Barrios Likely To Regret His War on Fluff
The Boston Globe notes the backlash against Barrios since his anti-Fluff proposal the other day.
Since word of Barrios’s war on Fluff spread, the story has been picked up by local and national television and radio programs. Numerous blog postings opposed the senator’s proposal, with supporters of Fluff asking if there weren’t more important things the lawmaker should focus on.
Barrios was blasted on talk radio Monday, with defenders of Fluffernutters suggesting that the sandwiches are an easy and economical meal that parents can fix and that children will actually eat.
He could not be reached for comment yesterday.
I think it is safe to say that Barrios now knows what his legacy will be. He will be remembered as the guy who waged a war on Fluff.

Didn’t our founding father’s wear wigs made of something that looked like fluff when they founded this country? What does Barrios want, to re-enslave us to Britain?
And will Reinstein be the Fluff Defender? The whole thing’s absurd.
It’s hell when the cheap shots richochet on you, isn’t it Senator?
Aww, Mike–you just inspired a truly revolting image of colonists with melting marshmallow goo on their heads. D’oh!
This is the greatest thing Senator Barrios has ever done.
I grant that it’s a low bar.
My position is that, as long as it keeps them out of real trouble, it’s a good use for their time. In fact, I think we should all call our legislators and urge them to support unlimited debate.
As a gun owner in this state, I stand behind Sen. Barrios in his anti-Fluff crusade 110%.
The only reason being, the more time he devotes to this foolishness, the less time he’ll have to advance his virulent anti-gun agenda.
