasts are a time-honored tradition, and Laura Bush showed that she is especially good at it. While some of the use liberals/Democrats have tried to make of it has also been funny, their penchant for trying to turn it into anti-Bush propaganda shows more of a mean spirit than a sense of humor.

I thought the cartoons that juxtaposed Laura Bush's humorous statement that she is "a desperate housewife" with depictions of people suffering in poverty or suffering the loss or injury of loved ones in war, was unwarranted and unfair, even shamefully exploitative on the part of those trying to use such things for their political propaganda purposes.
