Daily Kos, you’re being a bit cynical<\/a>. I played with Barbies – still do! – and playing with Barbies didn\u2019t turn me into a vacuous turd or burden me with painful self-image issues. Honestly, I don\u2019t see anything wrong with portraying Barbie in a position of power. I think that exposing our daughters and sons to dolls that are representative of strong women is a \/good\/ thing. So fucking what if she has long legs and a big rack? Women of power can\u2019t be tall and large breasted? Do women have to dumb down their looks or charm in order to be taken seriously? I think that\u2019s pretty fucking sexist, too. Is \/that\/ what we want to teach our children?<\/p>\n

President Barbie is clutching the Bill of Rights, and that\u2019s certainly not something you\u2019ll see Sarah Palin doing any time soon, unless she’s using it as a wipe rag. Mark my words, I\u2019d vote for a real plastic doll in a heartbeat before I\u2019d vote for that nitwit. Go, President Barbie, go! Maybe your miniature Bill of Rights will inspire the future Senator Lilith Victoria Barrial (D-CA) to greater heights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
