It just keeps getting better.

"The Democrats will go after anything," Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie told ABC. "The fact is that this is the custom in these things. Presidents have made jokes about very serious matters at these dinners. You can hear the laughter, the people in the room obviously saw the humor in it at that moment, and to play it back now in a different context is unfair."

First of all, because other Presidents in the past have done it doesn't make it right. Second, I seriously doubt these kinds of jokes were made over "serious matters" that resulted in GI's coming home in body bags. That's where a line has to be drawn. This is a few steps beyond getting head in the oval office or raising taxes too much.
