The American Spectator

p>There is a world of difference between the two. br> — Scotty Uhrich br> Glyndon, Minnesota /p> p> You were correct in your assessment of Saturday night’s comedic monologue. I can’t remember when I have been so disappointed in someone. Our President has a hard enough time fighting against those who think he is some kind of buffoon. The First Lady’s remarks didn’t help. There are those in this world who will believe them. Even if they did this thing to make themselves look urbane and sophisticated, able to hold their own among those in the beltway, it was still in poor taste. Comedy can be clean or dirty. It was not clean. It will be hard to hear from Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Cheney, et al., and believe they are sincere about their concern for America’s children. When they speak against indecency in the media, what a hollow sound that will be. Of course, you will receive much criticism for your brave stand. When the majority of the country stays glued to programs like those served up on TV, what do you expect? Someone wrote a book about the dumbing down of America. I know they meant the school system, but today it could apply to the majority of what the people in this land find amusing. How sad. If “to lighten up” means to accept smutty language, then we have sunk to a new level. You did a good job. br> — JF /p> p> I don’t know who this Whetz Pleutruschey is that found so much to be critical of in Laura’s performance at the Press Club. My gosh, we’ve known that the Bushes had a sense of humor ever since we delighted in Barbara Bush…thank God these fine people are able to laugh at themselves. I thought Lynne Cheney would burst from laughter and the Vice President seemed to genuinely enjoy it. My boy George (how I love that man) simply glowed with pride that he was married to Laura. No, we couldn’t have taken this from Hillary and Bill because we know there is no love lost between the two and that all they want is power. George and Laura love each other and other people. They’re secure which the other two aren’t. Dear old Whatshisname and I could care less who penned this article must surely have a lackluster marriage. He must be as much fun and joy in a marriage as a wet noodle. I doubt he’s been able to catch a woman…. br> — unsigned /p>
