Not if she doesn't vote in her primary, which she didn't. That is ultimately how you "help" a politician in the end, you vote for them in elections. But who cares about voting in elections when you have the tools to make such neat propaganda?

Come oh Farhad,

At least King Kaufman acknowledges it when he slips stuff in just to get page views and search hits on google.

I've read you, often, Farhid, and I particularly love the thought-provoking Shirky discussion, in your first article, today...it's stirred up a hornet's nest in the comment section {it's all good, though]

It accurately describes the Obama True Believers. Everyone was hyped up and ready to go Vote for Bart, but Martin won with two votes because everyone was too busy eating Marge's cupcakes when they should have been casting their ballets.

Come on, Farhad! You're talking about this like it's some new development!

But everybody remembers "Lyndon Johnson Girl" from the mid-1960s, doing a Shindig!-style hip-shaking dance in front of a picture of Johnson in his swimtrunks with his distended belly hanging out.

"Nixon Girl" was also pretty hot, what with her nuzzling Checkers the Dog against her bosom and rasing one eyebrow with her saucy lyrics about Nixon's "dirty tricks department" in the bedroom.

The fact is, though, this goes all the way back to "Quincy Adams Girl" who suggestively ballroom-danced in a powdered wig and sung about Adams tickling her buttocks with a Declaration-of-Independence-signing feather and all that (you probably read about it in grade school).

My favorite of all time was Lincoln Girl and her little ditty about "Four 'scores' and seven beers ago," not to mention the suggestive dance she did holding that big top hat over her ruffled bootay.

(Don't get me started on Jefferson Girl with the stuff about riding the dumb waiter to his bedrom, or Zachary Taylor Girl with the provocative lyrics about "old rough and ready," etc.)

As for Clinton Girl....well, we all know how that ended.

Chris Sinnard: "...everyone was too busy eating Marge's cupcakes when they should have been casting their ballets."

Isn't that what happened to Desmond 'Tutu'?

Has anybody done a parody "McCain Girl" video where it's a lobbyist-looking woman dancing around singing about having an affair with him?

I'll have to check YouTube for that.

I would pay to see McCain girl or Clinton girl. Which one wears the Hawkgirl outfit and says, "Less talking, more hitting"?

love,

Manjoo Girl

that was hilarious!
