For Heaven's Sake
I'm getting mighty sick of reading criticisms of Mrs. Bush's speech at the Correspondent's dinner....especially from liberals whose everyday language would make a sailor blush. And from others who think the joke about milking a horse was something vulgar.
*rolls eyes*
City folk.
Why, that old saw is as old as dirt. I first heard that joke when I was just a tot. From my dad, who would no more tell an off-color joke in mixed company or in front of a child than he would rise & fly. The gist of the joke is that the person is too dumb to tell a horse from a cow, or a steer from a cow, which is the way I've usually heard it. Perfectly innocent.
But good grief. What some of you have thought that joke was about. You ought to be ashamed.
Such statements reflect much more about the state of your mind than the mind of the joke teller.

We must see and/or read different comments since the TV news and websites have been overwhelmingly positive. I am a liberal and as my son calls me a "yellow dog democrat" and I thought her speech was a delightful change.
