Uh. Wow. Where to begin. Let's see...the annoying sound of her voice? The whining about the "small Democratic tent"? (Of course the Republicans are going to embrace a white, upper-middle-class woman who knows how to play housewife and mommy while keeping a staff to do all the work! They've got a whole brothel of them, in fact!) The self-centered, non-stop rambling? And when she started taking calls, she wasn't channeling her inner housewife; she was channeling Dr. Laura. And not with any particular skill, either.
I was debating whether to pull the plug on the streaming audio, but decided to soldier on to the end. Oh, was that worthwhile! I don't think I've heard anything like Flanagan's implosion at the end of that segment since the Gene Simmons-Terry Gross deathmatch on Fresh Air several years ago.
Love the suggestion of a nurse-in at the offending fred meyer.
I thought the northwest was progressive.
nobody even asked me not to nurse in the backward south.
Target,Kmart, restrants, parks the library. never had a problem. But I usually draped a soft unfolded cloth diaper over my shoulder . The cheap really thin kind that doesn't block air.
they Work great for spit up cloths too.
I always kept one in the diaper bag.
Got some second looks - but once people realized I was nursing they generally
smiled as they moved on.
No one ever was mean to me, or the least bit judgemental.
