Michelle Malkin has set off a fire storm on the net about remarks she made reference Mrs. Bush’s jokes the other night.

Frankly — her comments pissed me off to no end. But I’ve waited to say anything about it here.

Here is what’s upset a lot of people:

The First Lady resorting to horse masturbation jokes is not much better than Whoopi Goldberg trafficking in dumb puns on the Bush family name. It was wholly unnecessary.

Okay — first of all, Mrs. Bush never uttered the word masterbation during the joke.

Somewhere in Michelle’s mind the joke about someone misinterpreting a horse for a cow got turned into a sexual reference in her mind. Maybe she’s not as familiar with farm animals as others, and those of us that grew up on the farm know people that wouldn’t know the south end of a mule unless it kicked them.

I laughed at Mrs. Bush’s reference to our president’s confusion. My first husband came to mind - actually - a the time she said it. See, my first husband didn’t have freaking clue about farm life, and when I took him home — it showed.

This man refused — outright, utterly — refused to drink the milk my mother had hand earned from the milking cow in the barn. He would only drink milk that came from the store. Excuse me?? (Yes, I did say ex-husband right?) So you know what we did? Mom had some old empty gallon milk jugs from when the cow was unable to produce milk, poured the “fresh from the cow in the barn” milk, seperated of course, into that jug. We then told idiot ex-husband that mom had gone to town and bought him a jug of fresh milk.

He drank it.

We laughed our asses off.

Michelle — sometimes a joke is just a joke. Take a chill pill, a glass of wine and a bubble bath.
