A Progressive Campaign Shmear.
Hillary's shelling out quarters for you to pick her top jukebox jam.
You've got to admit: girl's got some pipes!
We all love a good song, and maybe you also love to imagine running out onto a stage with a crowd pumper blasting in the background. You look upon the people and the lights, inhale a breath of confidence getting ready for your Bonzo drum solo, but instead you blurt out, "Ladies and Gentleman, the time is now! I am ready to ride the wave as the nation's president..." Well folks, the nation needs YOU. Let's help Hillary pick out her campain song. We all know the power of a good song; and that quintessential song could give Hillary a cooler jig of a dance- something way cooler than Karl Rove, wannabe motherfucka. The choices are:
City of Blinding Lights- U2; Suddenly I See- KC Tunstall; I'm a Believer- Smashmouth (EWW); Get Ready- The Tempations; Ready to Run- Dixie Chicks; Rock This Country- Shania Twain; Right Here Right Now- Jesus Jones; I'll Take You There- The Staple Singers
So which song will you pick to help Hillary Clinton muster up feelings of confidence and excitement as she makes her entrance onto a number of America's stages; or rather which one won't piss you off too much as her commercial cuts in during House? God I love that show.
A few comments on her choices:
U2- always a safe bet, definitely patriotic since Bono has that leather jacket with the interior lining of a puff-painted American flag; KC Tunstall- KC whatta?; Smashmouth- are you serious? If you workin' with that, you should have chosen Chumbawumba, but I have heard they are tubthumping anarchists; Temptations- Dude, we know you are a girl already so chill with the girl power before it makes girls and guys vomit; Dixie Chicks- ol' Hill has got some balls picking the Dixie Chicks, it doesn't get more anti-George W. with that, well for country music; Shania no thanks; Jesus Jones YES! my pick, plus anything with Jesus will help with the Bible Belt; I'll Take You There save that for the cruise line commercials, we need something with a quick punch at the intro!
I've only got to say power to the people. Hillary I really appreciate you asking for my opinion, just when I thought Obama's twitter badge was cool. In a time when the next season of Real World will be casted by Internet votes, I say why not let the people help choose your campaign jam and path? I mean it only makes sense to give us what we want. I say let's just keep voting on the small things, so when it's time for your parts to equal a sum, you won't receive an ERROR... since we made you! Kick it Hillary!
Get on it and pick. Listen and vote here:
On second thought...
Plus, "Get Ready" has a more fitting intro for Hillary:
I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do. (You're alright)
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real, I say that you do. (You're outta sight)
So, fee-fi-fo-fum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come.
No need to lead, we can do that
Without a doubt you guys find the coolest shit on the internet. The Temptations, count it.

Man...think how fuckin' cool it would be if she had that entire list, then for some inexplicable reason she snuck in "Welcome to the Terrordome" on there without any explanation.
Welcome to the Terrordome
I did notice that they don't show how many votes each song has received. They probably aren't even tracking this. They're just going to pick the song her campaign team wants, i.e. the one that receives the best feedback from the press.
By the way, I just told the girl at Supercuts about Hillary's list of theme songs. She said she doesn't really see Hillary having much rhythm, but Bill probably has lots of rhythm from gyrating those hips with those interns, but I didn't hear that from her.

In the video, he also mentions that, in his spare time, he likes to "tear the tops off of small animals." No lie.
You may remember MC Rove as the deputy chief of staff accused of leaking the identity of a CIA operative to Time magazine.
Two - That musical selection. Is this the best she can do? I agree that Jesus Jones is the best of the lot, but c'mon.
