Okay, it's official, I'm not voting for Hillary Clinton come the Democratic primary. Maybe this was the case all along, but now the deal is sealed. The reason? Her supporters have decided to use Celine Dion's "You and I" as their official theme song.
Talk about pandering and playing it safe. Why not just go with some muzak? This is an affront to all people with even remotely sophisticated musical tastes. And Celine is French-Canadian, too. Good lord, this shows a serious lack of judgment. I can only hope that the website has merely been hacked, and that it's all a crazy mix-up. Celine Dion might be an automatic disqualifier for the general election, too, but we've yet to hear which Charlie Daniels or Kenny Rogers track Fred Thompson will select as his inspirational background music.
And yes, this 'Sopranos' parody starring Bill and Hill that doesn't quite reveal the song choice was, I admit, pretty funny:
UPDATE: It turns out that the Celine song was originally written for an Air Canada television commercial. Seriously. So vote for Hillary and fly Air Canada!

1. Hillary's theme song should be "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT"
Hillary is Scary at 4:54PM on Jun 19th 2007
2. Clinton's theme song should be "Oops, I did it again". Her first stint as 'President' sucked, so I can't see THIS stint at the White House to be an improvement. We're in serious trouble if this Witch gets elected. Again.

3. GO RUDY! GO RUDY! GO RUDY!! There is only ONCE choice for President of the United States! And that's Rudy Giuliani! :)
Go Rudy! at 4:59PM on Jun 19th 2007
4. Celine Dion is the most surprising choice.
Hillary looks like a little bourgeoise from Orleans, Bordeaux or ...Quebec and this confirms it!
There are so many songs, music and lyrics inspiring! Celine Dion is like eating a bar of soap!

7. We need a woman to lead us now. We have too much testosterone in politics right now. Men think with the wrong part of their body. A women thinks with her heart and her mind. Hillary is a brillant woman. She can definately make some good changes that are fair for all of the people, rich or poor. Men in politics put laws into effect that are for the rich. That includes rich companies as well as rich people. Hillary will make a difference that will benefit all of us Americans.

8. She couldn't find a song from an American singer?

9. She makes me sick.
She should have subtitles that say "Look at us -- we're just like The Sopranos, above the law.
hee hee, aren't we just too cute you stupid Americans. Shut up or we'll have you whacked".
And Celine! She's a major bitchy, arrogant, abusive diva! I guess Hillary relates!
How revealing, Hillary.
Damn, she gets more sickening by the day. She should stop with the publicity bs and get back to work in New York, where she pretends to live!

10. If Hillary thinks with her heart then we're all in trouble. Her heart is cold and empty!
She's a pathetic lying, control freak, egomaniac!

11. I hate her as much as I hate George Bush.
She will NEVER be my president

12. Kelli, Hedi, Womenagainsthillary,
Thanks for commenting, but I notice from your return e-mail that you're really all the same person. You might try channeling your anti-Hillary vitriol into something more productive. Yoga perhaps?
