GOP Blast Pres for joking-we must have a moral component to the assessment
of his comments.

Of course that was our favorite right wing writer TONY BLAKELY, often seen on Fox these days, back on May 3, 2000 in the Washington Times re Bill Clinton's dinner jokes about impeachment and other White House scandals.

Tony Blankley wrote:
"But the audience, made up of the political and media leadership of the country, ought to be ashamed of itself for laughing and popping out of its chairs for repeated standing ovations. Because that hotel ballroom is not a night club, and Bill Clinton isn't a stand-up comic. He is the president of the United States, and there must always be a moral component to the assessment of his comments, whether they are funny or serious. In this instance, humor should not be its own reward."

1. And what were we laughing at way back then?
Were they laughing at the fact that the president had forced us into an unnecessary war by lying to us?

Oh no. Back then, we were laughing about sex.

Much worse than war, death, and destruction.

Sarcasm off.

Sorry P, righteous moral indignation is the province of the Cons. It is no longer operational when it is applied to a Con President sent by God to rule the great unwashed heathens.

Didn't you get the blast fax from Herr Rove?
