What is it lately that makes the Hollywood left work Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg into ordinary, even rather boring, sitcoms? It happened again in the April 16 episode of CBS’s Man With a Plan titled “King for a Day.” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/49694-man-with-an-all-seasons-discussion/?page=2)This time it is because a liberal mom doesn’t want her daughter playing dress up like a princess. Presumably if it was her son she would have been fine with it.
Liberal mom Andi Burns (Liza Snyder) has been telling the children what she calls white lies rather than go through a series of “why?” questions from them whenever she answers one of their questions. She eventually starts doing it to her husband, Adam (Matt LeBlanc), too. If it wasn’t bad enough that she treats her husband as she does her children, she explains to Adam that she doesn’t want their youngest daughter, Emme (Hala Finley) to have the princess dress Adam bought for her. She raises the children with gender-neutral toys, naturally.
Andi says she is putting the children and Adam in a “protective love bubble” and that the lies are a time-saving solution to the endless questions from them. To counter the princess dress, which Emme absolutely loves, especially as she and Adam have a tea party together, Andi comes home with a new doll for Emme. That’s right – it’s a Ruth Bader Ginsburg doll. Really?
