As I reported here, Hillary Clinton chose a knock-off of a Sopranos episode to unveil her new campaign song.
My training in psychology has led me to ponder a few ramifications of Clinton's choice for her little '08 debutante preview.
Was it any accident that Clinton, Inc., chose to emulate a series about a ruthless mob crime family? (I don't think that the Clintons have ever done anything by accident).
Or was it a not-so-veiled warning to those who would cross them?
I mean--think about it-- of all their choices, why choose to emulate the Sopranos?
Perhaps on a conscious level, the Clintons thought it would merely be fun to do a knock off of what was a much-discussed episode of a popular cable TV show.
But on an unconscious level, I think it possible (nay, probable) that Clinton, Inc., in their decades-long lust for power, actually feels an affinity for and identifies with the Soprano ethos.
At any rate, it should leave one thinking, shouldn't it?

"The Sopranos and Clinton, Inc--Birds of a Feather?"
That was my first thought when I heard about this overplayed already by the adoring MSM and LWBlogs no thought knockoff this morning Leo.
Fortunately the thing will be played to death by the end of the day. All it shows to me is the Slicksters and Hollywood are joined at the hip (the hip containing the wallets that is)

Did anyone notice they got Johnny Sack (Sporanos NY mob boss) to be in their "film"
BTW anybody who is still in doubt over the extreme left wing bias of our MSM, here is another example. NY Times is now running Hamas' op-ed pieces. Sickening:

You make a good point Mark. The Clintons are the polical mob. They have it all. Polical hitmen, polical money laundering, polical extorsion. They are polical Sopranos. Hillary is Tony and Bill is Carmella.

Scratch that. Bill is Tony. Tony likes to screw other women all the time, and Carmella stays with him for the money and the power. Perfect analogy.

Love or hate Hillary, she hasnt divorced Bill.
Im not sure what her reasons are. I personally would have shot my husband in the willy if he had done that to me.
She should follow what the rest of America does: get out of a marriage when it gets tough.
(please note: that is sarcasm).

Nah, I would assumes that the scales rubbing every place would cause a rash of some sort.

See, that was a "frog" joke ... I guess if I have to explain it it wasn't funny, nevermind.

Psst, Leo, it's just a TV show. It's not real.
And if you want to look at a real crime family, well, we've had one member as President for the last six years.

If YOU had bothered to "look at a crime family, it should have been the 8 years of the Power/Money Mongers-The Clintons". And, since they did nothing in protecting Americans during at least 6 attacks on Americans, (including the first World Trade Center BEFORE 9/ll) treating it as a "Police Matter, rather than TERRORISM, we would NOT have had to deal with further Terrorism
attacks, which occurred, as they felt we here in the U.S., were weak and vulnerable-thus, 9/ll happended. so when you want to criticize, know what the hell you're talking about, because you hate THIS administration, who had the balls to step up to the plate(that was LEFT full by the inept Clinton partnership), in trying to rid our society of Terrorists who want to kill Americans-including you and yours'. Wise up, and realize how, and why we had the "bigger and better bang by
Radical Terrorists, who had gotten away with so many prior attacks, and suffered NO TERRORIST CHARGES" It's someone like YOU, p.m., who cannot
see the big picture here, and don't want to look into the WHY, and the Clinton's(both) who only worried about lining their OWN pockets(just check
out whom they have been ammassing a fortune from)
who put us into this situation. Wake UP.

So what does your training in psychology tell you about the joke the president made when he looked under his podium for weapons of mass destruction?
