Drunken Hookup Barbie Demands Bush Official’s Resignation

Perhaps I’m missing something, but the video doesn’t sound all THAT offensive to me. I would expect a consumer ADVOCACY group to have an extreme reaction to this issue. Our legislators should more outraged at the potential risks these toys would pose to American children than chastising this safety official. It’s about time that pandering to foreign governments took second place to the health and safety of the American public.

This is ridiculous. People are so quick to point fingers and place the blame somewhere. Let’s focus on the issue at hand.

hey kool

Bush may have appointed the person? in response to Why is “Bush” in the title?

Maybe I’m missing something here. I worked in the product safety and reliability department of a major US toy manufacturer many years ago, and at that time it was the company’s responsibilty to assure that all products complied with CPSC regulations. All products were tested and validated to conform. All paints used were tested for banned substances—lead and others– prior to approval for use. All manufactured product was audited for compliance when shipments from off-shore suppliers were receved. If non-conformimg product was detected, the shipments were destroyed and the supplier was held accountable for all costs. Subsequent shipments were scrutinized more closely.
How is it now that the government watchdog agency— Consumer Product Safety Commision is being held accountable for the shortcomings and failings of the manufaturers to adequetly monitor the manufacturing of their products???

The refusal to take safety precautions is clearly an attack on the American people. These countries are committing Bioterrorism to kill us bloodlessly. And it seems the murderers include the Bush administration. The terrorists are after us all right, but they want us to BUY the poisoned Kool-aid from them….and laugh all the way to the bank.

In response to the comment about working for the product safety department of a major US toy manuf and questioning “How is it now that the government watchdog agency— Consumer Product Safety Commision is being held accountable?” Its simple. The CPSC is supposed to make sure the corporations stick to the law. The corporations obviously didn’t, because their toys are made in China and it wouldn’t be cost effective to test each bath and obviously the Chinese don’t care. And the CPSC is asking for less money to investigate Big Corporations so they can claim “we just don’t have the manpower” so they won’t P**S of Republican Doners…AND if there is a CPSC, why is it there except to make sure the corporations don’t do those things the CPSC was established to keep from happening. Right now the CPSC stands for the Corporation Protective Social Club.

Where do you get the “drunk” from, neither were drunk, you took a lot of liberties with your description, but you better take them now, while there are any left.

Re-read the title:::
Drunken Hookup Barbie Demands Bush Official’s Resignation
It says Bush Official’s

They’re using “Bush” in the title to attract more attention to the story. Pelosi and the liberal media want nothing more than to blame Bush for anything they can get away with.
The problem is much more complex than firing a so-called “Bush official”. We are dependent on Chinese products because our own manufacturing industry is virtually gone. Why? Because for US companies to compete they have to make stuff cheaper.
And its cheaper to ignore safety, environmental, and labor concerns. You know, sweatshops, pollution, toxic chemicals are cost-effective.
But where are we going to buy the stuff, if not from China? The Chinese are much more powerful than anybody will tell you, and they are growing more so each day. So what will cause the Chinese to change their ways? The same thing that created the monster: Consumers, market forces, and the dollar vote.

Most probably the CEO’s for these toy companies are democrats ( didn’t Toys-R-Us contribute to the democrates?); they pushed their manufacturing off-shore where it was “cheaper” laid off american workers and paid themselves exhorbitant salaries. They didn’t bother to keep check on their chinese sub-contractors, that would have cost money. Maybe we should call for all of Congress to step down and resign.

Sure the Chicoms load up USA_bound products with poisonous stupid_making chemicals. You pay for it, pals.

Buy stuff from your nieghbor. You know, the local mom-n-pop operations. If we quit buying the crap that they are sending us, then they will stop shipping it here. I’d rather keep my local businesses in business, than some faceless Chinese executive. But some people hold the almighty dollar higher than principles, and that is why we will always be bombarded by foriegn products.

one time letting banned lead through and the company should be shut down no second chance this is our kids their putting in danger

omg this is the funniest thing ive heard of in awhile..people are so unique and yea whats the deal with bush in the title this has nothimg to do with that c average moron

Nord, Bush’s appointee, has let the companies get away with murder. She couldn’t answer as to how her agency tests for lead when she knew that was going to be the subject matter before Congress. In China, they deal with corruption a bit differently.

Santa Clause will have a light load this year.
