| Hillary Clinton Considers Outsourcing Campaign Song to Irish, Canadians |
| 2007-05-17 |
| Jim Geraghty, National Review Well, Hillary Clinton is looking for a campaign song. The nominations: * City of Blinding Lights - U2 * Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall * I'm a Believer - Smash Mouth * Get Ready - The Temptations * Ready to Run - Dixie Chicks * Rock This Country! - Shania Twain * Beautiful Day - U2 * Right Here, Right Now - Jesus Jones Snarky response number one: Is this the only way you'll see the word "Jesus" in a Democratic primary? Snarky response number two: The Dixie Chicks. There's a shock. Snarky response number three: The very first commenter on her web site suggests John Lennon's "Imagine." Hmmm. A tribute to post-nationalism, (“imagine there’s no countries”) atheism (“no religion too”) and communism and socialism (“no possessions”). Perfect. To her credit, she does re-use footage of her being off-key singing the National Anthem, and says, "I promise I won't sing it in public... unless I win!" It's not often we see self-mockery from Hillary. I can think of a couple others: * Mambo #5 - Lou Bega ("A little bit of Monica . . .") * Witchy Woman - Eagles Add your own suggestions in the combox. |
