MORFORD: God Does Not Want 16 Kids

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 10/19/5 | Mark Morford

[Past Your Eyes]

That may be the most disgusting screed I've ever seen published in a "legitimate" newspaper. But then, I'm only 58 years old.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

My guess, the Duggars' rebel will be Jinger. I mean, Jinger? Couldn't they come up with a better 'j' name?

[Tax-chick]

I feel sorry for her, too.

[Vor Lady]

Yep there are only so many laps between two parents! The nursing baby always had priority on mine, so everyone else had to settle for Dad. They liked me best, they said, because I was squishy. Now they are all too big to sit on my lap. Our youngest is nearly 8.

[Vor Lady]

That's right, because after the first three or four, #1 is big enough to be a help, even if all they can do is bring more diapers or the baby wipes. When I tell people I have six, I swear that what they hear is I've got six toddlers!

And when one has more than two, they have to learn to be obedient because you don't have enough hands to keep more than two under control at one time. It cracks me up when people tell me how well behaved my kids are, like it is something kids are born doing; I have worked hard to get them to that point!

It's like cats, I guess ... once you hit the Critical Mass, you can add more indefinitely.

LOL

We hear that all the time, too. When you're outnumbered 4 to 1, you have to keep order, or you're toast!

[My2Cents]

16 future Republican voters. And gays don't reproduce; how sad.

[Vor Lady]

"When you're outnumbered 4 to 1, you have to keep order, or you're toast!"

So, so true! LOL.

[ViLaLuz]

I'm hoping it's pronounced like "Ginger."

[ShadowDancer]

Oh my God, this guy is such an asshole I don't even know where to begin.

[kittymyrib]

Sadly, this wonderful family is not the typical American family. Saw them on TV and the dad and mom don't believe in buying anything on credit!

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I am sure it is pronounced that too...but, still...there are dozens of other girl names that begin with a 'J'.

I am looking forward to seeing the documentary that was just filmed on them. I believe it comes out in the spring of 06 on the Discovery Channel.

[HKMk23]

MUST we tolerate THIS spew? I mean -- MORFORD?? REALLY?

Isn't there a Morford moratorium in place around here?

Look, this guy NEVER has anything credible to say. He is always vulgar, banal, laboriously anti-everything-decent; a raving syphilitic buttmonkey of the lowest, subterranean order. Face it: if he'd posted this here, himself, JR would have bestowed the Almighty ZOT in person. His vomitous gutter shot would have already been paved over and made into a four-lane highway by the RKBA.

Can this be yanked in the name of decency or is there an official reason that the toxic droolings of the Morphed One must be endured?

[kpp_kpp]

it would all be ok if it were just a muslim family.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

They are happy well adjusted people.

Ms. Morford hates happy well adjusted people just hates 'em. Because that means that happiness is possible so her misery must be of her own making.

Nasty evil wicked happy people!

[Maceman]

I'm thinking that if she had a lesbian partner raising the kids with her, Morford would be singing their praises.

Why should anyone want to?

Whatever faults this woman may have, she didn't give birth to Morford.
