You talking to me, was Deniro, not Nicholson. Deranged and dispicable?? Those are characters he plays, not reality.

Clinton has a lot of male supporters, but most of them don't have the balls to come out and admit it.
Jack Nicholson is man enough to admit it,

I'm a Hillary supporter, and I'm not afraid to admit it. Why should I be? If you are overly concerned with what others think about you, you become their prisoner.

OK, so, in order:
Clip One: The Joker, a sociopathic villain: "Batman"
Clip Two: Jack Torrence, a psychopathic writer who is about to kill his wife and kids and does kill an African-American cook: "The Shining"
Clip Three: Col. Jessup, a psychopathic Marine officer at Guantanamo Bay who allows his troops to kill a gay soldier because of his sexual preference: "A Few Good Men"
Clip Four: Jake, a sleazy private eye : "Chinatown"
Clip Five: Gee, I can't tell if this is "Easy Rider" where he plays a drug dealer or "Carnal Knowledge" where he plays a misogynist, borderline rapist jerk who abuses all women and sex workers equally.
Clip Six: Back to Col. Jessup, "A Few Good Men", who in this clip is advocating sleeping with superior officers in direct contravention of military law.
Clip Seven: Jack nowadays, in sunglasses even indoors because he is a vampire.

Priceless. Pefect for HRC's campaign.... You couldn't make stuff like this up.

I love Jack (at least 1969 Jack) as much as the next guy, but associating your political campaign with a misogynistic coke head is a bit of a "what the .... " particularly with a on the fence right winger like hillary.

Then of course there is the happy A-OK to breaking U.S. copyright law, as neither Jack nor Hillary owns any of these clips. Good luck with that when they send you the fines... but wait, ironically I doubt the MPAA will step in as Hillary is behind them in suing 12 yr olds, rating Video Games and all kinds of other nefarious censorship activities.

What next... Keep'em coming and you are only diggin your own grave at this point.

Go Hillary! (sic)

Yes you are sick, there is no doubt about that. I'm so done even considering if I would vote for Obama, it's Nobama now! I hate you people more than republicans, i swear to god. How dare you call someone a coke head!

CubbyCox, what are Republicans going to do after Tuesday if you no longer have the Clintons to hate?

I think you will go through Clinton hatred withdrawal all the way to the November election because you will realize that you nominated a warmonger candidate with no knowledge on the economy. McCrazy actually thinks that Islamic Extremism is the transcendental challenge of the 21st century when we are going broke because of the Iraq war. McCrazy has no clue how to solve rising health care costs, the sub prime crisis, the recession and energy crunch. Let alone understanding that foreign policy is not just about starting other wars. McCazy does not even know that China's economic dominance, Russia's totalitarian swing and the global economy are but a few of the real threats to American prosperity. Have fun putting a brave face on your support for a candidate that you hate almost as much as the Clintons.

He should have added a the line with the question, "How do you see Hilary Clinton as President"

The response from "As Good As It Gets":

"I think of a man and take away reason and accountability"

Again another reason on how using old Jack Nicholson seems to ridicule her campaign

Hillary and the media are the ones giving her supporters false hopes. She has no chance to win the election unless she resorts to dirty tricks, just like the Joker. They keep on telling us that you cannot count the Clintons out but Hillary never came back from anything in her career. In the run to the Senate she was the front runner and if she could come back we would have health care right now. Bill was the comeback kid who lost his Arkansas Gubernatorial race but came back to win the next cycle. Bill came back from scandal to have over a 65% when he left the white house not Hillary who never got her negatives below 40%. OBAMA HAS HAD THE PLEDGE LEAD IN DELEGATES SINCE THE FIRST CONTEST IN IOWA.


The media is also giving Hillary's campaign much more positive coverage than it deserves. Hillary won New Hampshire by a measly 3 points and won Nevada even though she got one less pledge delegate. Then she was supposed to close out Obama on Super Tuesday and after all the votes were counted he ended up with more pledge delegates again. Then Hillary loses 11 contests in a row and she makes her firewalls the Texas and Ohio primaries. Even if she squeaks by in Texas and Ohio, Obama will still have a relatively large pledge delegate lead, but the media will make it sound like she is back in the race. Hillaryland has already said if they lose a close race in Texas or Ohio that her campaign might continue. Basically her campaign will be like sharks trolling around waiting for some blood, because they are hoping something bad comes out against Obama so they can claim victory. Maureen Dowd put it best with regards to the press being against Hillaryland.


