Hill-Dawg: Another Weird Campaign VideoJune 20, 2007
One day after Mike Gravel released
his insane campaign video, major Presidential contender Hillary (Hill-Dawg) Clinton comes out with this gem. The video is spoof on the final scene of the Sopranos HBO television series. Personally, I love the Sopranos and I understand the video. But I can't help thinking of my parents and the other half of America who don't watch the Sopranos. To them, this video must seem as esoteric as Gravel's video. What could the video mean to Joe Midwest who doesn't (probably can't afford) cable? A Presidential candidate and a former President go into a diner. They eat carrots and a menacing Italian man stares them down. They talk about music and the screen goes blank. Hmmmnn.
The craziest thing about this video is the reason it exists. It's a little promo piece to announce Hill-Dawg's new campaign song. If you look closely at the jukebox she's looking though, you'll see following songs go by: "Rock This Country" by Shania Twain, "I'm A Believer" by Smash Mouth and "Get Ready" by the Temptations - all perfectly logical campaign songs. Perhaps the best campaign song of all time is constantly playing in the background, "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. But what did Hillary ultimately choose? "You and I" by Celine Dion, a Canadian.
The current top contender for our campaign song is "
Breakfast In America" by Supertramp, but with the lyric "girlfriend" being replaced by the phrase "Iraqi War".

I used to like Hilary until you told me about her campaign song choice. As if there weren't enough reasons to hate Celine - have we forgotten her insanity after Katrina? Come on, Hil-Dawg. Get in touch with your people!
