@cirocco: Totally agree with you. And all of his comments of I-think-I-can-say-this-about-you-but-I-could-be wrong crap is just his passive aggressive way of saying he'd like to get to know her better. Much much better.

@SundaysAndCybele: That is such a perfect excerpt. It is the true essence of what elevates this e-mail to Crap status.
@aspiringexpatriate: Well, I think we can all agree with him on that point.
@Penny: I, too, doubt that they're making a meaningful comment on motherhood. Rather, they're speaking in the language of trends, as per usual. Pregnancy and babies became oddly trendy a few years ago, but no trend can last forever. Maybe this is the beginning of a baby backlash!

You know how most adults talk down to kids - especially sick kids? There isn't the slightest trace of that in this interview. He's so gracious and charming. Love it!
@AuntieBee: I've wondered about this, too. Could John Jr. be the last little boy to call the White House home?

@doodley is not amused: All that says to me is that orders of protection should be more readily available to ALL victims of violence, no matter their relation to the perpetrator.
Today I was reminded why I usually avoid Snap Judgements entirely. Sigh.
Amongst my friends, when a person is wearing a shirt but no pants (be it your dad or LiLo), we say they are "Porky Piggin' It". Because Porky Pig will wear a jacket with a tie and even gloves, yet he'll still walk out the door without a stitch of clothing on his lower half.
