Could this be some kind of weird ABC apology/inclusive thing about Barbara Walters' "discomfort" with nursing mothers? If daddy were to do that in First Class she might not be so upset?
You know, I wondered that, too. Some of The View 'ladies' were so disgusted by the idea (oh the horror!) of a mom nursing. If Barbara saw a dad doing that in First Class, or anywhere, she'd probably have him on the show and talk about how wonderful he is, and then all the shows would want him on. The feminazis really do go to any length here. Finally, (sarcasm) dad is useful for 'something'.
