Defending Dad

I was raised to show the highest regard and respect for my elders and parents were on top of the list. So when Pat Dewine, out with a date, overheard rude remarks about his dad, Sen. Mike DeWine, he got upset and spoke up. Though no call to police ensued, it did make the papers. Was sticking up for dad such a big deal or do we expect politicians to forget their personal lives and relationships when they step into public office?

It must be said, the younger DeWine called and apologized to the 'insulter' who also in return apologized for his comments not intended to reach Pat's ears. In a rare moment, not necessarily to the likings of reporters, the restaurant owner also declined comments.

After probably one of the most negative campaign seasons this mid-term election, are you refreshed at the end result of civility on the part of the parties involved or are you so immune that you are disappointed that a little more mud wasn't thrown around? Now, let's be honest!
