With the possible exception of the bestiality humor (her husband trying to milk a boy horse) none of Lauraโ€™s schtick bothered me. I thought it was all in good fun and fine. What made it funny is that sheโ€™s so obviously not a raunchy babe.

However, as I said at the time, I really, really disliked the Bush Twinsโ€™ similar routine at the GOP convention. I guess the differences include the distinction between insidery events (Correspondentsโ€™ dinner) and outsidery events (the infomercial convention); the fact that Lauraโ€™s a better joke-teller; and the fact that Bush Twins make a plausible case that theyโ€™re being sincere when theyโ€™re playing to type.
