YOUTUBE SING-ALONG - BILL CLINTON THE SEXUAL PREDATOR

Several months ago, I began putting presentations on YouTube, including parody songs. One of them was a Bill Clinton sexual predator song to Billy Joel's YOU'RE ALWAYS A WOMAN TO ME.

On several YouTubes, it has shown that different sites have linked or embedded one of my videos. There is one curious one, however, that I don't understand. Obviously, the sexual predator song is not going to be linked on Hillary's government site.

Here are the clicks from outside YouTube. Does this simply mean that the song was accessed from a computer in her office?

Here is another question. Is a staffer in her office allowed to be using a government computer to log onto YouTube?

Your help would be appreciated. I guess Sid Blumenthal is watching. Thank goodness Anthony Pellicano is in prison.

Maybe Cankles just likes your music.

Time to enter the Witty Protection Program.

That means that you video was linked from the Clinton website....perhaps someone posted it in an online forum and others clicked to see what they were talking about.

Nice knowin’ ya, Doug.

[doug from upland]

Linked from the Clinton official government website? Someone could go to clinton.senate.gov and have a link to YouTube? I don’t understand that.

[doug from upland]

Thanks for the support.

[BurbankKarl]

can you click the link to see what page is linked?

[doug from upland]

Yeah.

[doug from upland]

The link takes me here — http://clinton.senate.gov/news/statements/details.cfm?id=275680&&;

It means you’re going to Fort Marcy Park soon. Sorry, just kidding. Really.

The statement page that links to that has an embedded YouTube video on it (of her). Someone with (unauthorized?) access to that page of Hillary’s changed the YouTube video to yours as a prank and it’s now been changed back to the right video. The prankster is probably now pining for the fjords.

[doug from upland]

I think I might understand. On the page that is linked, there is a YouTube of her at a hearing. If someone went to that YouTube and they then clicked on mine, that might explain it. But there were five clicks from that page on her site. Did five people watch her video and happen upon mine?

[Neu Pragmatist]

LOL !

[doug from upland]

Is that right? Someone hacked her site?

[BurbankKarl]

I am pretty sure that your video was on her site....hence the clicks from there.

Now if someone was watching her YouTube videos yours might appear adjacent listed as SIMILAR, but I dont think it would indicate that the clicks came from her site.

Actually, in 1998 I flew to DC for the weekend and paraded in front of the WH with a poster-sized eviction notice. They wouldn’t let me serve a real one. It made the Washington Times. On my visit, I went to the park and have a picture of my lying by the cannon. And, I have one (from the back) of me tinkling on a tree as Patrick Knowlton did when he stumbled on the scene. It was fun visit. They wouldn’t let me interview Monica at the Watergate, and they didn’t want to talk about Katie Mahoney at the Starbucks.

[doug from upland]

Maybe I owe someone a beer. If he is still alive.

Probably not a “hack” in the conventional sense. It could be a disgruntled worker for her office or some worker from another Senate office that knows the basics of editing the Senate sites and only needed the login info to do the job which can be gotten easily if the people who know the info aren’t extremely careful. Maybe the password was something simple like “password” or “1234” for example and the usernames to get into the ftp site all follow some convention like hgregg or jsununu or whatever. My guess is that it was basically an inside job. But, yes, at one point, Hillary’s site (that particular page) was directing traffic to your video instead of the one Hillary wanted people to be directed to.
