Mad Men Mitt

The women of Mad Men in Mitt Romney terms:
  • Betty, Trudy, Francine = Good Moms

  • Joan = Former Good Mom, now Bad Mom

  • Megan = Bad Step Mom with hint of Good Mom to come

  • Helen = Bad Mom

  • Peggy = Either off-the-scale Bad Mom for giving up her baby and continuing in her career or Good Mom for not having an abortion and giving up her kid to some undoubtedly good Christian family instead of keeping it and being a single Mom on welfare.

  • Mad Men: Set Me Free from Pop Culture Pirate on Vimeo.

    Romney: Poor stay-at-home moms lack "the dignity of work"

    While Mitt Romney said just last week that "all moms are working moms" (commenting on the Hilary Rosen flap), only three months ago, he said that poor moms who stayed at home with their very young children needed to have "the dignity of work" and that mothers on welfare should be required to work outside the home or lose their benefits.

    So remember folks, staying at home with your kids is only "work' if you're rich -- anything else is simply undignified!
