Hillary Clinton

Medill DC

Former Republican presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) took to Twitter tonight during the Democratic debate to poke fun at Hillary Clinton for spending $90,000 on consultants to compile a playlist of 13 songs for her to use on the campaign trail.

He suggested a playlist of his own for her, "free of charge," that would be "more enjoyable" than the Democratic debate, then tweeted out links to a number of Hillary-relevant songs.

Paul suggested:

1. Fleetwood Mac's "Little Lies" because Clinton isn't a candidate who tells the truth,

2. Matchbox 20's "3AM" because she said she was ready for the 3:00a.m. call but wasn't,

3. Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me", hat tipped to Saturday Night Live,

4. John Legend's "The House I Live In" because Clinton had a John Legend song but the one about the failed war on drugs would be more appropriate,

5. Bruce Springsteen's "War" because "Hillary's wars in Libya and Syria and her vote to go into Iraq have left us less safe," and

6. The Police's "Every Breath You Take" because Hillary "loves NSA spying on you."

He finished by offering Andy Grammar's "Good to Be Alive," saying it had "nothing to do with anything" but suggesting to "play this loud wherever you are," especially if watching the Democratic debate:

    2. Jackand Ace   9 years ago

      Hendrix.

      1. MSimon   9 years ago

        Yeah. Thanks.

        1. Jackand Ace   9 years ago

          Side note...Dylan once did an interview about cover versions of his songs, and he said Hendrix owns that song. So even he would have picked that version.

    3. Kristen Bids No Trump   9 years ago

      I like the Hendrix version, but I love the BSG version.

  4. Inigo Montoya, Micro-Aggressor   9 years ago

    He could add The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes," Rob Zombie's "Dragula," and Radiohead's "Creep."

  5. Grand Moff Serious Man   9 years ago

    'River of Deceit' by Mad Season

  6. Nick W B   9 years ago

    No Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden? Or is that on Trump's?

    song for Hillary and other Democrat icons
    And when he died
    the whole world lied
    They say he's a saint
    but I know he aint

    song for Agile Cyborg

  14. Agile Cyborg   9 years ago

    walking on the rungs of the moon
    loop the spaces between that fat time between
    your times and theirs. I can't explain why but
    neighborhoods have discrete planets swerving around
    tall gentlemen leaning into mirrors
    neighborhoods are like states.
    discrete and pretend special because lines
    make everything trapped including your old dad or mom
    in cheap dead suite hotels. the sort Hihn would use for its
    progenitors.

    so when the branches of these odd collectives merge
    if you study closely the inbetween can be felt like a falling star
    smashing into the forehead of a very sweet and gentle guitar

    1. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   9 years ago

      I've missed you poetry, Agile. You're a fucking national treasure. Slainte!

      1. Agile Cyborg   9 years ago

        Almanian is the beast.

  15. Agile Cyborg   9 years ago

    Micheal Hihn stole the pickles from sad carnival workers
    Michael hiz space n fucks lost planets with his vagina tank
    Michael Hindass sucks demon dicks
    Michael in without the FUCKING H andFUCKING h is a horrible trapdoor of white space lightning which hits when men fall into nightmares

    1. Cdr Lytton   9 years ago

      something something aggressors something Cato tiny penis test something something

      Hallelujah Brother Cyborg!

  16. Agile Cyborg   9 years ago

    Have you ever looked at the fucking scratches on an old record, bro
    sat on a basement carpet and pondered on a wall of fucking silent screams
    punching past cardboard boxes
    history splits with the voices of songs of beauty
    i knew a record collector in Ohio who still has that largest collection ever
    and I would eat sandwiches and play records wobbling parallel galaxies
    of voices most will never hear in mod times.

