Comments on Whatever Scarlett Johansson, Part 2

Now *that's* class.

Creepiest robodial ever.

much as i love jack, i hear his voice, i still think one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

Clearly telling us what we already knew: Hill is the candidate of the aging baby-boomer ex-hippies.

seriously, why is hillary trotting out old actors.

Aaaaaaaand predictably the Obama supporters trot out the age card against anyone that's not googly-eyed about their candidate.

This campaign of unity sure is somethin'.

sven, why can't hillary connect to youth voters?

"Hi, I'm HRC, and only old fogies that want you to live in Fear support me".

Oh, yeah, that's an effective message ... for Obama.

is it because she trots out old actors? is jack not old? that isnt a value judgement, it is a documentable fact. jack is old, and not someone that inspires a group that hillary needs to get a chunk of.

maybe she can have ann coulter robo call for her. she supports hillary over mccain.

It reminds me of when Clinton/Gore won the first time around, and tried doing the Macarena. Anyone here old enough to remember that abortion?

Voting for Hill is like voting for my mom. She's from a different era, and the world has moved on. Do you think someone her age is going to really grasp tech issues like Net Neutrality?

Bellevue, why can't Obama connect with grownups?

"35 years of service" is a soundbite similar to Bush's mantra that Iraq had "Weapons of Mass Destruction." There is a grain of truth to it, but on the whole it is nothing but political hyperbole meant to mislead.

Expect the same type of political double-talk from Hillary as we got from Bush. She is using the same playbook.

Here's the deal, kids:

Feel free to play the age card. It loses your candidate some moral authority, but w'ev. The thing is: young people don't vote. They just don't. Relying on them in either the primaries or the general is a dumb move.

But we'll see tonight if you're right, or if the last thirty years of electoral politics is right.

he is connecting with adults. they are the ones that are voting for him. sven, when is the last time youth had a president worth voting for and could connect to in the last 30 years?

and loses moral authority? we are simply stating that we can't connect with the hillary campaign because of who endorses her. is jack not old?

@11 - actually, some people at the Mardi Gras parties on Saturday were doing the macarena ... it was comical to watch ...

I'd rather get a sexy call from Isaac Hayes

There is a weird, weird disconnect here. How can you spend your whole life crafting an artistic (merging on ´real´) persona of unmitigated snarkyness and irony as indelible as Nicholson´s has been for forty years, and then turn around and talk straight-faced for ANY political candidate?

There was an amazing reassesment of boomer ways and means a few years back - I don´t remember where - that traced some of the spirit of the Right´s populist/anti-intellectual appeal to Nicholson´s character stance in ´Five Easy Pieces´: to the manor born, rejecting the arts, classifying thinking people as ugly boobs, abusing waitstaff, and honoring the virtue of people (Karen Black, in this film) who just wanna watch TV.

Obama is truly the candidate of hope, in so many ways.

I´d go into the Clintons´ end-of-The Sopranos ad too, but I think it is self-explanatory and extremely revealing. This last-minute lie about Obama being anti-abortion further convinces me McCain would beat her, because it makes me consider, for a mad second, he might have my vote too.

Aren't you all missing the point? Who the fuck cares who Brad Pitt is voting for?

I don't give a good rip about any actor's political leanings. They aren't in our eye because of their brains or their political ability but because they are pretty and (some) can pretend to be other people.

This call is just plain creepy and it seems almost like he is whispering in my ear which is even creepier! EWWWW!

Good thing for HRC I would never vote for BHO!

Oh, and the age thing, who has a landline phone that is available for robocalls anymore????? Old people.

Bellevue:

when is the last time youth had a president worth voting for and could connect to in the last 30 years?

A circular argument. Kids didn't show up, ergo the candidates weren't appealing to teh kids. I was an early and enthusiastic Clinton supporter in '92- caucused for me, phone banked for him, knocked on doors for him. Way fucking more than I had for Dukakis. I was 23 years old.

You and I will find out tonight at Moe's if your Obama youthquake shows up at the polls. My prediction: Clinton sits w/ 100+ more committed (non-super) delegates than Obama after CA is tallied.

"...caucused for HIM..."

possibly it is circular, but havent you been paying attention to exit polling? havent you seen the increase in young voters?

100+ delegates.

grant cogswell for president!
