Chicago Paper Endorses Sippy Cups For Older Kids

“Sippy cups are primarily for toddlers, yes. But they’re also handy when you put a 7-year-old in a pristine white dress, hand her chocolate milk and expect her to stay clean and happy. After the Tribune reported she was drinking chocolate milk (a treat, we assume, for suffering through the day in court), the sippy cup decision struck us as eminently reasonable.”
-The Chicago Sun-Times defends Rod and Patti Blagojevich’s decision to have their daughter carry a sippy cup into the courtroom where the former Illinois governor is being tried for corruption. Critics contend it was a ruse meant to make the jury think the daughter is younger than her 7 years. Jury deliberations began earlier today, and at least one observer thinks Blagojevich has a good chance of beating the rap.
