The Bill and Hillary Spoof Ad

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video: Bill and Hillary spoof the “Sopranos” ending

This makes two creative, entertaining spots in a row to come out of her camp. She’s got this, Gravel has those kooky art-film spots, Richardson has his job-interview series, and our guys are dumping out clips from their campaign rallies. “Pathetic” doesn’t begin to describe it.


Click the link to see the video on HotAir. I wasn't going to write about this, but now we on the right are comparing what our guys put in ads to what Hillary is doing. Let me make one thing clear: Hillary is not campaigning.

It is one thing to campaign, and even to pander. It is quite another to be the David Copperfield of modern politics. The reason why Hillary's campaign stuff is so entertaining is because it's supposed to be. It's purpose is to get you to like her because you like her stuff. There is no substance, no real candidacy. It feels too much like an ad campaign for a new Disney movie.

Think about it. First, she launches the web site with her famous "Let's start a conversation" video. Then she does this contest for choosing her "official campaign song". Now we have an official campaign ad that spoofs The Sopranos with our former President and his wife acting like a couple of Saturday Night Live staff actors. What's next, a campaign auction for taking Bill to dinner? Does she have moon-bounces at her stump speeches? Is there going to be a pony ride sponsored by Billery at the Democrat National Convention?

Look, I'm sure we all grew up with at least one kid in our neighborhood who had no personality but tried to make up for it by giving the other kids candy or rides on their bike or let them borrow toys. I know I did. He entertained us and we tolerated him. And I'm sure a lot of you did that too. But what we need to be asking ourselves right now is if , as adults, we can allow that kid to bribe his way into the White House.
