Tell Me This Is A Joke

It's official. The terrorists have won.

Oh. The pain.

I may change my name to QuestionHillary4U&Me...

No We Can't, Hillary, No We Can't...

Ohh man, her campaign did not pay for that production did they?

wow.

With this video she's locked up the flamboyantly gay dancer vote. Now for everyone else...

On the plus side, if Hil ever gets her own talk show she's got a great intro...

It's not a campaign production, but I also don't think it's a joke.

Someone (more than a few someones, by the look of the video) thinks that's an effective way to back their candidate.

Admit it... the song's stuck in your head now. But not in a good way.

Wow. Did you have to show that? I'm still digesting my lunch you know.

This was made by the Obama campaign. Genius... the freshest in new-school viral marketing.

Wait till you see the McCain stuff they got lined up.

Ohgodohgodohgodohgod make it stop make it stop make it stop.

On the plus side, I suppose this video could go all viral. But in less of a "Yes We Can" way and more of a "Two Girls One Cup" way.

Shark.

Jumped.

Cubiclewarrier,

I think 2 girls 1 cup is much more tolerable.

Shame on the witless Machiavelli who produced this. I think its a terribly cynical ploy to bring her campaign down for good

We're spreading awareness like never befooooooooore...

It reminds me of A Mighty Wind. Next there'll be a video of Hil and Bill singing A Kiss At The End of the Rainbow.

That makes me want to run over someone with my car.

And was the guitar player also playing the drums in some shots? Can the Bad Session Players For the Truth please conduct an investigation?

Hmm... this is the end of Hillary's campaign. It brings a tear to my eye. It's much like the ending to Braveheart.

This would do well followed up by a Rickroll.

There's a place that is magical and full of rain

But now it needs help because it is in pain

Protecting the earth is a mighty big chore

We're spreading awareness like never before!

Getting Hill with Kids is here!

And on a side note, Ana, how in god's name did you come across this? Don't tell me you went looking around for it? Put down the search and pick up a cocktail, you will do us less harm.

USA, USA, USA!!!!

Well in that case Karma, have you seen the new Obama Video ?

Where do you think she got it? Andrew Sullivan's website (a.k.a. Hillary Haters R Us). Andrew and his husband clearly put this together in order to do in Hillary once and for all.

The video is actually made by Hillary supporter Gene Wang. The New York Times reported on this months ago:

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/08/29/ceo-croons-for-prospective-president-music-video-to-follow/

Eh - I'd rather jab a fork in my skull than ever be exposed to that again. Sure it plays well with the Branson, Missouri crowd though...

This would have been schmaltzy at an Up With People! concert in 1981.

That's an obvious attempt at pandering to the really, really white vote.

This has 9000 views on YouTube.

It was put up last September.

It's got nothing to do with the campaign.

And is today really the day to be piling on?

Thanks Claudius. I stuck it through to the bitter end after turning down the sound to see the credits. I tried to search it out on YouTube, but couldn't find it. I did a Google search on Gene Wang, but quit before the NYT entry popped up.

Everyone seemed quick to assume it was from her campaign, but maybe I misunderstood the comments.

To judge by her ridiculous posts (that's what, two now picking on stupid videos, one of them several months old and completely unconnected to the campaign?) belittling the Hillary campaign, Cox is probably angling for a few more invites to Matthews' shows. They're apparently on about the same wavelength, but foolish and addled in slightly different ways. Gives the empty headed nastiness a little variety.

It's clear that they are in fact targetting youth. Anyone over forty would recognize the blatant ripoff af the Jackson's ABC's.

Hey, Hillary supporters: Your butthurt is showing.

jayackroyd, thanks for the context (or lack, thereof), of the video and its purported relevance to the current campaign.

In Hillary's defense, this is only the second worst amateur song to hit the internets this campaign.

This is two in a row that first surfaced on Wonkette and then got plugged here within minutes. Either AMC is on the same e-mail list as Wonkette, or she's still cruising her old stomping grounds for good stuff.

