A Real Scrooge

I'm not sure which rock these women are crawling out from under. I sure wish Palin would crawl back under it and close the door behind her. In the past we've been blessed with Sarah's stupid and Michelle's (Bachmann) stupid, among others (my sincerest apologies to those I've left out) and now we get Kate O'Beirne. O'Beirne, of the National Review, recently showed her own personal Ebenezer in the form of an audacious rant against school lunch programs.



Thanks to Crooks and Liars for the footage.

I'd say that the most ridiculous point of her rant is her accusation that parents who rely on school lunch programs to ensure their children have a healthy meal each day are guilty of neglect. We have a real problem with child abuse in this country, and we need to do something about that. But, seriously, not being able to feed your children because you simply cannot afford the food is not abuse, it's reality for way too many American families these days.

I just don’t get why millions of school children qualify for school breakfasts unless we have a major wide spread problem with child neglect.

Let me explain, Kate, millions of school children qualify for school breakfasts (and lunches) because the policies of your party have put their parents out of jobs (not to mention that the GOP's lording over the citizenry have reduced access to birth control and sex education, directly affecting the number of children born into poverty unnecessarily).

Kind of reminds me of another clueless yahoo, Cynthia Davis, remember her? Perhaps these women are so privileged that they don't have to do their own food shopping and preparation. Must be nice to be so ignorant and happy bah humbug to you too.
