My apologies if anyone else picked this up already.

Last year, Hillary's campaign created an ingenious video parodying the Season Finale of The Sopranos to announce her, well, less ingenious choice of a campaign song.

Vincent Curatola, "Johnny Sack" himself, appeared in this video.

Yes, yes, I know. I know how you all laughed at Gene Wang's dippy, loopy, sappy video from back last fall. You remember it, don't you? It was called "Hillary for you and me." No, check that. It was really called "Hillary4U&me" so that the title would look cooler. Or easier to text. Whatever.

Anyway, the absolutely greatest part of that song -- hell, the only great part -- was seeing the reactions of real live people when seeing it for the first time.

But wait! There's more!

Celine Dion has sold millions of records, but do you actually KNOW someone who bought one?

    See ABC, Political Radar, 'You and I' No More?,

    Less than 30 days before the critical Iowa caucuses, there's a shake-up in the Clinton presidential campaign.  Hillary Clinton and Celine Dion appear to be parting ways.
    For months, the soprano headlined Clinton's, D-N.Y., campaign appearances as Dion's "You and I" served as the former first lady's campaign theme song. ...
    ...on the trail these days, Big Head Todd and the Monsters are in and their "Blue Sky" is seemingly the campaign's favorite as the New York Senator enters and exits the stage.
    The Clinton camp had no response when pressed by ABC News to explain why the sudden change from chick-favorite Vegas-anchored Dion to the masculine, Colorado-native Monsters. ...

    This could be a titanic mistake on Hillary's part.

Nobody's talking about Hillary's super-lamo campaign song?  "You and I" by Celine Dion. Whoa! What were they thinking? So what's wrong with this song?

1. It's Celine Dion.

2. She's not an American.

3. She's FRENCH-Canadian.

    Does anyone find it interesting that although Barack O, John Ed, Bill Rich, Chris Dodd, and others will be coming to YEARLYKOS 2: TEH REMATCH, a certain

    Hillary Celine Dion Tony/Carmela Soprano Used-to-Be-Rodham Wife-of-Bill Clinton

    is apparently not coming? Whassup wid dat?

    Maybe her handlers have said she'll be "busy", but what more important does she have to do that weekend? Is she doing open heart surgery on Bill? Or selling her conscience on eBay? (Booooo eBay)

    If her blogmeister Peter Daou was dumb enough to say to Ms. not-Rodham, "You don't need to go to YearlyKos, they're losers who play with their Cheetos", maybe some of the feedback in this diary will make Daou scream and go "D'oh! Daou, you're a dummy!!"

    Well, Hill, if we're not good enough for you; then maybe baby you're not good enough for u.....

Senator Clinton, you are far - very, very far - from being my first choice for our presidential nominee. At best, you're my fourth choice. Fifth, if either Al Gore or Wes Clark were to enter the race. And that's only when I'm considering candidates who have a chance to win; I would definitely prefer Chris Dodd to you, for example, but he has about as much chance of winning the nomination as Tom Tancredo has of creating a welcome center for brown-skinned immigrants.

You are, for now, the front-runner in the race. (I repeat, for now.) And despite our difference on a number of issues, I've always kind of liked you. If someone can inspire such deep-seated, irrational hatred in wingnuts, they've got to be okay in my book.

I've always thought that, even though you've sold your soul to corporate interests and Beltway insiders for (likely ill-advised) political expediency, deep down you've got a good heart. And, when we need it the most, you will display good judgment.

Until now. Until this whole campaign theme song debacle.

Celine Dion?! Celine fucking Dion?!?!?

I'm sure most of you have seen the cute little Soprano's take off that the Clinton campaign put together regarding Hillary Clinton's campaign theme song, if not, you can see it here.

Okay, nice ad.  I like the bit about Chelsea parallel parking.

But when you go to the website to hear the winning song (here), you've got to be kidding me.

I’ve never seen an episode of the Sopranos but I’ve seen plenty of clips of that final scene in the restaurant. Great song in the background but I can see why folks were left scratching their head at that abrupt ending.

Several people have posted diaries with links to the Clinton campaign’s online contest, which gave us a chance to help pick the campaign’s theme song.  It was a great idea to help draw traffic to the site and once people got there they voted and then clicked around to see what else was there.

Well they just announced the winning song – make the jump for more...

I'm a huge fan of Sir Elton John's efforts  in the areas of gay rights and AIDS, but  lately I've been wondering how to reconcile the fact that one of the world's most outspoken and out gay men is in business with one of the world's most powerful and influential homophobes and opponents of gay rights.  And by no means am I accusing Sir Elton of being a cheap whore; after all $500,000 a pop ain't cheap.
