Parents are a protected group, Mr. Chappelle...

Hee, hee. I love that quotation from last week. It is the best thing Chloe has said all season on 24.

I was so excited when I realized that I had made it through almost two-thirds of 24 tonight without a painful Chloe-Kim moment. And as soon as I thought, "Woo hoo, no painful scene with the two of them tonight," Chloe calls Tony and asks for Kim to come to her office. UGH... What is it about the two of them in a scene together? It is by far the most painful television viewing experience EVER.

Anyway, the reason Chloe wants to see Kim is so she can have her take care of her baby (thus allowing her to go do her job). What the hell? Why would you ever leave your baby in Kim's care? She's a menace. Everything she touches turns to crap. It's a miracle Jack is still alive after raising her. After all her misadventures I'm sure CTU looks like a piece of cake to Jack.

After Kim fails miserably at caring for the baby after only 15 minutes (and she was a nanny last year), the baby starts crying and alerts everyone to the fact that she is still there. Chappelle wants to suspend Chloe for bringing the baby to work, but Michelle says that they need her. Chloe asks (in the snippiest tone ever) who is going to take care of her baby since she has work to do. Chappelle volunteers Kim to do it. Again I ask, what the hell? I can't decided which is worse: 1) Chloe thinking she is owed child care by CTU or 2) Chappelle acknowledging the fact that Kim is useless and can be sacrificed for Chloe's nanny demand.
