"I just hate the image that we give to our kids that if you're beautiful, you're beautiful and you don't have to be smart," said Del. Jeff Eldridge, (D) Lincoln County.
Delegate Jeff Eldridge introduced a bill to the house on Tuesday asking lawmakers to stop the sales of Barbie in the mountain state.

It seems to me that since Barbie was introduced in the 1950s, the options available to women have expanded dramatically. They are the majority in our colleges now, run many of our major businesses, hold prominent positions in politics, and yet they can still choose to stay home and dedicate themselves to family if they wish. This coincides pretty nicely with Barbie’s introduction. So I’ll make the unfounded leap of logic that Barbie caused it all to happen! Thus homely feminists hate Barbie because they know it all came about because of her, not them! There, I’ve solved it all.
If it were up to me, and it’s probably a good thing it’s not, I’d do everything I could, turn over every rock, to find something to fire this guys butt!
With state and county budgets being stretched to the max, WHERE IN HELL DOES THIS GUY THINK THE MONEY IS COMING FROM TO PAY HIS WORTHLESS AZZ TO PASS LAWS ABOUT BARBIE???
Jeesh already!!!
Is this guy liberal? I see he’s a good Democrat.
I just wonder where he draws lines. He might well be one of these people who are not concerned about suggestive content in movies and TV shows, and the messages sent by rap videos and all that stuff. But, he’s acting out the marching orders of the radical feminists on this issue, that Barbie somehow sends a bad message to our daughters.
Somebody once said that you can learn a lot about people by seeing what types of things get them angry or move them to action. This dude is moved to action by a Barbie doll. He’s outraged about the messages sent by a doll. He’s outraged about what little girls will absorb from playing with dolls.
Unbelieveable.................
Things like this are why I click on the TV, turn to CSPAN, and ask, “Wonder what these a**holes are doing today?”
Our tax dollars at play.
This is what they worry about when they’re not doing everything they can to destroy America.
This is leadership?

Sounds to me as though there is a state legislaturte that doesn't have enough to occupy its time besides frivolous legislation. If I were the Gov. and heard about this one, I'd adjourn them and send them home until they were ready to conduct important business of the state.
This is absurd and is the kind of crapola that Democrats do.
When you enter hell, they will show you to Helen’s room.
Lol! A lot of people probably don't know they can see that type of link's url by hovering over it with the mouse.
Here it is in the raw...

It wasn't THAT bad, was it?
You are evil
Helen was funny the first time. The joke is the most over done.
Is that a “black eye” on Barbie??
Yes they do. It's a prelude to the Ken doll homosexual package. He probably hated GI Joe.
Is this “Twinkletoes” Eldridge a girly man, or what? Hardly an issue to be championed by anyone with a Y chromosome. But then again he is a Democrat!
I think I sure served my Lenten Penance.
First they came for Barbie, then GI Joe. Next thing you know, no more care bears or webkinz
We must stop this madness now
Some girls I know had lots of imaginative fun with their Barbies, using the Barbie Mansion in creative ways. They had a found a little tiny toy sewing machine somewhere and did the Barbie Sweatshop and the Barbie Jail.
