Gold Star Mothers, got you, okay, thank you -- Blue Star Mothers, Gold Star Mothers, all the mothers, yes. (Applause.) Every day is Mother's Day as far as your concerned, isn't it?
For those who don't quite understand, read the links. Gold or blue star references a small flag some families hang in windows to indicate that a child is serving overseas. Made popular during WWII, they're still used today. One star per child; blue for serving, gold for killed in action.

I know about the stars ... I'm just hoping the commentary you quoted wasn't actually intended to sound the way it did. Rude.
ahhh, the joys of insensitivity, stupidity, or both?
