Conservative Critics of First Lady's Comedy Act Decry 'Hoax' Smear

A conservative Christian organization that lashed out at the First Lady's weekend comedy routine is lashing out again—this time at critics who claim that the group's Bible-based panning of Mrs. Bush's jokes and one-liners was itself a joke. Observers say that the high-profile dispute over who can speak for conservative Christians is just the latest in an increasingly heated battle between the Coalition for Traditional Values and its rival, the Traditional Values Coalition.

Talk of milking horses and desperate housewives rubs some values voters the wrong way

By Russell D'Arby

Editor's note: Controversy continues to swirl around the Swift Report's exclusive reporting of the Coalition for Traditional Values' unhappiness with the First Lady's comedy routine. On 5/05, a rival group, the Traditional Values Coalition, released a statement to the press denying that Mrs. Bush's remarks had effectively emasculated the President.

WASHINGTON, DC— A conservative Christian organization that lashed out at the First Lady's weekend comedy routine is lashing out again—this time at critics who claim that the group's Bible-based panning of Mrs. Bush's jokes and one-liners was itself a joke.

The Coalition for Traditional Values (CTV) made headlines yesterday when a story appeared on the popular conservative Weblog, the Swift Report. In the story, which was picked up by the Drudge Report, Rush Limbaugh, and other media outlets, CTV chairman Pastor Roy DeLong criticized the First Lady for making jokes that mocked the traditional family structure and publicly undermined her husband at a time when President Bush's masculinity is increasingly under attack.

A rival group strikes back
But hours after the story appeared, a rival group called the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) came forward with its own version of events. Late yesterday, TVC released a statement in which it claimed that CTV's criticism of the First Lady's Performance is part of a systematic effort to undermine its own work. According to TVC Chairman Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, "Our computers have seen more viruses than a pediatrician's office. Today's phony press release is just the latest dirty trick aimed at discrediting our efforts on behalf of America's churches."

The Reverend Sheldon also issued a spirited defense of Mrs. Bush's controversial performance, noting that "We thought Mrs. Bush's remarks at the correspondents' dinner were hilarious. We are very pleased that she is America's First Lady."

Not funny to 'People of Faith'
But Pastor DeLong says that he isn't laughing. "If the Traditional Values Coalition thinks it's funny for the most important woman in America to mock the traditional family structure, I guess I'd have to disagree," says Mr. DeLong. He notes that while allies in the campaign to tear down the wall between church and state may differ on the content of humor, it's important to draw a line when it comes to jokes that may violate Judeo-Christian ethics. "What kind of values are we teaching our children when the First Lady stands up in front of the elite from Washington and Hollywood and says that the President of the United States once milked a male horse?"

Manliness under attack
In recent days, a number of political observers have expressed concern that a series of gaffes have eroded the President's masculine image. Last week, Mr. Bush was seen holding hands with Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. Then the President raised eyebrows anew when he asked a crowd of supporters in Galveston, TX, if they celebrated Splash Day, an annual gay pride event in that state, best known for attracting tens of thousands of buff men, wearing little more than suntan oil.

Stay tuned folks; this story isn't over yet.

Traditional Values Coalition affirms masturbating horses is funny

Washington, DC – “We thought Mrs. Bush’s remarks at the correspondents’ dinner were hilarious. We are very pleased that she is America’s First Lady.”

"He's learned a lot about ranching since that first year when he tried to milk the horse. What's worse, it was a male horse," said First Lady Laura Bush.

The First Lady went on to say the she and Lynn Cheney (who wrote a novel of lesbian erotica) watch the television show Desperate Housewives (which many say is "soft porn). Mrs. Bush also said that she went to Chippendales with Lynne Cheney, Condi Rice, and Karen Hughes to put dollar bills on the penises of naked men.

The First Lady surprised the audience with her hilarious comments and many press reports indicate that she stole the show.

Traditional Values Coalition supports bestiality, Desperate Housewives, and male stippers as clean, wholesome fair appropriate for discussion by The First Lady of The United States. We hope that this establishes precisely what is and is not the threshold of decency in this country.

“Our feeling has been to shrug it off because it comes with the territory," said TVC Chairman Rev. Louis P. Sheldon.

So, now with the president's manhood in question... can we re-think why a gay, male prostitute- posing as a reporter- was allowed into the White House 200 times without proper credentials. Come on people---there are no accidents. Thank you Laura-- you go girl!

[Big Time Patriot]

With some of these issues it can be really hard to tell the parody from the truth. Like this story (shameless self promoting plug follows):
File your FCC complaint against Laura Bush...

[Ricardo]

I'm going to start a group called Coalition of Values of Tradition, CVT. Why not make it more confusing? Then I can criticize the other two groups.

[Secular Sam]

"During the administration of William Jefferson Clinton, the U.S.
enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its
history. He was the first Democratic president since Franklin D.
Roosevelt to win a second term. He could point to the lowest
unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years,
the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime
rates in many places, and reduced welfare roles. He proposed the first
balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus.
ALL THIS AND HE COULD STILL ENJOY A BJ...DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF GUYS
YOU REPUBLIKUNTS ARE...MAYBE GOT A LITTLE SUGAR IN YOUR TANK SINCE YOU
DON'T LIKE WHEN A GUY GETS THIS...FREAKKKS"

[Secular Sam]

"There is no such thing as separation of church and state in the
Constitution. It is a lie of the Left, and we are not going to take it
anymore." - PAT ROBERTSON, in a November 1993 speech.

So the TVC is defending Laura Bush?

You know times really have changed when bestiality is now a traditional family value.

[bkmcclarty]

Overtaken by a group of taliban like zelots, the country says "huh". "Grow up" would be the more appropriate response.

The false puritans are yet again rearing thier ugly heads, I vote we play "whack a mole" when they do.

How long before we are burning witches?

[Art Durand AKA Whitebear]

Somewhere out there at least one horse has been embarassed by the village idiot.
