WASHINGTON - The scene: A diner and a jukebox. A nostalgic song. A long fade to black. It worked as a finale for "The Sopranos." It now marks a new beginning for "The Clintons."
Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign on Tuesday unveiled its new campaign song with a Web video that spoofs the final scene of the popular HBO mobster series.
The video and the announcement of Celine Dion's "You and I" as the official Clinton tune cap a monthlong, interactive Internet campaign that drew more than a million viewers to the Clinton campaign Web site and to YouTube, the popular online video display room.
It also illustrates the growing reliance by some of the more technologically savvy campaigns to connect with voters and potential donors in a clever, relatively inexpensive format that is infused with pop culture references, contemporary themes or intimate moments.
Just this week, the campaign of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican, posted a video featuring Romney's wife, Ann, narrating scenes of Christmas vacation last year when the family reached the decision to pursue the White House.
In the new Clinton clip, Hillary Clinton, like Tony Soprano, spins through the musical selections in a diner in Mt. Kisco, N.Y., near her home in Chappaqua, as her husband, former President Clinton, quizzes her about the campaign and the song contest winner.
The Soprano touches are subtle but perfectly obvious to any fan of the series.
The music that plays through the video is not Dion's but Journey's "Don't Stop Believin,'" the same song that Tony Soprano chooses from the jukebox in the show's final scene. At one point, actor Vince Curatola, who played New York mob boss Johnny "Sack" Sacramoni in the series, walks menacingly by the Clintons' table.
Tony Soprano ordered onion rings. Hillary orders carrots for Bill. "No onion rings?" the former president asks forlornly.
"Where's Chelsea?" Sen. Clinton asks. Outside a car tire hits the curb. "Parallel parking," President Clinton replies.
"How's the campaign going?" he asks.
"Well, like you always say, focus on the good times."
"So what's the winning song," he presses.
"You'll see."
"My money is on Smash Mouth," he says. "Everybody in America wants to know how it's going to end."
"Ready?" Hillary asks.
The scene fades to black.
But, no, unlike the Sopranos, it's not over. You can click to hear Dion's song. A new page pops up. The most prominent word stands out against a red background:
"Contribute."

Really? Why? Do you know?
It was being discussed at the time over the internet that Hillary Clinton had lunch with JFK Jr. warning him not to run. There was talk that he would run, do you recall that he was getting out of the Print business and was going to pursue a career in politics, people were speculating he would run in New York. It seemed like a natural move at the time. At the same time, people were beginng to speculate that Hillary was interested in running in New York too. But do you recall that it was taken as a joke, it seemed unbelievable that Hillary could do such as thing. But it turned out not to be a joke, didn’t it? People were sure talking. Remember the little boat ride the Clintons took with Jackie and John Jr.? It seemed like the Clintons were trying to rub off some of the magic John Kennedy. There were too many coincidences and too many people were talking. I don’t think any of it was a conicidence.
Here is a link that indicates such a lunch could have very likely taken place, it would have made a lot of sense. I feel sorry for John Kennedy Jr. By the way Ronnie, do you remember anything about people talking about the lunch that Hillary Clinton with JFK Jr. warning him not to run for Senate? Please respond, it’s been a long time since I wrote you, but I sure would appreciate a reply.

Not surprised that Bubba and Tubba are big fans of the Sopranos. As I said, they associate with those types in real life. The mob has been involved in politics in the US for about 100 years, predominantly with Democrats. Never has their influence in government been greater than during the Clinton years.

Good to connect once again with your CLARITY, rodeo-mamma.
I’ll NEVER FORGET sharing here ..as it happened..
...how former CLINTON White House political advisor, and then brand new FoX News Channel analyst, DICK MORRIS became part of FoX’s July 1999 JFK jr disaster TV coverage.
This just before JFK jr’s smashed airplane was finally found on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. MORRIS was sharing on TV how earlier that same year HILLARY had coldly told JFK jr to...
“Just forget about it”
...after he had told her of his thinking of running for the U.S. Senate seat she was already running for, or for the Presidency itself in year 2000.
This at a New York Lunch JFK jr had initiated with HILLARY.
MORRIS went on to share with us how JFK jr had left that meeting with HILLARY...
..”ONE VERY SHAKEN YOUNG MAN.”
All during the nearly full week of the CLINTON White House-controlled U.S. Navy search for JFK jr’s plane wreckage under the sea the CLINTONS kept putting out in the media how JFK jr was...
“So close to President BILL CLINTON that he had waited till just the year before to visit the White House for the first time since his father JFK’s 1963 assasination ..just so he could be with BILL.”
The only problem for the CLINTONS occured when the RICHARD M. NIXON Library/Birthplace in Yorba Linda CA posted on its front lobby wall before NBC TV Cameras...
...JFK jr’s February 1971 original handwritten thank you note to President & 1st Lady NIXON. A note personally thanking them for their hosting himself, his sister CAROLINE and his mother JACKIE to to dinner at the White House the night before ..their actual first visit there since the sudden Death of President JFK.
Times to NEVER FORGET, indeed..?

