Wow....it's surrealistic! Tell me I'm having a nightmare. Say it
ain't so Joe! I kid you not I have to pause and catch my breath. I don't
dare change the channel or I'll never be able to find it again and
spend the rest of my life trying to convince myself that it was real.
It's the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner....a seven decade long charity fundraiser for the needy people of New York City. Donald Trump is speaking and Hillary Clinton is only a few yards away. He is telling jokes...only they're not jokes...they are the same words that he uses in describing Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail. Hillary is laughing! Donald Trump goes on for a while and some people begin booing. I'm trying to avoid vomiting because of the absurdity of it all and I refuse to leave the television because of the aforementioned reason. Mr. Trump finishes with....God bless America.....and now I feel like weeping
Hillary has her turn and is speaking now. Is it my imagination or has the earth been rocked off of its axis this evening? There are no boos....only smiles....as she plies her own comedy routine. Trump smiles along. This dueling roast would have been fine in normal times, it would have been acceptible even in difficult times with such a worthy cause, but with our nation in the waning moments of its existence, and through a coup with none other than one of the co-conspirators on the dais, it's a travesty...and a mockery.
The festivities are over and Donald Trump is long long gone but Hillary Clinton remains behind laughing and chatting with as many people as she can....and laugh she should for it was her evening!
