Slog - Comments on Whilst Following My Foe's Every Move http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/whilst_following_my_foes_every_move Hillary Clinton, seen here begging for Hannah Montana tickets on the CMT Music Awards. How could this photo (and its redundant Hillary campaign sticker on the laptop) be any creepier? Add this quote: "They're not for me. Bill's a huge fan." To be fair, Obama embarrassed himself in the award show's opening skit as well with similar begging while on the phone with Miley Cyrus... "Four words: Treasury Secretary Hannah Montana." Guh. McCain begged, too. No Kucinich cameo in cowboy duds, sadly. Why was I watching this? I had designs on doing a Line Out post on Billy Ray...

Great... so now Bill's a pedophile? That's pretty disgusting. Someone please end this trainwreck.

Of course, calling the CMT Awards a "conservative pop-country cockwipe-fest" is a much better example of asshole elitism than anything Obama can do.

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:35:08 -0800 Comment by Fnarf The implied pedophilia is lots of fun, but what we're really seeing here is Hillary reaming out some redneck a-hole for votes. In the past few days she's turned into a whisky-swiggin', bible-thumpin', country-music-lovin' Good Ol' Boy.

I expect to hear her saying "git 'er done" any minute now.

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:51:00 -0800 Comment by elenchos See, to understand this post, I would have to google Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus, and Rascal Flatts. Billy Ray Cyrus I was able to identify with the clues "country music" and "pop-country". Even so, I don't bother looking up more than two of the names dropped in a Slog post, so I guess I'll just have to keep scrolling rather than have any idea what you are talking about.

Same thing if you just say Lady Voles or Huskies or Sonics without saying which sport. Not going to bother looking that shit up dude.

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:54:56 -0800 Comment by Bob It's so cool to know that skinny, flaccid armed little chainsmoking hipsters still try to strengthen their tenuous grasp on coolness by dissing shitkicker music, music often enjoyed in drinking establishments whereby aforementioned skinnyboys would get their asses whipped ten ways from Sunday by pickup driving rednecks if they ever sneered their opinions in said joints.

Truth is, I can't stand country music either but save the low hanging fruit for your livejournals. Cowboy up.

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:29:01 -0800 Comment by PdxRitchie @4 Bob, pickup driving rednecks don't listen to Hannah Montana, Billy Ray Cyrus or Rascal Flatts. And it's certainly not shitkicking music. It's over produced pop with fiddle or steel guitar thrown in to make it sound "country".

So what was your "dissing" of hipsters supposed to do? Something about grasping?

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:59:16 -0800 Comment by Sam M. Seriously, @1 & @4: If you actually need me to point out the chasm that separates country music from CMT's fare, then you are welcome to believe that I am a skinny, flaccid-armed, chain-smoking hipster. The only lame thing I can cop to at this moment, sadly, is the Western-cut shirt I'm wearing.

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 22:23:03 -0800 Comment by Jesus is the Answer! I knew she was a lesbian, but now she has her depraved eyes on poor little Hannah Montana? No wonder Vince Foster killed himself.

(He was found with his underwear on backwards you know. That's because Hillary used to "peg" him, and that made for easy access)

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 22:52:18 -0800 Comment by Jessica @10: Sadly, that's what I read at first, too. But the CMT awards definitely out-creep the idea of Sam following Poe around the hill.

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 22:57:37 -0800 Comment by Andrew God, I am getting sick to my stomach.. Who had this stupid idea of starting this campaign season back in, when was it, November 2006? Whoever had that idea we need to find take outside and beat to death with baseball bats.

And Hillary's new slogan "Git 'er done!!"

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 04:21:39 -0800 Comment by Fnarf Rednecks DO listen to the glossy country stuff. Real country is as extinct as sunshine pop or real soul. CMT music is simply pop music for white people now; it sounds like glossy pop because it IS glossy pop. It performs the same function in society that The Cars, Debbie Boone, or John Mellencamp performed 25 years ago.

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:46:07 -0800 Comment by Fnarf Yes, the Cars. Pop music, you know? MTV, before they showed black people? The people who listen to country today are the white people who left MTV when black music started sounding like hip hop.
