I am sick to death of this freaking nanny state mentality. This whole it takes a village is full of (insert material here which would get me banned and my mouth washed out with soap). This is the reason why we have Zero in the White House. They are dumbing down the youth of America.

Does this liberal pond scum sucking, crack smoking, glue sniffing, tinfoil crapping democrat believe that barbies are the evil in America?? Does this idiot not realize that we have a freaking communist in the White House who is destroying our way of life so much that soon the parents of these kids won’t be able to afford a Barbie dress let alone their freaking groceries??????????

I need valium...quick.

Just because you are a politician doesn’t mean you have to be smart either.

I would hate to have spent all that time downloading that on dial-up.

Would it really take that long on dial-up? How long would you estimate? (anyone)

No idea here. I gave up dial-up a long time ago...

It does though make you wonder how it long it took for that "masterpiece" to be created?

Last time I used dial-up was a few years ago, and I was lucky to get above 8kilobyte/sec. I would guesstimate 30-45 seconds for a picture of that size.

This guy’s just mad because Mattel wouldn’t make a Robert Byrd memorial version of the Barbie.

Everything in WV has to be named for Robert Byrd.

LOL!Coming soon no doubt. Where do these politicians lay their eggs? Can we find them and destroy them before they hatch?

Thanks. That’s about what I figured. In any case, it would have taken only around 10-15 seconds to realize what the pic was as it was downloading, if someone was afraid of having nightmares over the full pic.

How about a 'Barbie' with some other, less attractive face?

For instance they could have a Chelsea Clinton barbie.
