Larchmont Mayor Liz Feld seems to be having a busy morning.
Earlier today she criticized U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), whose seat Feld has made no secret she’s eyeing, over the healthcare bill passed in the Senate today.
Now she’s taking shots at China over the country’s handling of climate change talks in Europe last week. Today Feld wrote a column on the Web site for the conservative group Family Security Matters saying she’s protesting China’s behavior by not buying toys made there.
“Today I will finish my Christmas shopping,” she writes. “And while scanning the shelves, I’ll be on the lookout for those three ubiquitous words: Made in China. Anything with that label goes right back onto the shelf. It’s a small and personal protest, but one well worth it to me.”

This woman, though perhaps well-meaning, should get herself a savvy PR rep. Consultant?
Will she stop eating Chinese food
She will no longer play Chinese Checkers and she will eat from plastic plates. She lost five Chinese votes. Unlikely that she’ll take on the Italians.
she should have a big problem with just about everything
that china does…they have no environmental standards
in their manufacturing…for example they have exported
millions of tons of defective chinese drywall to the US
which has made hundreds of thousands of US homes mostly
in florida and louisiana uninhabitable because the
drywall chemically disintigrates and produces a corrosive
sulfuric compound whihc corrodes all wiring, appliances and
creates a health hazard..
Get that ZYR and Stoli out of the liquor cabinet!
china should be boycotted by america until such time that
it makes the products it exports to this nation safe…
safe toys, safe construction products, and safe food..
Are you going to stop shopping at Walmart
Do you really think that you will run into the Consultant at a Walmart? As Buddy Holly sang: “That’ll Be the Day.”
good one ed 1…
China has a horrible human rights record. The government treats their people like dirt. The tragic part of this is the US does a large chunk of trade with them, and a lot of cash is going abroad.
Boycott away.
