How utterly tragic.

(I couldn't find where anything of this story had been posted, yet.)

[Support Free Republic]

The former President disembarks from his airplane after a trip back to Arkansas. Although the hoopla is less now that he is out of office, Clinton still occasionally finds himself greeted by military personnel. This is one such occasion.

He climbs down the stairs, carrying two huge pigs, one under each arm. He gets to the bottom, and nods his head in return to the soldier's salute. "Son, what do you think about these?" he says. "Nice pigs, SIR!" comes the reply. Clinton gets mildly miffed and lectures, "I'll have you know these aren't just pigs but the finest of Arkansas Razorbacks. Top notch. I got one for Hillary, and one for Chelsea. What do you think about that?"

"Nice trade, SIR!

Your donations keep us laughing at liberals

When will these idiots EVER learn NOT to do this?!?!?!?!?!

[Pan_Yans Wife]

The parents, guardians and caregivers who are negligent enough to let this happen, should lose their right to ever have children in their care, again. EVERY summer this happens... when will people ever learn?

[wideawake]

Unbelievable. I have to assume that the five year old was developmentally disabled or simply died in his sleep.

I can't imagine a normal five year old being unable to get out of a car.

This is really tragic.The woman is evil or ignorant.

[MaxPlus305]

I doubt evil, if you mean in the sense that she wanted her kids to die. That's kind of a dumb way to do it.

[areafiftyone]

OMG 5 Freakin hours?????? Those poor babies!!!

[JennysCool]

She thought her husband had removed them from the van? "There was some miscommunication"?

For FIVE HOURS?

I think something else is going on here. And I hope to God those kids weren't turned over to meet their death at the hands of a foster parent for some piddly little infraction involving the birth parents.

But, then again, this IS California.

I would guess "evil" in the sense of not being concerned about anything or anyone but one's self and one's tasks.

[admiralsn]

To me this is as simple as "You don't leave your child unattended in the bathtub," or "You don't let your child play with light sockets," or "Don't play with matches." What kind of DUMB, STUPID, IDIOTIC, MORON cannot understand that leaving a child or animal in a locked, un-airconditioned car for any amount of time is dangerous? Some people should not be allowed to breed.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Poor,poor babies. They're born to someone that can't take care of them, and then they get stuck with this imbecile.

Maybe we should forget about spreading our tax money to Palestinians, Africans and illegal immigrants, and spend it on screening foster parents and fixing our child protection system. This stinks.

[admiralsn]

As sick as it may sound, I would pay to see this woman locked in a car in 120º heat for 5 hours. I'd just keep telling her, "Well I think your husband is supposed to get you out."

[areafiftyone]

Some people should not be allowed to breed.

The bad thing is this lady was in charge of the Day Care! In charge of all those kids! That Day Care should be investigated and closed down if need be!

[smadurski]

how in the f*** could anyone leave a kid in a car for 5 hours?

[sociotard]

Would it be inappropriate to "Forget" to let her out of the squad car? It'd be a shame to waste a nice sunny July afternoon such as this.

[DarthVader]

She should be put locked in a steam closet or sauna which is turned on high for about 12 hrs and see if she likes it. But Life + 100 years for stupidity in San Quentin should suffice.

[areafiftyone]

I don't know. I freak out if I get too hot being outside for more than 1/2 hour - imagine what these kids went thru! This is sooo sick!
