Dollar Bill, Laura B. and a charmed media

So eveyone in the media thinks Laura Bush is a comedian after her comments at the White House Correspondents Dinner on April 29 about sneaking out with Lynn Cheney and Condi Rice to see some exotic dancers. Her salty story of how Lynn Cheney got her Secret Service code name of "Dollar Bill" was hi-larious, wasn't it!? Katie Couric and the rest of the gang in the media sure found her to be quite the Lenny Bruce! How properly hypocritical of this bastion of propriety to show a little humanity, eh? The faith-based, imperial couple seemed rather proud of themselves to yuk it up for the press (or maybe it was just a bunch of pre-screened supporters brought in to make them look good--who can tell these days?). I hope Mrs. Bush's comments made all members of the religious right-eous cringe just a little bit.

Now don't get me wrong, her comments were, in my mind, relatively tame, but they certainly fly in the face of the image of the first couple, who apparenly have a direct line to God (the vengeful Old Testament God, by the way)! Sort of like king W's comments of a few years back when he called someone an asshole when the microphone was inadvertantly left on... Maybe now they'll make guest voice appearances on South Park!

Blech!
