...didn't like" Bush's decision. To make his case he sites several examples, including a comparison of ABC Newscasts from 2001 versus 1993.

Yet in 1993, ABC anchor Peter Jennings had softer language about Clinton's decision to allow such funding. "President Clinton kept a promise today..." said Jennings.

At a baby shower before her 6-month-old daughter Fatima was born, a friend gave Parilla a competing diaper as a gift. She regrets ignoring her sister's advice to stay away from other brands.
