Wonkette's version, with the meatier stuff:
First Wife Swapper: Laura Bush Steals the Show at WH Correspondents Dinner

After grabbing the mike from her husband at the White House Correspondents Dinner, First Lady Laura Bush proceeded to deliver a monologue that was edgier than what the night's headliner, Cedric the Entertainer, would ultimately attempt. Mother-in-law jokes, Desperate Housewives references, tales of strip club debauchery, and a zinger about the time George gave a hand-j--- [let's not go there! With Laura doing the wonderful stand-up, why did they need Cedric the Entertainer, who conceded that "I thought I could follow the president. The first lady is something different."]
