LOL. O'Reilly can't figure out why people on both sides are mad at Laura
He is on his radio show complaining how poor Laura Bush is under fire by "extremists" on both sides for the routine she used last weekend.

Well, lets see: Maybe it has something to do with hypocracy!

The left is pissed about it because the Bushes campaign and operate under a premise of moral superiority. They are trying to push morality to the forefront, to rally "values voters", and all the while Laura is joking about Bush masturbating livestock.

Meanwhile, the right is pissed because the Bushes, the bastions of morality that they are, are telling dirty jokes. The right is with them on trying to censor everything to fit their twisted version of morality. But now extremists on the right have discovered that the Bushes are just as dirty as all the other godless sinners out there. Maybe they will take the hint and see just how fake the Bushes are, but I doubt it.

1. Bush is trying to get the middle ground. Now that he has extremed
the country and it went too far. Think of how the corporations must be screaming at him "what - I now have to choose to sell to one half the market or the other? activist Christians or Activist DUers".

They are trying to beat back the Christian right.

Myself - I wonder if a sociopath like Rove has not just destabilized the country for the purpose of diminishing the whole dam nation. Because sociopaths will do that. It makes them happy. Because they are sadistic. They love to make the joke on as many people as possible.

Don't know Rove personally. But you have to wonder.

2. Laura is a Stepford Wife
No matter how much she tries to appear otherwise.

4. Yeah. I have always thought so
Xanax and careful brainwashing.

She is just so disgustingly fake

8. I can't believe I' m saying this,
but Michelle Malkin is right when she advocated the "shoe on the other foot test."

Let's pretend for a moment that Teresa Heinz or Hillary Clinton went out there and told horse masturbation jokes. I wonder what would happen...?

Personally, I'm not offended by anyone telling such jokes, I just didn't think they were funny.

9. Yeah, but Michelle Malkin was still careful to kiss Laura's ass
in her article, making sure to point out how classy she normally is.

10. Oh, yeah, I know. She's a nut.
But I'm glad she bothered to point out the hypocrisy of it all.

11. It would be "I can't believe you said that." sort of moment.
It shows deplorably poor judgement, IMHO. The Daily Show spoof on Laura's little joke was over the top, but how could they have resisted?
