Bed-wetting? What next?

I opened my email this morning and there it was; the headline link for The Borowitz Report, "Hillary Accuses Obama of Bed-wetting." In a section just beneath the headline appears a warning, highlighted in yellow, "Prepared to be shocked."

Shocked, indeed; disgusted is more like it. Whatever happened to integrity, decency, or how about just plan old manners. The Clinton campaign, if this is really true, is reaching far beyond the bottom of the barrel. They go too far when they try to connect what a person may have done in an isolated incident that is quite common in early childhood, which holds no significance to anything of value, and use this as an example that that person cannot hold their own (no pun intended) against other political rivals, i.e., the Republicans. This is too bizarre.

Before this, Hillary accused Barack of being overly ambitious because in kindergarten he “wrote an essay” saying he wanted to be president. Then it was suggested that Republicans would have a field day with the teenage drug use. Oh, wait, that's not it. Hillary now says that Republicans are going to win over Barack because he wet his bed when he was a young toddler. What next. Is Hillary trying to get into a name calling kind of who can out rank the other … campaign … thing? No, it's a train wreck careening off the track, suffering from of flight of ideas but in slow motion.

What about the economy; saving our planet, stopping nuclear proliferation, quality education for all Americans, quality health care access for all Americans, bringing our troops home from Iraq. This is what Americans care about; the adult issues that we all face today in a very real, adult world.

I can remember my mother making my children walk around a rather large whole they had dug in her garden, trying to see if they could dig their way to China. As they walked around the whole, she made them repeat over and over, “I will not dig another whole in Grandma's garden.” They never did.

Maybe we should have Hillary and her staff write 300 times each, “I will not make childlike accusations against my opponents, but will focus on the issues and act like an adult for the duration of my campaign.” Wouldn’t that be something!