Watch this video with the sound off. Hillary looks like a real creep.
Time to fade to black, bitch.
If it's been pulled from youtube, it's probably because there was a ton of comments about it that maybe made her uncomfortable.
You ain't seen nothin' yet!
Thanks for the ping!
As long as they’re doing gangster film spoofs, I have some recommendations for future Hillary campaign videos:
THE GODFATHER VIDEO: Gennifer Flowers wakes up screaming. It seems she’s found a horse’s ass in her bed. Turns out to be Bill.
THE PUBLIC ENEMY VIDEO: Hillary nags Bill at the breakfast table, whining that her campaign is faltering. Bill gets fed up and smashes a grapefruit into her face.
THE LITTLE CAESAR VIDEO: As the electoral votes roll in, sending Hillary down to defeat, Hillary moans, “Mother of mercy, is this the end of the smartest woman in history?”
THE MALTESE FALCON VIDEO: A statue of a vulture with Hillary’s face is discovered. “It’s the stuff nightmares are made of,” says an investigator in a Bogart sounding voice.
THE WHITE HEAT VIDEO: Bill finally divorces Hillary, shouting, “Top of the world, Ma!” in a mock conversation with his late mother.
THE L.A. CONFIDENTIAL VIDEO: Two detectives find Hillary hanging around with criminals and thugs. One detective accuses her of being a cosmetic surgery look-alike, but the other points out that it really is Hillary.
Flat Baroque, Superstar, Bless the Beast and The Child, Without You, You and I, If I Could, Rock This Country, Your Still the One, Ain’t No Stopping Us Now, Can’t Stand Losing, Get Ready, Don’t Look Back, The Best, Their Side of the World, I’m A Believer, Hold You High, Peace On Earth, Suddenly I See
Yes, bless the Beast and the Child—the Hildabeast and the Child Man. Of course, Bill’s money is on Smashmouth’s I’m A Believer and Hold You High. Music with a message.
better yet, Hillary and Star Trek (Doomsday Machine):
.
By the way,
...JFK jr’s sunken plane wreckage was finally found by the CLINTON White House-controlled search operation...
...on the very day that JFK jr had previously set up to announce, from the Capitol steps in Albany NY, his own run for the State’s U.S. Senate seat. Despite HILLARY’s cold warning to him not to earlier that year.
This, after JFK jr was due to return from a KENNEDY Family wedding in Martha’s Vineyard.
A wedding of no return.
Photos taken of the plane wreckage showed that JFK jr’s seat had been smashed, totally inverted backwards, by the plane’s 500 mph entry into the Atlantic Ocean.
Oh, JOHN-JOHN, we hardly got to know ya.
.
And this Gangster Video of Bill and Hillary... how smooth to “say it first” implying they are criminals and make a little hahaha about it.
Oh, so they think the DARK SIDE is funny!
....Just what we need in a Third Clinton Term!
Hillary Rodham Clinton is VERY SCARY
and that's just the way she likes it!
Thanks for replying with the information, it was really helpful, you sure do have a good memory. Now, do you have ideas why none of this information seems to EVER make any difference? Are we living in the Twilight Zone?
I will tell her about your comments. I'm sure she will appreciate your support. I know she misses all of you.
She just posted this on the Sopranos spoof:
'SMASH MOUTH' (clinton Sopranos-mob-hit-mashup MASHUP: 'humanizing' hillary)
(YouTube)
"When Bill said, 'My money's on Smash Mouth,' I thought 'better put some ice on that.' I see you had the same thought" (mr1user)
