Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed! Children’s book raises Hillary’s Ire…



An new children’s book bashing the left has provoked comments from the staff of New York Senator, Hillary Clinton. Apparently they do not appreciate the fact that the arch-villan of "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!" bears an uncanny resemblance to Sen. Clinton.

The Hill reported in their Capital Living Section:

The storybook involves two young brothers who sell lemonade to pay for a swing set — the idea being that they will feel better about themselves if they earn the money to buy their own toy.

The author is Katherine DeBrecht, a journalist and member of the South Carolina Federation of Republican Women. Her book, published by World Ahead Publishing, incorporates caricatures of contemporary politicians. They include Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as Congresswoman Clunkton, who orders the boys to reduce the sugar in their lemonade and add broccoli to each glass, and Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), who, as Mayor Leach, takes half the lemonade profits to purchase dustpans instead of a more charitable cause.

It sounds to me like they copied a more than just Clinton’s looks. The caricature was so true to life that Clinton’s staff had to resort to attacking Republicans instead of the merits of the books arguments.

Philippe “Salty” Reines, Clinton’s press secretary, remarked, “Can’t wait for the sequel, Help! Mom! I Can’t Read This Book Because Republicans Have Cut Literacy Programs!”


I gotta find this book!
