Hillary's Tony new ad

And you thought you were the only one who saw a little Carm in Hillary, and Tony in Bill?

The letters thread is now closed.

Wow

I didn't think Hillary had that much of a sense of humor. This is kind of fun.

How cute

So what is this? Is life in America just a joke to these people?

This is quite enough, Salon...

I don't care if it was funny (which, in all fairness, it kinda was), I'm getting a bit tired of the uncritical interviews, stories and clips featuring the Hillary Clinton campaign. If I am to go on respecting you as a serious news source, you need to be a bit more evenhanded in both your framing and gatekeeping. Seriously, is Salon on the DLC payroll?

Let's talk about the REAL issue!

Celine Dion? Gah! What was she thinking?

I am officially giving up on the Clinton campaign.

I liked the inclusion of the old fat white guy who looks at the Clintons disapprovingly. A bit odd.

Shillary

I'm as liberal as anybody, but I can't stand the "cute Hillary." I don't much care for the "pandering Hillary" either. I would like to see more of the "serious Hillary" who actually talks about important issues like what she's going to do to address the HUGE national debt problem, how she's going to get us out of Iraq, whether she's going to promote corporate responsibility or just glad-hand those billionaires while paying lip service to ethics rules, what her approach will be to the illegal immigration problem (or will she allow the current stalemate to continue?), and so on.

I ask the same from Edwards, Obama, and all the others who are throwing their hat in -- Bloomberg (?), Ron Paul, Al Gore (?), or any other contenders who can be taken half-way seriously (McCain, Giuliani and Romney are fully out of contention).

I don't need a parody of "The Sopranos." I don't need to know a candidate is pop-culturally savvy (or at least hip enough to pretend to be). That isn't going to solve actual problems. That doesn't tell me anything about the candidate's backbone. It just tells me she wants attention.

The Clintons are not "cute." They're power-hungry. Bill Clinton was a pretty good politician and made it through his 8 years with a lot of points in his favor. But he also let a lot of huge national and global problems fester. He's no hero.

There's no reason to believe Hillary will do any better. She seems genuine, intelligent and tough one moment, and then like a pandering fool the next. I don't know who she is other than somebody trying to claw her way to the top. I don't know what she really stands for.

American is severely screwed up. We owe other countries nearly $10 trillion and we have no means to pay it back (we can barely pay the interest). Our middle class is shrinking and getting outsourced and offshored. In many places, houses cost over 3 times what they did 10 years ago. The average American family has $9,000 in debt.

China is amassing an enormous army, Iran is developing nukes, Russia is going cold again, and the EU is kicking the U.S. dollar's ass.

We don't need this Tony Soprano shit.
