Jack’s fey brother Andre Bauer, Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, today finally made the connection between school lunch programs and overpopulation of poor people. He quoted his (probably charming) grandmother out of context to back up the metaphor, saying that she didn’t believe in feeding strays because then they make more strays.
This man is paid to represent the people of South Carolina. Things may well be desperate in that state if the man on deck to the mansion is forced to rely upon misapplication of homespun home economics to inform policy. Application of age-old wisdom to new issues is a powerful rhetorical device that should not be abused.
If this is bait, then fine, I nibbled. But, I like to imagine that Andre’s grandmother actually knew what an animal was and what a human was. If Bauer has proof that animals or cylons or whatever are abusing the school lunch program in order to out-breed humans, then he should present such proof - not attempt to sabotage his own party’s chances of governing during a time of actual fiscal crisis.
For some reason, this connects, in my mind, with Jack Cafferty’s comments regarding that 13 year old girl in Saudi Arabia. “This is how they treat children,” Jack said. Should we starve them?