So yes, I cringe, and I think it's a ridiculous, -RIDICULOUS- video. It's like the Republican rapper from the '92 convention. But I agree fully with jayackroyd. These videos deserve at the very least a 10-second vetting before being forwarded. Funny shlock out of context works great at Wonkette; not so much at Time.

Who knew that Hillary's Chinese connections were such musical geniuses?

Wait till you see the McCain stuff they got lined up.

Here's a McCain video that was rattling around the intertubes a few days ago. Dunno if it was linked here or not.

Ms Cox's sneering Heather act makes me sick.
Every day.
Can't Time magazine find someone to do this job who actually gives a crap?

No Adults Allowed indeed:

thank you Mr. Show,

Jesus Christ! That convinced me that my vote for Obama was the right thing. What was that person drinking when he (or she) came up with the idea for that? I couldn't even watch the whole thing, I had to stop less than halfway due to an excess of smarminess. Iiiiccckkk...

So it sucked. But two of the girl dancers were teh hawt so it's not a total loss.

Is this some sort of revenge by the Clinton campaign?

Is this what we'd be subjected to as a inaugeration party?

Would attendence be mandated as part of her universal health care program?

My god, this woman must be stopped.....

Flashback to Electric Company meets Give A Hoot, Don't Pollute, meets "Dyn-o-mite." Off by thirty years...

Ana Marie Cox is too old to be hip.

Sorry!

(to be fair, I never was)

Ana Marie Cox is too old to be hip.

No, she's too old, and in too responsible a position, to be pretending that videos like this deserve even passing mention. But then, she's too old to regale us with tales of which bands she likes and dislikes, too, but she does so, anyway. She seems to think she's still in college, where giggling about "cool" is important. Maybe those were the good old days for her, and she finds life as a responsible adult a little more challenging than she would like. If that's so, she should do us a favor and retreat to the world of Wonkette, where she could sit around all day in her underwear recovering from her latest hangover, every once in a while to lurch over to the keyboard to display her razor wit by typing out a few words about a s s f u c k i n g. It might not pay very well, but it was easy, and the standards were lower than they are even at Time.

speaking of underwear, martin, yours sure seem to be in a knot.

WHOM DID THAT TO US??????

(Ginny, your forgot ZOOM!!)

AMC still thinks she's writing Wonkette and is the fresh, cool "kid" in DC media circles, when the Washington Post was chronicling her adventures in butt-effing. She doesn't understand her shark has jumped. It's like watching Florence Henderson trying to be "cool" on VH1. Sort of sad, actually.

i can't wait till joe klein comes out with a post of how Hillary has been victamized by this video because he is really running out of excuses for her.

sorry joe but it is the truth

How interesting. It turns out that Cox is 35 years old. I challenge anyone to read her posts lately, in which she fixates on complete trivialities that are fit for nothing more than a high school gossip session just before the conversation turns to the really important stuff about who has "gone all the way," and interjects nonsense about which bands she hates! hates! hates!, and conclude that she's much over 20. I had personally thought she was in her late 20s and regretting every minute of it. But for chrissake, this stuff is coming from a 35 year old?. Where does Time find these people, and what does it do to them to make them behave like this?

OK, now the comments are getting a little cringe-worthy...

the clearest reason yet to vote for Obama.

Ease up on the hate Marty, just admit that this Hillary video was craptacular.

Is it a relevant substantive policy statement and in the grand scheme of this election does it mean anything? Of course not.

But it certainly is current from the context of the viral produced obama "yes we can video." That video has has been up on youtube for only a week, and at least two different links has over 3 million views.

She's hunting for the Motown-vote

Knock it off all you haters. This is a blog - it should be at least somewhat fun. There are pleeeeeenty of other places to go if you want to be inundated with dry repetitive analysis.

I hope this is as bad as it ever gets.
Perhaps Scoobey-doo or The Archies as a retro spokes-cartoon for all the hip kids out there?

It is sad but with Ms. Clinton's self-destruction, and the Obama-mania that seems to have gripped this sad nation, that which seemed impossible is now likely -- the Democrats will now nominate someone that will lose the election in November.
Amazing Batman, amazing.
