And it isn't that a President is off limits for jokes either. It's just the kind of jokes. Hell Jay Leno would be out of business if he couldn't tell jokes about the sitting President but you never get the feeling that he is being anything but humorous. That isn't the case with Bette's joke or many of those other bozo's. They are pretending to tell jokes when what they are really doing is giving political commentary.

Taking swipes at Bush hasn't hurt Jay Leno. The Dixie Chicks are doing fine. In fact, at the toniest rightwing parties, bush-bashing is becoming the rage: Bashing Bush in Aspen Robert Novak September 22, 2005 ASPEN, Colo. -- For two full days, George W. Bush was bashed. He was taken to task on his handling of stem cell research, population control, the Iraq war and, especially, Hurricane Katrina. The critics were no left-wing bloggers. They were rich, mainly Republican and presumably Bush voters in the last two presidential elections. The Bush-bashing occurred last weekend at the annual Aspen conference sponsored by the New York investment firm Forstmann Little & Co. Over 200 invited guests, mostly prestigious, arrived Thursday night (many by private aircraft) and stayed until Sunday morning for more than golf, hikes and gourmet meals. They faithfully attended the discussions presided over by PBS's Charlie Rose on such serious subjects as "global poverty and human rights" and "the 'new' world economy." The connecting link was hostility to President Bush. townhall.com
