We bought into a dumb rumor. You bought into a war. ---

> [@Tuckerfan](#): > > [It’s a hoax.](http://www.traditionalvalues.org/modules.php?sid=2248) Well, for once the Fundies have a right to be pissed. Not only a hoax, but not even a funny one. OTOH, it’s not much sillier than some of their real comments. ---

What she said was pretty funny. It’s not like she’s going to say anything really edgy, so maybe the praise is a little over the top. Part of it may be that she’s never shown this side of her personality at all. It’s kind of like the way you go a little nuts for the shy girl when she finally cracks a joke, it’s a “Good for her!” thing. Laura making fun of George is a bit surprising. Hillary roasting Bill, on the other hand, if she’d really spoken her mind, might’ve been the most scathing thing ever. > [@Sampiro](#): > > I just have to go on record as saying I thought her jokes were funny. So did Jon Stewart. (Not nearly as funny as Clinton’s last WHC dinner monologue and [video](http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/multimedia/clinton-final-days.mov) (which I thought was absolutely hysterical), but still pretty cool. That video is a thing of beauty. What she said is amusing, but the Daily Show came up with a much better version. Stephen Colbert “taped” her second, after-hours performance, in which that horse milking joke went something like this: "When we got to the ranch, George’s first mistake was trying to milk the horse. And what’s worse - it was a male horse. And what was even worse was, he _knew_ it was a male horse. He specifically said “bring me two male horses, so I can \*\*\*\* one off with my mouth while I \*\*\*\* off the other one until I’m _swimming_ in horse \*\*\*\*.” ---

“When we got to the ranch, George’s first mistake was trying to milk the horse. And what’s worse - it was a male horse. And what was even worse was, he _knew_ it was a male horse. His exact words were “Bring me a stallion. You know what? Bring me two. I wanna \*\*\*\* one horse \*\*\*\* with my hand while I \*\*\*\* off the other one, until I’m bathing in horse \*\*\*\*.”” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/move-over-seinfeld-laura-bush-is-here/301955.md?page=2)
