David Korn Needs Some Perspective
Suzanne at Descartes' Bar and Grill pokes David Korn with a (deserved) pointed stick over his ludicrous criticism of Laura Bush's comedic comments at the recent White House Correspondents' Association dinner (hat tip: Decision '08):
"It was very risque," the Nation's David Korn said [...]. "I'm not sure I want to explain a lot of those jokes to my 4-year-old."
I personally don't care much for those scripted roast events, but I'm quite sure that given the state of the TV and movie industry, which of course is controlled by multimillionaire liberal/leftists, Mr. Korn has a lot more to worry about as a parent of a four year old than the First Lady's mild jokes.

Jeff, I'm still cracking up at Korn's precious concern - the assertion that any of those quite tame jokes would have offended anyone is funnier than anything Laura said (although, bizarrely, Michelle Malkin has apparently proven me wrong). Have a good one!

Yep, he deserved the poke.
Thanks for the link. ;-)

Korn and Co. did indeed deserve it. But I have to admit I'm probably somewhere between Mark and Michelle Malkin...I keep hearing "dignity of office" and "hold yourself to a higher standard" rumblings in the back of my mind. But I also have not actually seen Laura's speech; she gets a huge benefit-of-a-doubt credit in my book, anyway.
