'You and I' No More?

ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Less than 30 days before the critical Iowa caucuses, there's a shake-up in the Clinton presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton and Celine Dion appear to be parting ways.
For months, the soprano headlined Clinton's, D-N.Y., campaign appearances as Dion's "You and I" served as the former first lady's campaign theme song.
"High above the mountains, far across the sea," bellowed Dion over loudspeaker after loudspeaker.
"I can hear your voice calling out to me, Brighter than the sun and darker than the night, I can see your love shining like a light," the Canadian songstress would sing as the aspiring American president took or departed the political stage.
At first, Dion and Clinton hit a all the right notes, as they're likely to say in the inevitable VH1 Behind the Music special. Brought together in an inventive and original contest, "You and I" was unveiled as the people's choice for Clinton's destiny (not child's) filled run for the White House.
The song played on, from Iowa to South Carolina, without missing a beat. But, now, only the sounds of silence can be heard from the Clinton camp's Celine CD.
Instead on the trail these days, Big Head Todd and the Monsters are in and their "Blue Sky" is seemingly the campaign's favorite as the New York Senator enters and exits the stage.
The Clinton camp had no response when pressed by ABC News to explain why the sudden change from chick-favorite Vegas-anchored Dion to the masculine, Colorado-native Monsters.
Fortunately, for just these circumstances, VH1 has created some consoling music selections to document this critical juncture in the 2008 race: the top 40 break-up songs ever.

Anybody remember that little Celine-Babs tiff?

Another 'bad day' for Hillary. First, her favorite 'Hillraiser', Norman Hsu was indicted. Next, Pres. Bush tell us that Iran stopped its nuclear program 4 years ago, and yet Hillary signed on to give Bush the authority to 'get tough' on Iran. But now, we have yet another 'Flip-Flop' by Hillary, as she dumps Celine and picks a new group.
Perhaps the best thing for you to do now, is to step up your attacks on Barack. I am sure that this strategy is working.

I hope this doesn't mean we have to listen to Streisand now.

Celine Dion song for a theme? What was it, the theme to the "Titanic"? Hillary is sinking faster then anyone can believe. She does not have 1/100th the personality of her husband. No one will be able to bail her out.

Perhaps the theme song to the Mary Tyler Moore show?....
Who can turn the world on with her smile.... who can take a nothing day and...
Perhaos not...
LOL!

Payback for Bab's endorsement. can't stand Celine and has feigned illness just to avoid getting blasted off the stage by her better (much) vocals.
Posted by: Richard | Dec 4, 2007 7:41:04 PM
Hey, stop picking on HRC. She's trying to concentrate and decide what her new position will be on Iran...duh

When Strisand came openly into the fold, you could count the hours before Celine would be dumped by Hillery. Loyal to the end as always.

Hillary is attacking the KINDERGARTEN comments of a rival for president??????
Are you kidding me?????????????????
She is the smartest woman in America, yet comments from Barrack in Kindergarten are fair political game????
Hillary is a buffon of the first order!!!!!!!
Posted by: Darrel | Dec 4, 2007 7:44:37 PM
Her theme song should be "SEASON OF THE WITCH"
Posted by: Ed Silva | Dec 4, 2007 7:45:53 PM
Hillary can't even remain consistent on a campaign song, one day one view, the next day another( i.e driver's licenses for illegals).
Posted by: Tobias2012 | Dec 4, 2007 7:46:31 PM
If Hillary had integrity or self-respect she would have ensured the last sound Bill Clinton ever heard years ago was her re-loading!
Why is anyone surprised she is all over the map now?
Posted by: Alison Carnie | Dec 4, 2007 7:51:03 PM
Hillary is soooooo over.
Posted by: bonnie dudley | Dec 4, 2007 7:51:27 PM
And this is exactly why Mrs Hillary Rotten Clinton wil NOT occupy the White House again! The Clinton Crime Family is done, stick a fork in them!!

"The Internationale" would seem to be a perfect theme song for this state-socialist's campaign.
Posted by: Geoff | Dec 4, 2007 7:54:58 PM
Her highness needs a new theme song - How about "The Adams Family" theme song - that fits.

FreeRepublic had a great collection of songs for HRC.
They included:
Witchy Woman
The $itch is Back
These might have had greater staying power.
Posted by: Del | Dec 4, 2007 7:57:51 PM
Well, at least they didn't substitute The $itch Is Back.
Maybe she should use Stand By Your Man.
Posted by: tw111 | Dec 4, 2007 7:58:16 PM
thank god she dumped that celine song!! go hillary!!!!
Posted by: robert | Dec 4, 2007 8:00:16 PM
I personally like "The $itch is Back." My liberal son in NYC suggests "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath.
