Clinton family takes on Sopranos in announcing campaign song

WASHINGTON (CNN) — It’s not everyday the Clintons would want to be compared to the Sopranos.

But in a gimmick intended to drum up buzz for her campaign’s new theme song, Democratic White House hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton, and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, star in a new video that parodies the HBO mob show’s famously (or infamously) ambiguous final episode.

In the Web video, Bill and Hillary Clinton are seated in a busy diner as Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” plays in the background. The couple flips through the diner jukebox, looking over the nominees for the campaign song. The actor Vincent Curatola, who played Johnny “Sack” Sacramoni in the HBO series, makes a cameo appearance, walking by the table and suspiciously eyeing Hillary. Like Meadow Soprano in the final episode, Chelsea Clinton – not seen – is supposedly outside the diner parallel parking.

As Hillary decides on a song, Bill muses: “My money’s on Smashmouth.”

The video also pokes fun at Bill Clinton’s long-publicized struggle with weight. Hillary orders a basket of carrot sticks for the table, to which Bill responds, “No onion rings?”

The anticipation builds to when Hillary is about to announce the song contest winner, then the video abruptly cuts to black.

Watch the video here.

Sometimes We Demand Too Much Of The President

This White House link will show you all the college championship teams W posed with yesterday.

Even though it’s a great accomplishment for these folks and quite an honor to visit the White and blah blah blah .  .  . I would rather the president spend time on more pressing issues.  But if he or any other president doesn’t spend time with these champions for a photo-op, then the public will label him or her as being out of touch and yada yada yada.  I guess you lose either way.

This is a pic of him and the University of California Berkeley Mens Water Polo 2006 Championship Team.  I think they were the worst dressed folks there.
