OK, how come gutless and graceless posters can take cheap personal shots at POTUS and First Lady, but are immune from receiving cheap shots on themselves?

Freedom to retort in the same vein as personal attacks on public figures should be a 2 way street, doncha think?

Gracie is hiding behind the moderators and lobbing crap balls like a monkey in the zoo, while she has guards that protect her from the response in kind that she invites?

Gracie isn't hiding behind anybody. There is a difference between insulting a public figure like the First Lady and insulting another member of the Retort.

You are not Michelle Obama. You do not need freedom to respond to people who insult her or any other public figure. You may want that freedom, but on a site like this people are going to criticize public figures -- sometimes in cheap or offensive ways. Attacking them in response would make this a constant flamewar.

Criticizing policy is one thing, Boss. Personal insults beg responses in kind.

You know the difference.

An insult against Michelle Obama is not a "personal" insult. You are not the First Lady.

Unless you are. I'm beginning to wonder.

If you are, I think you are plenty elegant.

"Personal insults beg responses in kind."

You can insult ME, OldSourWhiskey, I won't mind and I promise not to push the "offensive" or "abusive" buttons. May I kinda piggyback on Taxpayer,s "booty" comment by saying if someone told Michelle to haul ass, she'd have to make two trips?"

See Whiskey

Like I said GETTO BOOTY jokes don't bother me at all,,,

GO AHEAD LAUGH even rcade said it was OK,,,

The President and his wife were working in their garden one day and he looked over at his wife and says: "Your butt is getting really big, I mean really big. I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue."

With that he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the grill and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife's bottom. "Yes, I was right, your butt is two inches wider than the barbecue!!!"

Later that night in bed, the husband is feeling a little frisky. He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off. "What's wrong?" he asks. She answers: "Do you really think I'm going to fire up this big-@ss grill for one LITTLE WEENIE>>>

GET IT

?"
>>>

DAMN FUNNY,,,

The biggest cheap shot you could use is that they are both "closet Texas Republicans".

So Gracies sister Anna was visiting from Alabama and Gracie took her on a picnic. Unfortuantely Anna was chewed on the butt by an ant and had a severe allergic reaction. Since Anna's family don't have electricity or a phone, Gracie had to send a telegram. Being as fiscally conservative as a drum, Gracie found out the cheapest telegram she could send was six or less words. Her telegram: Anacin hospital adamant bitter asinine places.

How to solve the transgender bathroom issue?

Change the signs on the bathroom doors.

Instead of "Men" "Women" signs, just show the body part on the doors.
