"Hott 4 Hillary"

I first heard about this video "parody" on Chris Matthews (Hardball). He questioned the woman who made the video -Taryn Southern - pretty aggressively. She was a former contestant on American Idol and he was convinced she did it for the publicity. I would have to agree, especially since she claims to have no strong political motivation.

The rhyming scheme is pretty clever, but I thought the video was kind of icky - I don't object to the sexual innuendo, but I think it was a very odd choice to set the video in a classroom of young kids and to have them singing along. Watch for yourself:
