I know the general consensus is that Johnny Sack planted a bomb in the jukebox, but I am more of the opinion that the ending means that we've seen all there is of Hil and Bill, and they they will spend the rest of their lives just repeating the same old shit, over and over and over again. I guess we'll all just keep guessing as to the real meaning. Was clever the way they worked in the Newt, Barak and W look-alikes as red herrings, though.

Mitt Romney tried to produce a similar video, but couldn't fit all of his wives into the booth

Wow. Bill is quite the jet setter and still has time to do stupid shit for Hill. He's still foxy in an unconventional way. I totally creamed when I saw him in person. As they say in Harlem, I'd let him get it.

I'm a little surprised the campaign went with a song by a Canadian. "You and I" was also the ad campaign song for Air Canada in 2004. Maybe Hillary likes their good health care system.

Maybe it's me, but Hil has a sexy voice. She can't read a line worth a damn, however.

Did anybody else catch on to the simmering sexual tension in this scene? The Clintons obviously fuck like rabbits. I'm surprised he didn't throw her down on the table while she shoved those carrot sticks up his sweet, sweet ass.

MollyMollyMolly is the kind of person who skims through a couple pages of Moby-Dick in the bookstore, then yells, "Why did everyone like this book so much?! It's just some dudes going whaling!"

Everyone in the store is annoyed, but also kind of sad for MollyMollyMolly.

I think the ad told us what the song is.

Apparently we like our leaders to be criminals, or at least we don't mind. Hilary has caught on to this and now she is openly inviting comparisons between herself and Tony Soprano. (Why did everyone like that show so much anyway? I never understood the appeal of watching a bunch of high-prole-nouveau-riche Jersey trash yell and curse at one another for an hour every week. It gave me a headache. Don't people spend good money on Ipods and Connecticut real estate to shield themselves from such unpleasantness?)

Still not as good as the one where Bill and Hillary are trying to dispose of the bowling ball bag containing the head of Vince Foster.

Q: Wasn't this song first commissioned by Air Canada for an ad campaign?

A: Yes. Yes it was.

Bizarre. Can't quite wrap my mind around it.

It is so clear that they hate each other.

And Bill's looking chub again.

Sure, the acting wasn't that great, but it was still cute. Especially with the carrot sticks bit.

Be grateful it wasn't from the Guiliani campaign. The suspicious guy would be Arab, and instead of the blackout, Guiliani would just get up and pummel him. Meanwhile outside, a black kid's attempt to parallel park would be interpreted as a hostile gesture by a nearby NYPD officer.

"You and I" by Celine Dion? I've never even heard that song, but if its sung by Celine I'm sure its v v irritating.

From "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" to this?

Ugh!

At least the war vote was a cynical political calculation. This looks like the work of a nerdy middle school HBO fan with Daddy's video camera.
