There are some sweet little girls who are stealing the show left and right, the Presidential election show that is. I wrote about them here. Yes indeed, they love their dad and its so very evident that he is wrapped around their fingers …about 20 times each!

Giving hugs of encouragement to their dad prior and after a major GOP Debate is a GOOD THING (channeling Martha Stewart). However, having your daughters help you read a Christmas story is a BAD THING! At least according to WaPo cartoonist Ann Telnaes. She wrote this after the Ted Cruz Ad that aired during SNL last weekend:

In commentary accompanying the cartoon, Telnaes explained why she thought this was an exception to what she described as “an unspoken rule in editorial cartooning that a politician’s children are off-limits.”

“But when a politician uses his children as political props, as Ted Cruz recently did in his Christmas parody video in which his eldest daughter read (with her father’s dramatic flourish) a passage of an edited Christmas classic, then I figure they are fair game,” Telnaes wrote.

The cartoon below is WaPo’s writer and cartoonist Ann Telnaes idea of “Fair Game” regarding children of a Presidential candidate.
