COMMENTS: Bob the Inspector
While some senators were debating war, others conducted hearings into toys. NBC's Andrea Mitchell played catch-up on yesterday's agreement--covered by CBS' Nancy Cordes and ABC's David Kerley (subscription required)--between the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the People's Republic of China to inspect for lead paint in imported toys. As "the Senate demanded answers" from Nancy Nord, the head of the CPSC, Mitchell could not resist returning to the priceless clip she showed us last Wednesday of the entire federal toy safety testing bureaucracy: "one cramped lab and a solitary inspector--Bob." Again we watched as Bob dropped a toy train set from a designated height. "Bob," testified Commissioner Nord, "is our small parts guy."
