If the Portland Press Herald could credibly blame the vice president of the United States for banning adults from a Maine children’s museum then sugar-plum fairies would be real.
Well, sugar-plum fairies are real, judging from a new line of attack on Republican J.D. Vance from your favorite losepaper. And, to quote Jerry Seinfeld, “not there’s anything wrong with sugar-plum fairies..”
The paper’s newest culture columnist had to pick a foil to complain about the Children’s Museum of Maine’s policy denying entry to adults not accompanied by children.
After all, if you’re going to pick a nonsensical fight with a children’s museum you’d better have a good excuse.
But when columnist Leslie Bridgers claims it’s J.D. Vance’s fault that the Children’s Museum discriminates against the childless, that’s a bridge too far.
In her latest fantasy, Bridgers decided that the museum’s longtime ban on childless adults is somehow related to Vance’s inarticulate joke about “childless cat ladies.”
“The museum doesn’t admit adults who don’t have a child with them,” whined Bridgers. “What in the JD Vance kind of policy is this? After being able to rent a car, I assumed my age wasn’t going come into play at any place of business until I qualified for senior discounts, and I never suspected my childlessness would hinder me from doing what I wanted.”
The real problem is, if a supposedly nonpartisan source of daily news is going to pick a popular fight, it should have a basis for its complaint, lest it lose even more credibility than it already has lost, right?
That being obvious, once Bridgers chose the Republican vice president as the basis of her ire, one would have assumed she had research to back up the ridiculous charge.
Wrong again.
In fact, in the same column, by her own admission, Bridgers quotes the Virginia-based Association of Children’s Museums, of which the Maine museum is a member, that it’s “fairly common” to for kids’ venues to require adults to bring a child to get in the door.
Can’t make it up, as we say in the trade.
Yet the column wasn’t done yet with criticizing the Trump administration for singling out children.
Bridgers blasted the Republican president himself for pulling a $250,000 federal grant that funded museum programs about Wabanaki culture.
The moral from the Portland Press Herald’s Connecticut-born Maine culture-expert is as follows: If you’re unhappy with a children’s museum, blame Republicans for your choice to go childless.
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
$250,000 is chump change for multi millionaires Collins, Pingree and King maybe they would be willing to help.

Good thing one doesn’t need to have a brain to be a Democrap…..or one of their willing sycophants in the media………………….
Can women who are not there with children allowed enter? Asking for a trans friend, lol
Ask yourself why there is a need for a ‘children’s museum system.’ Back in the day…..all museums were for everyone. What are they really whining about?
