Up With People, anyone?

Sometimes cool has its upside, because though I harshed on Obama’s music video too much in my last post, at least it has a modicum of class and taste. Now this. It’s hard to believe this Hillary video is nothing other than an Up With People out take. No wonder she’s loosing badly down the stretch. You’ve got to wonder when she will escape the ’90s Clinton time machine (or is it the ’80s, ’70s. 60s???? They don’t know what era they live in). The lesson with this, which is highly symbolic of Clinton herself, is that when you try to be all things to all people, you become aesthetic mush, not unlike public art.

Talk about a bad virus that catches on for the wrong reason.

PS I realize that both videos in question are “unofficial,” but this may be a case of learning to judge by the friends one keeps.

PPS In case you are wondering if there is a political ad I do like, check this one out.
