This is below the belt - even for you.

from the blog link: " "Michelle put her foot down when she heard that her mother took her dad to ceremonies where they did spells and trances, and sacrificed animals, chickens and goats I think."

Now I understand how Obamacare will work ;-)

How many Nancy Reagan and astrology jokes have been made over the years?

KF, it was wrong about Nancy Reagan and wrong now.

Do we want to model for our children that " if others are doing the wrong thing, it's ok for us to do it too"? That old saw " two wrongs don't make a right" has merit. Setting a higher standard and taking the moral high ground also has some merit.

Does anyone out there want to be judged by their mother-in-law? If crazy behavior by our relatives who aren't even blood kin gets to be political fodder, who the hell can run for office?

MS is a terrible disease and more than a few people try desperate and stupid measures.

And, did you check out this Kristen Atkinson? Not someone I'd use as a source for anything.

This just isn't up to your usually high standards KF.

Trashy.

bellow the belt, not high standard? what the hell am I reading.

How come any time ANYone says a word about anything remotely close to African, black, ANYTHING close to the fact that this man and his family are black it's "whoa, you can't say that. you just can't". Mentioning that this practice is reportedly happening in the White House is not even close to something insulting. The vid? well that's just plain funny, because you know that's the image conjured up when one thinks of what this 'religion' and rituals might be like because it's foreign to most people.

We can make fun of Bush being a cowboy all day long, but you even mention Obama's black side (he's half white btw) and it's oh hell naw. The mother in law? She's living in the White House- fair game.

Actually, I'm quite fond of James Bond movies.

I'm not the one practicing this stuff in the White House. Just having a little fun here. I don't guess the crabapples noticed I included the part about Obama being a Christian and not approving of it. I can just see his Harvard ass hitting the ceiling when he finds out the mother in law is into this stuff and i'm being serious.

I never liked Bush being ridiculed as a rich, clueless, addled, cowboy frat-boy either. I didn't like that, and I certainly don't like this either. I mean, do people really not have anything better to do? What does that do for you? I don't get it.

This sort of thing exhibits the maturity level of jr. high or less, and I'm surely insulting some jr.high kids in saying that. (My apologies to them).

KF, I think you're better than this.

To atone for this, we'll be looking for you to post some babe photos and more cute dogs. Sigh......

Perhaps some babes singing in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir holding cute dogs.

Likely all the same people giving you heck Kingfish are the very people who carried water for Lange's anti-Semitic Childers attack video.

If people want to practice Santeria or astrology in their own private home, fine; I may think they're morons but won't waste effort tracking them down and criticizing them.

But my taxes pay for the White House, and if someone living there on my dime is doing something very stupid and embarrassing to the country I will criticize it (both Nancy R. and the MiL-in-Chief). It's why we have a First Amendment (and why it's the FIRST Amendment).

8:33 agree...also agree the clip is as funny as the first time I saw it, BUT...

Why does GOP Stiletto and KF assume anyone who finds this objectionable is a Democrat? Or , does so because of some racial over-sensitivity?

Poor defense

News flash...more than a few of us think this political free for all went too far long ago and is HURTING our Nation!

Aside from that , some of us also appreciate that being civil is a part of being civilized. We are becoming a rude, crude, undisciplined, uncivilzed culture and that will, in the end destroy us.

What is it about " two wrongs don't make a right" that is hard?

And, who the Hell are we going to get to run for office anymore...saintly orphans? Oh, no, wait, there'd be talk of psychological damage. I know, a test tube baby raised at the Vatican..no wait...that won't work either...

George Washington couldn't get elected these days because of his screw up during the French Indian War and accusations that he married a rich widow only for personal gain! I can hear FOX or MSNBC now...depending on to which " party" they thought he belonged.

ALL of our Presidents...even the most admired have been and will continue to be HUMANS with flaws and crazy relatives.

ARRRGH!

What? This post was no different from the comedy that Bill Maher and John Stewart have been doing for yearrrs. But it's taboo now. Wtf ever.

stilettoGOP, it wasn't funny to me when Bill and John did it, and it isn't funny to me now, okay?

You repeatedly state that this is just like making fun of Bush or Bill and John's "comedy", as if someone doing it before now makes it all alright and funny now. To me, it's still just not even remotely funny. I can think of a billon really funny things, but to me this isn't one of them.

Everyone has an opinion, right or wrong. You enjoy your humor and I'll enjoy mine; neither of us can dictate what people find funny, but we are all free to state what we do or don't like without having to be defensive about it or justify it.

The fact that Kingfish actually believes this speaks volumes.

Believes what?

In case you haven't noticed, I don't discriminate, I take shots at everyone and everything on here. Saw that lil post on Town Hall and couldn't resist. I realize that is a blog post and not sourced properly.

