Hillary Clinton Considers Outsourcing Campaign Song to Irish, Canadians
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 theres 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
