Is Hillary Dead? Is America Deaf?

By James Poniewozik | @poniewozik | June 19, 2007 | +

Ana Marie beat me to a post at Swampland, but politically uninvolved readers may want to head to HillaryClinton.com to see Hill and Bill reprising the Sopranos’ final scene to announce the winner of her campaign-song contest.

You may commence reading way too much into the symbolism of the video now. Personally, I always pegged Johnny Sack as a Republican.

As for the song-contest winner (SPOILER ALERT!), it’s… Celine Dion’s You and I. Proving that there is indeed no difference between politics and American Idol.

This reminded me of a season 3 Sopranos episode (“Amour Fou”) where Carmela and friends are complaining about their husbands’ infidelities:

Rosalie Aprile: It’s not just us. The president of the United States, for crying out loud? I mean, look what his wife had to put up with the blow jobs and the stained dress.

Angie Bonpensiero: Hillary Clinton? I can’t stand that woman.

Rosalie: I don’t know. Maybe we could all take a page from her book.

Carmela: What, to be humiliated in public and then walk around smiling all the time? That is so false. I would dig a hole, I would climb into it and I would not come out.

Rosalie: All I know is she stuck by him and put up with the bullsh*t and in the end what did she do? She set up her own little thing.

Gabriella Dante: She did. She took all that negative sh*t he gave her, spun it into gold. You gotta give her credit.

Carmela: That’s true, isn’t it? She’s a role model for all of us.

Talking about “The Sopranos” finale, which I will see when I finsih watching the series proper, no other finale for me was a bad as the “Quantum Leap” end, which-ten year spoiler alert-had Sam never able to leap back home.

I’m just hoping they didn’t get permission from the producers so they can get sued (smile). Wouldn’t that be beautiful!

Hillary’s “Theme Song” = a song written by a French-Canadian, first used as a “Theme Song” by AIR CANADA?

Heck, if she wanted a song written by a foreigner used as a theme by a foreign airline, she could have had our (and Qantas’) “I Still Call Australia Home”…

Is this an American trend? Are ALL the candidates now going to choose their favourite foreign airline theme-songs? How wack is that?!?
