THE DAY MY MOM FELL IN LOVE WITH BILL CLINTON
My mom probably would be embarrassed to be the subject of a Schmuckraker blog posting.. but luckily she has become pretty much Internet illiterate since she retired from her office job..

Today, a pretty fair minded woman named Sharon fell in love again. It wasn't with her husband, though I am sure she never lost her love for him, but instead, it was Bill Clinton, the former President..

Her excitement was building today, as she sat with family and friends waiting for the former Commander in Chief to arrive in Girardville. The parade was extremely late.. Word is that while we waited, Clinton eagerly ate Screamers, a staple of Girardville, PA and the entire Coal Region. Tony's makes history.

But as he strolled down the street, waving, and proudly smiling, she threw off her blanket, stood in the air, and clapped her hands .. it was almost like a religious experience! She was out of breath.. and tonight, at the 10pm hour, she is still talking about it.. "He was a beautiful specimen," she told me tonight. "I never expected him to look that good. I think he is truly happy, I think he really loves people."

It appeared, today at least, like my mom was right. The Girardville Saint Patrick's day parade was supposed to begin at 2pm.. but since Clinton was in town, everything was thrown off.

He finally was in front of us around 2pm.. Screaming adoring fans lined the streets.

Hillary was originally supposed to show up. I think everyone's pretty happy she didn't. Hillary signs adorned the streets of Guntown, but a lot of words were said proclaiming that she probably won't win.. There are also even some rumors she wants the New York Governor slot now, instead.. Bill encompassed something more.. He proudly walked the streets of a small town.. Though I really haven't figured out why just yet, Girardville seemed to be a perfect fit for Clinton. He ate up the attention.. he loved it.

But my mom loved it, too. She didn't have too many kind words for Hillary. But she sure got reminded of why she loved the 1990s so much. She never admitted her liking for Bill.. but I figured it out finally today: She was always a closet Clinton lover. ..

Now I am beginning to see how the 90's scandals happened. Thank God my mom didn't have a White House job...
