The Hillary Ad Is Disgraceful

What are people saying?

   I hope Hillary doesn’t happen to this country.

   Sorry Loren, I usually agree with you but I think you are 100% wrong on this. She did not steal the show, she spoofed it and it was funny and extremely clever as far as I am concerned. She is often criticized as being “robotic and too serious”. She usued this to show that she has a sense of humor and is a regular preson. 99.9% of the critiques on this ad were positive and I loved it. As far as Bill goes, most American’s relate to him and the comment after picking up a carrot stick “What? No onion rings?” is true to life. I give the ad 2 thumbs up and disagree with you on all counts.

   Loren,

   Bill has to play the two-bit actor, now.

   That was the deal, right?

   I think you’re over-reacting, and Tony didn’t get whacked, the screen went black.

   So that’s even scarier for all you Hillary-phobes out there ( it means anything could happen, ooh).

   Relax, she doesn’t have a chance of winning the presidency, unless Rupert buys it for her.

   Having Josh as back-up was visually effective.

   I really liked it when he would make facial expressions in response to your points.

   It would be better if he disagreed sometimes.

   I like the two-day beard look, very sexy.

   I think you ought to expand to a back-up group, and have like a whole chorus of facial commentary behind you.

   That would be funny.;-)

   Ya, i agree 110%.

   I REALLY hate it when people try to act hip. It’s pathetic. Ever see the old guy at the bar who has a few too many drinks and then hits the dance floor in an attempt to hook up with someone less than half his age??? That’s what Hilary just did.

   Now, I don’t mind someone NOT being stiff, but there is a way to do it without hurting yourself. Bill played a sax years ago on stage…that was good enough. He didn’t pick up a fucking hot pink guitar and try to shred some van halen…he played jazz with a pair of shades…that was enough.

   I think the worst part about it is that it actually insults people’s intelligence.

   Skye,

   The onion rings line was copied directly from The Sopranos episode. Will a Hillary presidency merely consist of employing “been there done that” ideas for new and more complex issues? How great will it be to watch her worm and spin her way in and out of having a Canadian win her moronic contest?

   Vince,

   We disagree on plenty…but definitely not about this.

   Both Hillary and Bill are pathetically poor reflections on who is supposed to be running our country, a statement perfectly defended by the complete and utter lack of integrity and discretion that resulted in two of the most powerful people in this country are seen participating in a meaningless advertisement about crime. Very clever.

   Josh,

   I wasn’t trying to be a smartass toward you personally.

   My apologies if it came off that way.

   I’ve never seen a single episode of The Sopranos, so maybe the commercial didn’t have the visceral effect on me that it would on someone who followed the show.

   Frankly, I don’t pay much attention to commercials, TV, or Bill and Hillary anyway.

   Thanks.

   You’ll never guess where I accidently found myself downtown yesterday…I was looking for you.

   What exactly does “I W NY” mean?

   Josh,

   You must have been on Christopher St.

   Don’t ask me about any of these gay slogans, gays always think I’m either a cop or an aging hustler.;-)

   There is a guy that hangs out in the Village who looks like me.

   His name is “Tex”.

   You’ll know it’s him when he walks up to you and does his little number.;-)

    My father is a wonderful man albeit a liberal commie. I also take offense at you calling me a gay basher. By the way your spelling and grammar are both atrocious.

    Ah, well not that it matters since 1) I can’t vote in the US 2) the two-party system swallows all in its destructive path of demagogy, but… Libertarian Ron Paul is running for 08 and what I’ve seen from him so far is as close as to the Constitution and what the Founding Fathers hand in mind as a politician in 2008 can be. I’d vote for him

    Apologies for the terrible grammar in the above comment.

    Stephan,

    Totally agree with you about the drawbacks of the two-party system as well as your support for Ron Paul. Unfortunately, he has no chance of winning anything in the current dumbed down-name recognition-focus on fundraising-mindlessly repeat talking points political age that our sophisticated country has created, enabled and financially sustained.

    That, and Ron Paul is a loon.

    Oh and I thought the Hillary ad was kind of cute. It was not nearly as demeaning to the office as, say, getting caught doing obscene things to an intern with a cigar would be.

    That said, I think electing Hillary would be a complete disaster for the country. I also think there’s a 30-40% chance of it happening. Some put that number quite a bit higher.

    Grandpa,

    Loren is not a gay basher.

    I’m a liberal gay loon, and Loren says I’m the ‘official’ gay spokesperson here.

    I think you’re way out of line.

    I’ll vouch for Vince being a liberal gay loon. He’s telling the truth.
