“I said to her: madam, I think the child’s hungry.”

“Yes, it’s probably time…” she replied.

“Please give it something to eat!” I said.

“She was shy and didn’t want to breast-feed in public, while the Pope was passing. I wish to say the same to humanity: give people something to eat! That woman had milk to give to her child; we have enough food in the world to feed everyone.”

[4Q2u2]

1. How Dare He

Does he not know the Marxist protocol for breast feeding. It must be done in a Olive Garden on Friday night while accompanied by a pit bull guard dog.
How silly he suggest compassion and understanding. Who does he think he is the POPE!!!!!!!!!

4. OK, now he's gone too far!

If there's one thing a man can't stand, it's a public display of what his favorite playthings are actually for.

5. That message needs to go out to americans - especially african americans

there is a 17 percent gap between white and black mothers who breastfeed their babies.

ON EDIT:
Although I think the reason for the gaps is that black women tend to be primary breadwinners in their families and need to work multiple shifts/jobs .. thus preventing them from breastfeeding their children

7. Did this happen at The Olive Garden?

Italy probably has lots of fine Italian dining establishments like The Olive Garden.
Any pit bulls?

8. Bill Maher isn't gonna like this.. or is he?

I wonder how he likes Pope Francis?

9. "If [Palin] thinks Pope Francis is liberal, wait until she finds out what Jesus has been saying"

[Voice for Peace]

10. but as I recall Maher is strongly opposed to women breastfeeding in public.

11. OK - I found a video

Yeah, he's wrong, basically, though he seems to be using it mainly as a source of cheap jokes, and sees it as narcissism by the mothers. Maybe he is envious of women over this.

12. as much as I appreciate him he can be an arrogant ass

and there are some things I strongly disagree with him about, this is one.

14. I'm thinking I like this Francis

If his objective was to shake up the papacy and the Opus Dei mindset in some corners, he's doing a damn good job of it.
