Sorry , but I do not see the humor in this suggestion from former President Clinton:

Citing President Bush’s recent cameo appearance on NBC’s “Deal or No Deal,” former President Bill Clinton today suggested that his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, might want to appear on a network show, too, “like, I dunno, maybe ‘Wife Swap’ or something, you know, just to mix it up.”

Speaking to a crowd in Evansville, Ind., before the Indiana primary, Clinton said he saw the reaction President Bush got when his face popped up on the video screen on “Deal or No Deal,” and he thought his wife might generate a similarly positive reaction were she to switch places with Sen. Osama’s “very attractive” wife, Michelle, for a week.

“Come on now, who wouldn’t want to see that?” Clinton asked, presumably rhetorically. “Hillary and Barack havin’ to spend a week together as husband and wife while campaigning against each other? It’d be great! And me and Michelle having to spend a week together being campaign spouses, just sittin’ at home on the couch, all lonely, waiting for a phone call from the road most nights, then going on the trail, spending lots of nights stuck with nothing to do in nice hotel suites that have big Jacuzzi tubs and fully stocked mini bars? Oh, man, why didn’t I think of this before?!”

What an odd suggestion from a man who was disgraced while in office in part for his relationships with women other than his spouse. Further, is this behavior we should expect from one who once had the privilege of residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

Some might say, lighten up, this is a joke. My answer to that would be look no further than Senator Clinton replying “no comment” when asked about these latest hair brained comments by her husband.

What anyone does in their private life is their business, but when your wife is running for President, I think you could show a bit more respect for her and the office she aspires to hold.

   Without knowing it, you and I are on the same general wavelength.

   This man really likes to play close to the edge. I see no humor in what he said because he is so idolized by some people they will think it’s a great idea and start swapping wives. And it won’t be like the TV show. It will be like the seventies all over again.

   Where are we headed morally as a country? It scares me to think about it.
