Hillary Says “Roll Out The Barrel”
It doesn’t look so good for the Republicans right now in Iowa and Barack Obama’s playing the “hip” card; pumping pre-recorded U2 songs through the mains before he makes his flamboyant appearances onstage to deliver his messages of “unity” and other confusing rhetoric to thundering crowds. And it’s working.
According to RealClearPolitics, he leads Democratic candidates in Iowa; a lead SURE to grow even larger with his personal endorsement (H/T to Mark Abinder) of fellow foe ALLY, Dennis Kucinich, to all “undecided” and “pro-Kucinich” Iowans on this “Caucus Eve” to cast their votes instead, for the Senator from Illinois.
While Her Royal Highness, Sir Hillary Rodham Clinton, could have chosen to “fight fire with fire” by actually hiring the band U2 to perform LIVE prior to her speeches, she has decided to “take a gun to a knife fight” by hiring an accordianist (Union, I would presume?).
I would doubt Obama has an answer to this one. After all, I’m sure he would agree with me in sharing the point of view that U2 could have buried the Beatles if only they had added both an accordianist and a cow bell player to their lineup. I think it’s safe to say we are ALL on the same page on that one.
In other words, Barack, “hip” as he may portray himself to be, might as well hang it up right now. The “Queen” has pulled a “fast one” on “the Joker”. Senator Barack Obama “The Jester” has been properly “Swift-Boated”…
From The Times Online (UK):
When Iowa’s music stops
Tom Baldwin and Tim Reid in Des MoinesThe contrast in the campaigns that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are running in these final hours before the Iowa caucuses can be heard in the music played at their rallies.
Mr Obama, buoyed by the support of idealistic and excited young Iowans, blasts out upbeat celebratory tunes befitting his rock-star status. “Thank you Iowa!” he shouts as he walks out to the strains of U2 and greets his wife, Michelle, who is wearing black patent leather knee-high boots and jodhpurs. “Please give it up for the next First Lady of the United States of America!”
Mrs Clinton, whose support is heavily skewed with older women voters, seeks to generate a more genteel atmosphere, with the crowd at one event being entertained by an accordion player. …”
It’s O-V-E-R for Mr. Obama. His chosen musicians once sung the glum lyics, “…all is quiet… on New Year’s Day…” while former “Co-President” Hillary Clinton’s instrument of choice, to this very day, projects the fun-loving message of:
“Rollll out the barrel…
Let’s have a barrel of funnnn…
Rollll out the barrel…
Let’s have a barrel of funnn….”
You want a “calm before the storm” for a glum New Year? Vote for Obama. You want a “barrel of fun”? Vote for Hillary. That’s the clear message here. And Hillary knows what she’s doing, too. A recent Gallup Poll of likely-to-vote Iowan farmers suggests they strongly prefer leaders who appreciate polka music over progressive european rock ANY day of the week.
Karl Rove himself couldn’t have planned for a Clinton (II) victory any better. We’ve been patiently waiting to catch a glimpse of this “No more Ms. ‘Nice Gal’” version of Queen Hillary long enough. It is refreshing to finally see our dreams come to fruition…
Put a fork in it, Mr. Obama.
