Hillary Cedes Hipster Vote, Parodies The Sopranos

The first major primary of the 2008 election season is over, and the results are in: a plurality of voters have selected Celine Dion's "You and I" as Candidate Clinton's official campaign song. A victory for populism, perhaps, but a sound defeat for our ears. Then again, the pickings were pretty slim. We just feel bad for those campaign workers who potentially could be forced to listen to "You and I" on continuous loop from now until next November. Still, it has to be better than Smashmouth, right?

So, does this mean she's dead?

You didn't even put the Sopranos-esque video to introduce the song? That's the only good thing about the whole thing...

Boy, looks like she's gettin' real good at scoring points and making friends. Does this honestly look like presidential material to anyone in their right mind?

The choice sucked, but the prologue video with Bill was amusing.

Goddamit. I was trying to get Guns n' Roses Rocket Queen. It would have been perfect, plus, imagine all the people who would suddenly think Hillary actually kinda kicked ass, as I would have done.
Oh well. I guess I will still have to vote for Batman. Unless Barrack or John Edwards chooses to go with Girls, Girls, Girls by the Crue.

I hope that guy who stares them down at the booth goes into the bathroom, comes out, and sticks a snuke right up her snizz.

Also I would only vote for Hillary if it meant that Bill became President again, and also if it meant that Hillary didn't become President.

I recognized that diner instantly. It's the Mount Kisco Coach Diner in Mount Kisco, NY.

Brought back a lot of memories.

This is pure cheese. If she wins even a single vote because of this nonsense I'm going to have to rethink my pledge of allegiance.
