"Shecky" Bush fails to win fundamentalist hearts.

After Laura Bush delivered a stand-up routine at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last weekend, she earned raves from the likes of fellow funnyman Bill "Falafel" O'Reilly. Right-wing Christians were unamused. I'm guessing they weren't crazy about her reference to Fearless Leader jerking off a farm animal. ("he tried to milk the horse. What's more--it was a male horse.")

From the story:

". . .[according to a statement by] the Coalition for Traditional Values, an organization that seeks a more flexible relationship between church and state, Mrs. Bush's jokes at her husband's expense amounted to a public emasculation of the President. Pastor Roy DeLong, the statement's author and chair of the group, warns that the First Lady's performance comes at a time when the Mr. Bush's "manliness is already under attack."

"As a believer, President Bush is no doubt familiar with the passage from Ephesians that says 'Wives, submit yourselves unto your husbands, as unto the Lord,'" says Mr. DeLong. "That means that just as Christ is the head of the church, the husband is the head of the wife."
