lighten up!

Oh, good, what a great new role model for America. So glad Hillary fancies herself as a sociopathic murderous organized crime boss in need of therapy.

Or is she comparing herself to David Chase, the person who's driven his fans bats over his refusal to make a decision on how to bring things to an end?

Most if not all of the upbeat, progressive songs currently considered "hip" were written by cannabis users.

She can't use a song like that now, not after her political prostitute of a husband waged his mendacious, pseudo-scientific campaign that tripled the national arrest rate of cannabis users.

It would look downright hypocritical for her reach out to the cannabis vaporizing community now.

And besides, I don't think any of those people would ever vote for a Clinton again, not after the way they were demonized and slandered by her husband's administration.

So forget Hillary ever having a hip, catchy, upbeat song for her campaign.

I'm still miffed about National Review claiming that the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" is the top conservative song.

Stylistically, the song is a tepid pile of crap (incidentally, "tepid pile of crap" is the the technical musical terminology for most Celine Dion's oevure). Lyrically, it ain't half bad for a campaign song. A bit heavy handed but not in a bombastic "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac sort of way.

As for the Soprano's parody, it was a surprisingly well executed attempt at grabbing the zeitgeist. It was meant to chip away at HilDog's stuffy image.

The only flaw was that the guy on his way to the men's room totally should have been James Carville. That would have guaranteed Hillary's election.

"Eve of Destruction"

I know, I know... the song itself sucks. But I voted for it and here is why... because it was the best CAMPAIGN song there. None of the others would have gone with the commercial selling of Hillary as president (sad, but inevitable fact of life in modern politics) as that one. So I gagged down my personal feelings about that sort of music and voted for the choice I believed would help her the most. Forgive me, but I would love to see her elected.

Getting Johnny Sac in the video was pretty good. Thanks for the link that let me bypass giving them my email.

Do you think Hillary realizes that aside from being impossible to listen to for more than 20 seconds, Celine is Canadian? Are there clues and hidden messages everywhere in this video, like the carrots representing the labor of illegal immigrants and the Canadian song representing globalization? :) Maybe the kids making out is contraceptives in the schools!

But overall, it kind of sucked.

it's a campaign song, and for a campaign song, it works. I hear you, you and I were meant to fly blah blah soaring music - that's what you look for in a campaign song.

I prefer pop punk, new wavey stuff and bands like Muse, but a good cheesy insufferable Celine song can still get me pumped up emotionally.

Who's gonna choose "What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?" as their campaign song? They've got my vote.

Al, maybe?

It was cute, it was funny, it was light-hearted.

Don't be so stuffy, Tim: there has to be room for amiably amusing campaign ads, and pieces. They don't all have to be brilliant, dazzling, the Rebirth of Wonder.

Richardson's ads are a good example of the light aproach. Too bad he's a lousy candidate.

With all the mega-dollars being raised by these campaigns, why can't they hire someone to actually write an original campaign song? That way we could avoid having to rehash some bit of pop culture that we have already endured being played to death during its heyday. The new song would have no associations, as others have pointed out, with people's memories that are, uh, un-campaign-worthy.

On the other hand, a candidate might garner some serious "nostalgia" votes if people wistfully recalled their first furtive teenage experiences with sex and drugs while hearing a campaign song.

If Hillary's embrace of the Iraq War hadn't already cemented her as a candidate completely lacking in judgment, then willingly comparing her family to the mafia should seal the deal. Sadly, it's a comparison that rings a bit too true.

What an embarrassment (and we haven't even gotten to Celine Dion yet).

Hillary simply has no chance to win, quite an accomplishment in a year when the Presidency is being handed to the Dems on a platter.

The Sopranos parody was funny.

The poor woman. She's a frigid, "masculine" humorless bitch. Then when she tries to show a fun side she's aspiring to be a "sociopathic murderous organized crime boss in need of therapy".

As for hating the song itself, did you miss the fact that her website visitors were asked to vote on the song? They picked it, not her.

Frankly given the current state of American democracy, the fact that anybody is still holding democratic elections for anything, including campaign songs, and sticking to the results should be inspiring us to parades in the streets instead of petty sniping.

I don't get the sarcasm Grieve. You want another Bush in office--keep it up.

Just like her presidency would be.

At least she'll get the Celine votes.

Celine's Canadian for Chrissake!

Senator Clinton voted to authorize force if Iraq didn't cooperate with the inspectors. Iraq cooperated, Bush invaded anyway. The vote to authorize force was, and still to this day is being abused by George W. Bush and company. I have never seen Clinton ever "embrace the Iraq war" as you put it. If you want to blame anyone for this war, blame the GOP.

As for your comment that she has "no chance of winning," I would like to know how you think there is anyone on either side of the isle who has the experiece, the preperation and the determination she has. Unless Al Gore runs, which he won't, Hillary can and will win.
