...what would they sing?
Hillary Clinton
"Everything done will be justified by my foundation"
Barack Obama
"You can fake your way to the top
'Round and around!
Blow your horn!
Fake your way to the top
Don'tcha know I made my way to the top
Yes I did
And it's always real, so real
Always so real... Ooh!"
John Edwards
"With one look they'll forgive the past
They'll rejoice I've returned at last
To my people in the dark
Still out there in the dark"
Mike Huckabee
"Arkansas, Arkansas
I just love old Arkansas
Love my ma, love my pa
But I just love old Arkansas"
Rudy Guiliani
"I got the horse right here
The name is Paul Revere
And here's a guy that says that the weather's clear
Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse can do, can do, can do."
Mitt Romney
"I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real."
John McCain
When you are as old as I, my dear
And I hope you never are
You will woefully wonder why, my dear
Through your cataracts and catarrh
You could squander away or sequester
A drop of a precious year
For when your best days are yester
The rest'er twice as dear....
Fred Thompson
"I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I’ve information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I’m teeming with a lot o’ news –
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse."
Duncan Hunter
"Mister Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there"
Michal Bloomberg
"Money makes the world go round
the world go round
the world go round..."

Posted: 1/5/08 at 6:22amI would pay to see Romney sing West Side Story.
I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

HD--Are you now posting--or have you ever been posted--under another screen name?
Answer this direct question with a YES or NO.
#8re: If Politicians were Musical Characters...
Posted: 1/6/08 at 11:11amWow, HD...I'm not trying to insult you, I'm actualy curious how that actually makes sense.
#9re: If Politicians were Musical Characters...
Posted: 1/6/08 at 11:16amHe's not a real person. He's not even a human being. He's a failed straight female playwright pretending to be a gay male conservative--and doing it badly, as usual.

Posted: 1/6/08 at 11:20amMy question didn't concern the gender, sexual orientation, age or actual talent of HD's real identity. It was a question of its artistic choices.

RE: The Clintons and The Cell Block Tango
Remember Vince Foster????
The Clintons will do away with anyone who gets in their way.
"The Cell Block Tango" would be the music that primes them to go out and commit political murder.
It is the theme song on the Boo-Hoo express.
Also, both Bill and Hillary have almost gone to jail for crimes.

Posted: 1/6/08 at 11:41amAs completely ludicrous and illogical as that rationale was, thank you for directly answering my question, HD.

I was listening to Louisiana Purchase this morning, and when I heard these lyrics I immediately thought of Huckabee.
"You know that it's a fact
That since the Wagner Act
The head of labor says
That a candidate for prez
Mustn't cross a picket line
Mustn't cross a picket line
With labor you'll be through
They will never vote for you
If you cross a picket line
If you cross a picket line
Yes, a candidate for president must never cross a picket line
Don't listen to the pickets, Ollie, dear
Let's go inside, it means your whole career
A candidate can leave his party flat
And wind up on the opposition ticket
He can double-cross his other brother rat
But he mustn't hurt the feelings of a picket
No, he mustn't hurt the feelings of a picket
Louisiana purchase, I told you what it means
So won't you let me sell you New Orleans
Come on, come on
And you all can go to town way down in New Orleans"
