Slog - Comments on I'll Say One Thing for Hillary Clinton... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/ill_say_one_thing_for_hillary_clinton She succeeded, with her quasi-victory rally in New York on Tuesday, in getting Tina Turner's "Simply the Best" completely stuck in my head. Clinton introduced her new valedictory theme song after her speech ended Tuesday night, it rattled around in my brain all day on Wednesday, and then this morning I woke up with it playing on repeat in the soundtrack of my mind. So naturally I bought it off I-Tunes and listened to it a little more in an attempt to satiate whatever unmet Tina Turner desire Clinton had managed to trigger. Which reminds me of one of the...

This was Kerry's theme song in 04. Like that worked. I also heard it played when Theresa was at SCCC. Ugh.

Tina Turner, Celine Dion, who are these fucking people?

Examples of being rough:
Bush, versus Dukakis.
Kennedy, versus Nixon.
Give 'em hell Harry.
LBJ. Always.
FDR. He promised to not send our boys overseas, remember?
T Jefferson, who paid people to pretend to be reporters to plant fake scandals about the Federalists.
Obama, in his litigation to knock off the ballot the black former State Senator Alice Palmer and the other black Democratic candidates opposing him for state senate -- leaving the Democratic voters in his 80% Democratic district with no one to vote for except him!
(Legal, yes. Soft, no. Rough, yes.)
Obama's top aide Axelrod, consulting to the Daley machien in Chicago for many years including its chosen team members such as Obama.

Nothing HRC has done is overly rough compared to successful politicians.

Examples of not being rough:

Dukakis, versus Bush.
Kerry, versus Bush.

HRC failing to concede on Tuesday and conceding instead on Friday despite all the moaning and whining, is not rough.

Fighting for MI and FL via established rules for appeals, despite all the moaning and whining, is not rough.

Instead of unsupported opion laden chit chat like this, how about some real news, like how Obama today is causing the DNC to stop taking lobbyist money?

That's real change, or a good step forward. Exactly the kind of specific thing we want. Very awesome.

Is he next going to say all his endorsers have to stop taking lobbyist money?

'twould be all the more awesome.

At the end of his speech, having succeeded only in boring everybody half to death, he puts on this song and marches triumphantly out the door. Then when the perplexed host gets up and turns the stereo off, he comes back through the door furious that she cut off his exit prematurely. Hmm.

I think this is the song. Am I misremembering?

The end of Hillary is the end of American egomania. I hope.

The age of Obama is the age of American humility. I hope.

Besides that, I adore Tina, but the Irma Thomas version is better.

Petty's "Won't Back Down."

Some bullshit Celine Dion tune was her earlier campaign song. They have their iPod set on SUCK.
