In other words, toots, I agree that it's all about context and intent, but I don't see the context and the intent here as being all that bad.

Well put Sidd. Best.Sidd.Post.Ever.
Its sort of like Bush making fun of his syntax problems, that's okay. But its not sensitive or politically correct or anti-biased or classy to make fun of someone, like a stutterer, for speech problems or a short bus kid for perceived mental disabilities.
Oh, wait, unless its the liberals making fun of Bush, then its okay.