Now if I could find that borat clip of Pickering at the Revival, I would've posted it a long time ago and believe me, I've looked.

How can this post exist without some reference to Hillary Clinton's seances in the White House to channel Eleanor Roosevelt? Did we totally forget the Arkansas Trailer Court Administration? Kingfish, are you going all liberal or what?

By the way, I think Michelle's mama has more teeth than even Michelle does.

ok, so the masquerading ingrate behind this blog is another head case - hell, why didn't somebody just say so;

Amen to Anon at 9:02 AM

Does anyone else see the humor in the fact that STUPID is now a race?

Point taken, 11:54. I feel you. I really do believe it or not. But I swear I think it's funny as hell when we point out our differences sometimes using humor. Takes the edge off of touchy subjects. Hey I even thought Will Farrell's "You're Welcome America" was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Just pisses me off the 'new' political correctness some are preaching now. (Sounds like you've always felt this way, so I take my pissed off'ed-ness away from you) Anyhow, thought for the day: lighten up, peeps.

Wow, everyone is irritable today, aren't we?
My take is that the repubs/conservs attack anything and everything the Obama admin is sponsoring. I don't see ANYTHING, stiletto, which is or has been off limits because we have a black president. (Better check your prejudices as well.....tradition is that if a person has ONE drop of "black blood" he/she must be labeled as black....your 1/2 white comment speaks volumes)
King, I know you give everyone equal billing. I absolutely love Obama, but I was LMAO on this one. Thanks!

teeth? Mrs. Obama is a nice-looking lady.

Fondren and Belhaven are full of racists.

Virden Addition, too.

1:22pm left out the kluckkers in Eastover.

So, you're prejudice if you state that Obama is half white. I see. Also, when did we adopt the "tradition" where one drop and you're black? Had never heard that actually. I'm always pinned the bad guy if I utter the word "black". But, Interesting* conversation I guess.

*makes me want to move to Canada.

Stiletto, I think that we can all agree that Obama is at least ONE MILLION TIMES MORE WHITE THAN BLACK.

Now Paul I never said I was trying to claim him ;)


(and 20 seconds? Hmm)

GOP Stiletto, YOU brought up race first. I'm an OLD white Southerner and I can tell when the line has been crossed . I didn't think KF crossed THAT line or I'd have said so. Let's get real, we know the difference between racial hatred, prejudice and stereotypical humor. Some Yankee may not, but we do.


KF, 9:02 is already taking this as a serious story rather than humor and THAT'S the problem with it. Humor SHOULD be obvious. And, surely, you don't find this source to be credible?

9:02 you need to go to the White House site and learn about who pays for what and how it works. The public rooms haven't really changed since Jackie Kennedy's restoration project. You got a few more paintings and furniture restored...that's IT. The family residence is dealt with differently ...go read...too lenghty for here.

And the First Admendment does guarantee the right to be wrong AND the right for the rest of us to call you on it.

Our Founding Fathers, however, incorrectly assumed that being a gentleman or lady would still be a desired standard and that we'd cherish our liberty enough to be wise in our public utterances. They thought we'd take the responsibilities of good citizenship seriously.

But, then they kept their crazy relatives locked in the attic. Ours show up on TV . Our crazy relatives can now find each other and form political groups and be taken seriously by or intimidate politicians.

How old are you OLD white Southerner?

7:19 old enough to draw Social Security

9:02 you're good on Freedom of Speech but don't think ( IF the MIL is a Santerria) that MIL should have Freedom of Religion?

If it were Laura Bush's mother, Republicans would argue Freedom of Religion and be outraged that at another liberal assault on religion.

That's the nonsense of partisan politics these days...puffery without substance from both sides.

I do owe an apology. Showing a Jane Seymour in a nightgown tied up is definitely sexist. For that I do apologize.

To 9:02 - I deliberately included both the current embarrassment in the White House (if these allegations are true) and Nancy Reagan to show my bipartisan disgust with my taxes being paid to support this crap. As far as the meaningless post about the differences between the east and west wings - unless the MiL-in-chief is paying fair market rent then she's living on my dime, and I reserve the right to express my (low) opinion about the reported behavior of an UNELECTED tenant in the People's House (both cases - UNELECTED).

FYI, the East Wing and West Wing aren't part of the Executive Residence.
Of the 1.6 million dollars budgeted to maintain the White House, the new First Families get $100,000 for making the residence fit their needs. That was raised from $50000 by the Clintons. Most First Ladies have found that amount inadequate and had private sources to supplement.
I just think you're awfully worked up about very little and that's exactly why I didn't like the piece as I knew some would find a way to make a mountain out of a molehill.
We spend time on tempests in teapots so we miss entirely the looming hurricanes.
