Bill Clinton's presidential terms brought a lot of firsts, including being the first "classic rock" president. His use of the Fleetwood Mac song "Don't Stop (Thinking about Tomorrow)" in 1992 was inspirational.

On my Indiana trip, I noticed there was a soundtrack during Bill Clinton's stop in Plymouth and Hillary Clinton's stop in South Bend. After the speeches, the soundtrack kicked in.

John Mellencamp - This Is My Country

Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down

Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

Theme from Rocky - Bill Conti

The artists and titles have great significance. Mellencamp ties into Indiana and the pride in our country. Petty sounds familiar to that audience, and the obvious title for Hillary of not backing down. While BTO is a Canadian group, the title and classic rock familiarity are appropriate for Hillary Clinton's demographics. And the Theme from Rocky obviously is a carryover from the fighter image and the Pennsylvania primary.

THE BUZZFLASH MEDIA PUTZ OF THE WEEK

http://mediaputz.com/08/05/putz0508.html

Contessa Brewer and the Corporate Mainstream Media

For reporting that is an embarrassment to the profession of journalism, and for being beholden to corporate paymasters rather than the citizens of America.

We received so many nominations for individual members of the corporate "Big Media" that we decided to just present a group BuzzFlash Media Putz this week. The occasion for the recognition is that until the Indiana/North Carolina primaries, the corporate press focused for weeks on tin lapel pins, Jeremiah Wright, the Pledge of Allegiance, and other issues that have no relevance to the problems facing America.

In fact, as recently as last Sunday, Tim Russert, the "dean" of insider D.C. broadcast-journalism "respectability," grilled Barack Obama yet again on Rev. Wright, taking up a large part of an hour interview with a topic that was old news, a distraction, and had no bearing on the severe problems facing our nation.

THE BUZZFLASH GOP HYPOCRITE OF THE WEEK

http://gophypocrites.com/2008/05/hyp08019.html

Vito Fossella

Welcome back to the Buzzflash GOP Hypocrite of the Week.

This is our preface to this week's award: U.S. Congressman "Fossella, who was elected in 1997, is an arch-conservative with close ties to the Bush White House, which may make it more difficult for him to recover."

A U.S. representative who is tied at the hip with the Bushevik is the BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week? How could that happen and what does Fossella have to recover from?

BE ELECTED
by Christine Bowman

Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal columnist, former speechwriter to Ronald Reagan, and author of The Case Against Hillary Clinton (2000) had this to say today:

White women have been Mrs. Clinton's most reliable base of support and readiest crutch, the superdelegate said. And maybe they're the only ones who can break through, both to Mrs. Clinton and to the country ...

Maybe Hill could save some face if
Someone granted a wish & then
She somehow became the President
Of both Florida and Michigan.
