CELINE DION?? or Why Dennis Kucinich is Smarter than Hillary Clinton Click HERE to Bring Up Full Post

Kucinich has done some lame, geeky and downright "guano"-insane things in his long career.

But, to my knowledge, he has never been so magnificently, pompously stupid as to pick a CELINE DION song as his campaign theme. That's a screw-up he avoided; upon him much respect.

Compared to Hillary Clinton's apotheosis of lameness, Kucinich looks like this guy:



But THIS is the song that Team Clinton picked - in substance the jingle for an AIR CANADA commercial.



I have heard (but not verified) that Celine Dion may have become an American citizen. Given the cash that she is earning in Las Vegas, she would have made a smart tax move in doing so. Quebec taxes are nasty and Canadian federal taxes are no picnic either, while U.S. income taxes are moderate and Nevada's non-existent at this date. (I believe that Canada taxes ex-pats the same way that the U.S. does, but have not verified that.) So that obvious first question - was there no American songwriter or performer for this American President aspirant to choose? - is not clearly answered either way; those who know, please say in the comments.

But an Air Canada jingle? This is Rush Limbaugh's dream. This is Giuliani's dream; my bet is that he picks Sinatra if he gets the chance. McCain's too; if she's dumb enough to pick Celine Dion, he can outfight her. This is evidence of not having a "wartime consigliere"; perhaps not a Fredo move, but at best a Tom Hagen move.

And no, Celine Dion Fan Club members, if you sell your song to Air Canada, it's a jingle, even if you've been playing it for twenty years on stage (which she hasn't.)
