Bizarre Clintons as Sopranos ad

[Rainier Wolfcastle]

WTF? (http://hillaryclinton.com/?splash=1)

This seems like an odd strategy.

[Not One Of Us]

Damnit, Bill needs to be on TV more. He alone makes me chuckle.

[MatthewF]

Bizarre? Maybe. Brilliant? Yes.

Someone needs to dub it over with Deadwood style rants about onion rings and shit.

[Woolen Horde]

That thing's gone viral like crazy, which was probably the point. "Hey, the Clintons are pop culture hip!" is probably the meme, as opposed to "Hey, the Clintons are a crime family," which is what the die-hard Clinton haters will latch on to, but they were never going to vote for Hillary anyway.

Reportedly, the Sopranos actor doing the cameo in the parody said that Bill and Hillary were both big fans of the show. Bill was talking to him about all the different plots and characters over the show's history, as well as the ending.

I can't we believe they chose Celine Dion. Ugh. Not saying I was (or wasn't) going to vote for her before, but that dampens my enthusiam.

NPR had two critics(?) killing it this morning. One a political internet person (or something) the other an editor for The Onion.

I wonder how they got Bill and Hill in the same room? Green screen?

[Glenn]

Hillary trying to stare down Johnny Sack was funny. Everything else just reminded me why political ads are so lame.

"How about Baby Got Back?"
"Go to hell, Bill."

[Lizard_King]

Maybe I don't watch the Sopranos enough to find that funny. But I like her website.

[Bullhajj]

That was awesome. I bet Bill came up with it.

By the way, did you know that onion rings are an obvious metaphor for the vagina? (http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/11183.html)

It's an especially odd choice since Celine Dion is Canadian.

Bwhahah. Apparently from althouse's blog: "When we hear him say “No onion rings?,” the camera is on her, and Bill is off-screen, but at the bottom of the screen we see the carrot/phallus he’s holding toward her. Oh, yes, I know that Hillary supplying carrots is supposed to remind that Hillary will provide us with health care, that she’s “looking out for” us, but come on, they’re carrots! Everyone knows carrots are phallic symbols. But they’re cut up into little carrot sticks, you say? Just listen to yourself! I’m not going to point out everything."

I'd hope this was satire against feminists but...

Fear the carrots!

Actually, it's especially odd because it is universally known that she sucks. Picking a Canadian is probably a lot less controversial than picking someone from, say, a flagrant red state or something. It's probably the safest bet there is. I think Cheap Trick and the Hip just didn't return her calls in times.

Hillary could kick Johnny Sack's ass.

Which Cheap Trick song? "Surrender" ? "I Want You To Want Me"?

[Matthew Gallant]

"She's Tight"

[Lizard_King]

"She's Tight"

Fuck. Yeah.

[Harugon]

You know, it's like they want to remind us of Bill's strong influence behind Hillary, what with the phallic carrots and all. So if you're on the fence about her, but really liked Bill, maybe that will lock your vote in. I'm nearly convinced, but I'm still waiting to see if she can play any musical instruments.

[Midnight Son]

I didn't like the ending.

[Bill]

I didn't like the ending.

Stop denying that she was obviously shot by the man in the members only jacket. Face it, it's over. No more The Clintons.

Ann Althouse is a lunatic.
