[BlueEyedSon]

hearing.

a "lactivist"!

[gratuitous]

1. Bounce yer boobies

It's Friday, ya bastids.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. I downloaded the free Boobies ringer to my cell, and it's so much fun!

[Pirate Smile]

2. I missed this until I just went to Wonkette. Here is a photo

Downing Street Mammo

The transcript for this portion of the hearing on the Downing Street Memo goes something like this:
"You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. That's the scriptural verse chiseled into the martial at CIA headquarters. Well, thanks to the Downing Street minutes, we now know the truth. And the question for us is whether we have respect for the Constitution. Whether we have enough courage that we will pursue the purveyors of consequential falsehood so that the truth ... Oh my, that woman just pulled her tit out."
Barbara Walters was unavailable for comment. — WONKETTE

3. I know that lady

:)

[BlueEyedSon]

4. "Stephanie", IIRC

[Stephanie]

8. Not me!

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

[Rainscents]

13. LOL...

:rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

26. Me too. She is my best friend here.

:)

[snacker]

5. She flew from California with her baby

to be there...a true patriot.

[helderheid]

17. Is that the one from San Francisco?

[Rainscents]

6. Good for her!!! She is DU member!!!

BTW... I wonder, RW will go NUT over this!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. It was hysterical to see the C-Span camera trying to avoid her once

he/she realized what she was doing.

[ConfuZed]

14. If she whipped in out at the camera I can understand why...

now if she had a baby attached *meh* they should grow up.

[wicket]

11. whoa, really??

She's a DUer?? She rocks!!!! :D

[Just Me]

10. I wonder if that was our Panchamama!

:bounce:

[Rainscents]

15. I remember she said here the other night, she was taking her baby

with her and she was from California! She was also on one of talk radio the other day, she was going to DC with her baby and she was from Californina!

[ConfuZed]

12. Any protest photos? n/t

[dogday]

16. I saw it and posted it on the board yesterday. I kept thinking

breastfeeding in public is one thing--

breastfeeding in front of millions priceless!

[DerekG]

18. Please tell me her intent was just to feed her baby...

Because the DSM hearing is far too important for a "lactivist" to stage one of those silly breast-feeding sit-ins.

[Rainscents]

20. Remember... meeting was over 3 hours and they were in th basement

probably had no bathroom. Babies need to be feed every two to three hours, especially, if they are breast feed.

[Just Me]

21. Oh PUH-LEASE!!! Her baby was becoming fussy.

She was quieting her babe in order to avoid distracting from the hearing.

Jeez. People really need to get a grip. *pointing* ew look at the lady feeding her baby - naturally! :eyes:

[DerekG]

23. It's a fair query, considering this two week "lactivist" rebellion

If she has to feed her child, fine; I just wanted to know she wasn't using the DSM hearing to make some self-important societal statement.

I've been to enough A.N.S.W.E.R rallies to know that the Left has its fair share of narcissists.

[Just Me]

24. If you watched the hearing, it's pretty obvious she wasn't being,...

,...exploitative. I haven't participated in the "lactivist" conversation because I'm just not hung up on women breast-feeding their babies.

[Crunchy Frog]

27. I heard her talk on Randi's show

and she said that she did it because the baby was becoming fussy and she didn't want him to interrupt the proceedings with his crying. I'm wondering if people would have been happier with a screaming baby there.

I think that people simply need to learn to deal with the realities of infant feeding.

[Tsiyu]

30. I can't wait until America grows up

but I breastfed my six whenever and wherever i wanted and just dealt with the idiots who never learned human reproduction. It's no more stunning a scene than seeing a pack of adults chowing down on their buffet.

If any grownups ate during the DSM hearings, can we show some footage of that please?

"Oh my word! That reporter has a bit of chop suey on his chin!"

[Crunchy Frog]

31. Some adults can be truly offensive and disgusting

when they "chow down". Far worse than anything that you might see with a woman breastfeeding. Bleeech!

[Tsiyu]

32. I totally agree

eatin' is eatin.'

[fla nocount]

25. They're just specialized lymph glands. Your mother has 'em

your sister has 'em, Grandma and lard-ass Rove's got'em too.

Decorum and PC concerns about our physical bodies is what makes us less than animals.

[Crunchy Frog]

28. I'd be willing to bet that Rove and Limbaugh

have bigger ones than I do. Yet they can legally go around topless, while I would be arrested. I don't see anything fair about that at all.

[XemaSab]

19. Armageddon is here

When they're showing tits on CSPAN, you know it's all over.

[acmejack]

22. OMG! I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Depravity, unnatural acts. Where's Santorum when he's needed?

[Laughing Mirror]

29. Can't recall ever seeing a baby at a Congressional hearing

Is this a first?

[Deja Q]

33. Give her story and movie rights like they did the runaway bride.

It's all about entertainment anyway.

[Mnemosyne]

34. I posted this in one of the hearing threads while it was going on

and another poster treated me as if I was stupid for bringing it up.
I just thought it was so cool! Glad I wasn't alone!
