Suddenly I Hear

Posted: Monday, June 25, 2007 4:51 PM by Countdown

Might Hillary be ditching Celine Dion already? Not a bar of the French Canadian crooner's "You and I" could be heard at last night's campaign event for Senator Clinton in Manhattan. Instead, loudspeakers were blaring another (far more catchy) tune from the pre-approved list Mrs. Clinton's campaign had offered in its contest: KT Tunstall's "Suddenly I See." This helpful tip to the RNC's opposition research staff: Ms. Tunstall is Scottish.

P.S. Does this mean we get a new Sopranos spoof?

How about "Bravebottom", where the Scottish Patriotess, Hillia Hodham, takes out "Shortshanks" King Georgie the Dub, and his Toady "Dick Shiny" by drawing and quartering and eighthing and sixteenththing and thirtyseconding them on a rack upholstered in scabby-infested rotting sheep hides. All that while suffering from gas induced by a helping of Haggis from an old Hodham family recipe, replete with thistles, ewe eyes, ram oysters, fermented oatmeal, newt tongues, and toad stool. Nobody would care what the music was with all that going on. In theaters with Smell-O-Vision, soon!

Was the Star Spangled Banner written by an American?

OMG Steve, you knocked me out of my chair yet again. But I'll pass on the Smell-O-Vision - p.u.

Yikes! even "God Bless America" was written by an immigrant. Maybe the RNC can provide her with an approved list of politically correct composers/artists.

Excellent synopsis of the previous outrageous performances of this malicious, anorexic, NeoConJob gas bag.

Enjoy. I won't be watching.

OK More reading folks:

Rupert Murdock paid NO TAXES at a time when News Corps (including Faux News) raked in 9.4 BILLION in profits. He took advantage of a loophole in a law that allowed expanding companies to defer taxes.

It's a long article with lots of additional information.

Hillary Clinton (no Roddem) is by default our next and first woman President. All the chatter about her "theme song" is not going to change the facts. Presidents are bought by the big three and the bidding is now in its final stages. The Republican party cannot win the next elections. The big three need a Democrat to continue their work and the only Democrat capable of that is Hillary.

Thank you, Comrade's In Arms. Just wait until the Republicans start naming their tunes. The stuff will come skyrocketing out of my Sagittal Suture!

Sue, I won't be watching Coulter-geist either. Shame on Chris Matthews for giving her air-time.

Steve in Cedar Falls, IA, that's a hell of a visual image you present! :) Have you sent this to the Clinton campaing yet? I'd watch that over another SOPRANOS spoof any day!!

Maybe during the rest of the debates, each candidate can enter the stage to his/her theme song...maybe even have one mega debate, with both the Dems and Reps on stage together, featuring nothing but their theme songs and Sopranos spoofs...the candidates can try out three theme songs each, and in true American Idol fashion, we the people can vote for each candidate's theme song...all theme songs, all the time...better than listening to all their empty promises...

I agree with Keith that Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing ” would be a no brainer. I suggested on Hillary’s site Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”.

But I do have THE perfect song for the McCain campaign–the Bee Gee’s “Stayin’ Alive”.

Ooh, and Fred Thompson–3-Dog Night’s “Jeremiah was a Bullfrog” because he looks like a old bullfrog.

If we the people don't put a check on the people running our country, Bush and company we might have seen our last elected president the way things have been going they might just that there won't be any elections until the war ends. Nobody called them on anything yet.

Sue, count me in as another who WON'T be watching Hardball tonight. I'm going XMAS shopping. Chris Matthews, you should ask Coulter if she believes Democrats are illegal aliens. I get the impression that if she had her way, all "libs" would be thrown out of the country, being how stupid we all are according to her. An unbelievably mean-spirited hateful "compassionate conservative" that one is. Just like most of 'em who are on the air waves these days. But I'm sure Matthews will get a kick out of her. Unreal.

Steve, we can only hope they pull something similar to Reagan choosing Springsteen's "Born in the USA", which is actually a very desperate song about no opportunities for a man coming back from Vietnam.

Ann Coulter. The Paris Hilton of the Republican Party.

Steve Turner Cedar Falls Iowa (Sent Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:36 AM)

Yes, Linda, shame on Chris Matthews. His "true" alliegance to the NeoConJobs is showing. That's why he keeps reminding us that he worked for a Democrat oh so many years ago - to add to the pretense.

Hardball? Should be called "Softball". Or "I have No Balls". Matthews is a Washington Beltway Boy bought and paid for as all their talking heads are. I refuse to watch his BS show. I'm afraid of damaging my new HDTV by throwing things at it hoping they'll go thru the screen, hit him in the head, and wake him up from his Repugnikant coma.

Sue, West Allis, Wisconsin (Sent Tuesday, June 26, 2007 10:26 AM)

Ya know, if Chris Matthews actually had a real Republican on his show to actually discuss the issues, it would be fine. Instead, he resorts to having a person that only hates, hates, hates, everything and everybody that disagrees with her, or more to the point, the Bush administration and his policies.

There is absolutely no amount of courtesy, respect, etc., for anybody. She calls herself a Christian-repeatedly-yet does nothing that is anything Christ like. And this woman, who as far as I know has never been married, feels that she has the right to question widows of September 11-the same September 11 that her political affiliation has taken extreme advantage of. No hyprocrisy there. I wonder how she and Rudy get along.

There are numerous things that I don't like about this administration. Okay, despise. But having someone like her represent a whole political group, does them no favors whatsoever.

PEACE!

Jamie - As I said on a previous thread, my Coulter on Softball problem is that he just coos over her like a love sick puppy and doesn't give a full hour of his show to someone from the other side. Michael Moore, for instance.

Sue, West Allis, Wisconsin (Sent Tuesday, June 26, 2007 6:22 PM)

George - Good "candidate theme song” idea for the debates!!

I'm afraid the republicans would all be forced to select and sing the same song, "If I Only Had a Brain" (add in Sue’s suggestions – courage and heart!!)

Judging by how Disney (that "fair and balanced” media whore) behaves, and moderates its ABC network, to include ten television stations and 66 radio stations in the United States, I'm "sure" they would gladly give the thumbs up!!

Did I read someone label the media as the "liberal media" (again) today? Well just call Disney!! They can, have and will yank anything from being aired within seconds of a call from the GOP, just as they did with the documentary profiling "Saint Ronald Reagan"!!

I guess it wasn't so "pretty", better referred to as THE TRUTH!!

If it weren't for Disneyland, I'd boycott EVERYTHING they own!!

While Dick Cheney is not running, he should be -- from an angry mob with torches and pitchforks! His theme song is obvious from his presumption: MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This!"

Pam (11:42) I find it very interesting that just several years ago the "formal christian" political commitees were calling for and successfully implementing a ban on Disney products and films. Wonder if this new position of Disney's is a direct result of that? That all happened under Eisner's reign.
