REPORTER: Mrs. Fetterman, your son has ascended to high office. I’m sure you’re proud of that! However, since you’re his mother, can you share any insights with us about his unusual clothing influences?

Fetterman is perfect for his State. He will surely be elected again.

Be careful. Articles like this may cause poor John to fall back into Depression and have to go back to the mental hospital for another couple months . . . .
