NOW to deliver 1,500 baby bottle nipples to former Sen. Simpson

NOW to deliver 1,500 baby bottle nipples to former Sen. Simpson
By Jordan Fabian - 09/28/10 11:45 AM ET


When former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) presides over the next meeting of President Obama's fiscal commission, he'll receive a surprising package from a women's rights group upset with one of his controversial comments.

NOW announced Tuesday it will head to Capitol Hill to deliver 1,500 baby bottles nipples to Simpson on Wednesday, before the next meeting of the commission on which Simpson serves as co-chairman.

The group is dubbing its effort a delivery of 1,500 "Tits for an Ass."

Several liberal lawmakers and activist groups, including NOW, last month called on Obama to remove Simpson from his post after he wrote an e-mail to a leader of a women's group calling Social Security "a milk cow with 300 million tits."

“NOW's 500,000 members and supporters responded overwhelmingly when we asked them to use our website or Twitter account to help us buy baby bottle nipples,” NOW President Terry O'Neill said in a statement. “And I'm ready to deliver them to Mr. Simpson -- as a going-away gift -- when I urge him to have the decency to step down from the Fiscal Commission."

1. What a great idea!
And do they think he'll really have the decency to step down? Oh, Hell no.

Here's a man who has zero empathy for ordinary Americans, and who will never have to worry about his retirement.

Sickening.

2. 5th Rec. I remember NOW's pledge well, and I'd love to see the look on his face.
