Mrs. Depends

By Rick Ballard with M. Lopez

It is said that couples grow to resemble each other more with each year that passes. Mrs. Clinton now furnishes ample proof of that axiom:

"It depends upon what state they're in. It depends upon what they think the risks are," Clinton said. "A governor of New York that has a lot of immigrants, many of whom we know are not there legally, has to worry about security. A governor of another state where that's not a problem doesn't."

No one can forget the statement by her husband, the first elected President ever to be impeached, that "it depends upon the meaning of is". He certainly can't, for he was disbarred for using such sophisms under oath. It is a kind gesture by Mrs. Clinton to join her "husband" in order to become "America's First Depends Couple". By doing so she remains as close and as codependant as she was on the first day that she became aware of her husband's relationship with Gennifer Flowers, some thirty years ago.

The marketing department at Kimberly-Clark should give some consideration to signing Mr. and Mrs. Depends as a celebrity spokescouple. They wouldn't want to miss the boat as the makers of Eggos did in failing to sign Senator Waffle in 2004.
