MICKEY KAUS charges Barbara Boxer with “Mommyism:”
The “it’s all about children” meme must focus-group really well, because Democrats keep trotting it out (most famously to justify welfare payments for “children,” even though it’s adults who get the checks). I don’t remember Mommyism winning any national elections, though–especially during a war.
Boxer also managed to leave the implication that if only her children were of the right age, they would of course be volunteering to serve their country in the military. I don’t know Boxer’s childen, but I’m skeptical.
Me too.