"Beating on the press is the lamest thing you can do. It is only because of the utter open-mindedness of the press that Hillary can lose 11 contests in a row and still be treated as a contender."


I saw a few pundits in the media and show quote because some of them realized that she is just running a vanity campaign at this point. Having the Joker in her latest commercial is fitting because Hillary and the media are playing you all like Jokers. Hillary's hard core supporters will stay with her through thick and thin because they believe she is entitled to be coronated Queen Hillary.

One way or the other, Nobama is going to lose. I cannot wait to come back and see you crying on that day. It's not even him that I have the problem, it's that the people that support him, our complete zealots and jack asses. We've had enough of that.

I'll take Mccain. My mind is made up over the last 2 dips to chime in their hate filled speech. See , I don't hate Obama, I hate you! And since he is planning on enlisting you in the process, that makes me think by the evidence I see hear, that process is going to one crazy cluster f***. No thanks.

What you forget is that *we* can't loose, even if Senator Obama does... because he, his *words* got a lot of people off the couch, out of their houses and in to the streets.

It's a revolution, it's political evolution, The cat is out of the bag.

So go ahead and vote for whomever you like, this boat, our boat, has a place for you, and everyone else, whether you use it or not.

Does Hillary and her entourage think that people won't associate the clips with the films they relate to?
Look at 3 of the characters Nicholson played and whose character clips are somehow supposed to help Hilarious get the nomination:
Jack Torrance (the Shining) was a maniacal author/would be wife killer
Col. Jessup (A Few Good Men) was a loose cannon zealot who broke the law to get what HE thought was Right costing a marine his life
Robert Dupea (5 Easy Pieces) was a low-life, selfish, confused, aggressive, anti-social man who mistreated a girlfriend, had an affair with his brother's fiance and ended up ditching his girlfriend at
a gas station.
Then for an aging and unkempt Nicholson to then appear at the end and say that he approves of the ad further debases the credibility. Why he didn't have Kobe Bryant (the cheat, like Bill Clinton) come on the add too is beyond me.
Truly a great add...for Obama and certainly not for Hillary. How f'ing Stupid!

SSSHHH!!!! She hasn't figured it out yet!!!

We're going to wait for her to bankrupt herself and her campaign three times over again to put this on TV in Ohio and Texas all weekend, and until the last vote of the last primary has been counted (against her) before letting her in on the joke!

For the time being we just have to be satisfied watching the shillery astroturf brigade tell us how 'creative' they think it is (guffaw, snort!)

No one will ever accuse Hillary & Co. of good comedic timing, I assure you.

Though I did laugh literally out loud in the office yesterday when I saw her 3:am ad.

Watching Hillary's comedic timing is like like watching a monkey drinking it's own pee.

Isn't it ironic that in three of the roles - the joker, COL Jessup, and the Shining - are psychopaths and/or crooks that meet less than happy endings? And in Easy Rider, don't they have a smoke a toke scene, way to criticize drug use Hilary. Seems that the unconscious came out with the making of this campaign add. Is this really an ad to support Hilary or to further ridicule her campaign. Either way the roles of the characters are a perfect choice for her campaign

SO true!

Except I really think that this is a prank on the trolls of the shillary astroturf brigade -- the minute they were told it was "released by the Hillary Clinton Campaign" they just all rushed over to see, and started praising it.

They STILL haven't figured out what a snark it is at Hill.

Funniest thing I've seen in my life -- the video AND the response!

Yah, put your brain in neutral and just pretend he's not making an absolute fool of Hillary and her supporters.

Or, you could actually figure out what he's saying, and realize that it is, in fact, dogpoop and not chocolates he just sent y'all.

Hrm. and if you find the promotion of civil rights "creepy..." try this on:

Why does Obama drag Oprah around everywhere? To appeal to people he wants to vote for him? Another typically oblivious Obama supporter. What was that Jack said about trained professionals? Obama? Give me a break. Obama is not even ready to be Senator, which based on his Foreign Affairs Committee performance, he hasn't even started to do that job yet.

Hm. That's interesting that you think he "drag[s] Oprah around everywhere."

Didn't see her in Austin a week ago Friday.

Didn't see her in San Marcos the other night.

Didn't see her in San Antonio last night.

Or...maybe I just didn't see her because tens of thousands of other people were at each event.

Good lord. I like Clinton. I'm not voting for her because she's too indecisive and ready to please the powers that be, to make a good president. But I like her. And I like Jack Nicholson. But this ad makes both of them look ANCIENT, almost vaudevillian, in their view of America. It could just as easily be an ad for insurance for seniors.