  17. Agile Cyborg   9 years ago

    i would draw creatures on white spaces when I was a boy
    and now i type buttons while on trips and i am so exposed man
    but a strong man even on cocaine will rise up and love his
    lovers like i LOVE reason men and women. the FUCKING
    best monsters on the goddamn internet are these motherfucking
    angels of Reason. Reason ANGELS!!! hel fuck yes. super FUCKING hells yay

  18. Agile Cyborg   9 years ago

    Like if a massive ship crashed into my head agile will not die and will arise
    bleeding billions of rainbows and love songs and vaginas and boobs, the which agile loves as much as his reason lovers
    I do have a love life that is very sexual and my soft bed of my blonde is filled with much partners and
    we will live short lives like you lovely men and 2.7 sisters

  19. Agile Cyborg   9 years ago

    fucking goddamn christ is singing a fucking christmas song in my fucking head..
    really, JESUS? you have to sing a fucking Santa SONG IN my heads?
    the Lord needs to reel that son in.
    fucking CHRIST I am FUCKING on cocaina and percosete CHRISTMAS i cannot drive to buy present right now.
    also I am hearing violins
    I apologize for tripping into weird demographics, man
    carpeted rockets and scarred lives wash over me like
    panties painted white and tight
    but I still fuckin love goddamn ace of spades, sweet leather ghost man

  20. Agile Cyborg   9 years ago

    alleys groan
    with a voice of
    an actual demon with
    angel wings, man
    the dead king claws
    back into the
    throne of our lives
    and those who do not
    submit to the
    lost angel scrabbling for
    leather and hell
    should get raped by
    the moons

  21. Suell   9 years ago

      1. Suell   9 years ago

        I am writing from the future and the weather is just fine...

  22. Agile Cyborg   9 years ago

    lost games
    scream for the echoes
    of nations flying into the visions
    of futures running for
    hell or heaven
    and jaws scratch the manuscripts of times
    begging for equals or stances
    where the ships and clouds
    can not scream break
    upon a fragile gem place
    our men and women punch vessels out
    of sad horror man.
    because the next edge is upon us

  23. Agile Cyborg   9 years ago

    1. coloraDOOM   9 years ago

      Enjoy, AC.

      1. Trigger Hippie   9 years ago

        I like to think of AC as the physical manifestation of Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica.

    2. Morbark 50   9 years ago

      Why do I get the terrible feeling that these are AC's final words? Maybe a cyborg cannot die, and only needs the morning light to reboot a new rainbow body.

  30. DavidC   9 years ago

    Pink Floyd's 'Fletcher Memorial Home'... for tyrants and kings
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8u-tBP-f3A

  31. Inigo Montoya, Micro-Aggressor   9 years ago

    "They Dance Alone," an early 80s song by the recently-soloed Sting about the tyrannical rule of Chile's Pinochet, could be extended to apply to all would-be dictators.

  32. SuperNaut   9 years ago

    Orwell was wrong, the future isn't a boot stamping on a human face forever, it is the mind-crushing inanity of social media.

  33. Kristen Bids No Trump   9 years ago

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP4GQPbn4Aw

  34. Bob Meyer   9 years ago

    I'd add "Their Coming to Take Me Away Ha! Ha!" by Napoleon the 23rd to the playlist.

  35. MoriahJovan   9 years ago

    I have always admired (and envied) Rand's ability to troll Hillary so fabulously.

  36. Rockabilly   9 years ago

    Hillary Clinton supports Obama's racist war on drugs and the War on Women who Smoke Weed.

  37. GreenLantern   9 years ago

    Too bad "Can't Buy Me Love" was already taken by ?JEorgeB?.

  38. David Emami   9 years ago

    I have this one reserved for when she leaves DC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXWbMu4PtpE

    "Been a whole lot easier since the bitch is gone,
    Little miss, little miss can't be wrong.
    Ain't nobody gonna bow no more when you sound your gong."

  39. MSimon   9 years ago

    Meanwhile, 2.5 hours earlier:

    Michael Hihn|3.9.16 @ 11:56PM|#|?|filternamelinkcustom

    Perfect photo of Rand.
    Since he's as childish as Trump.
    This guy ran for PRESIDENT? (shudder)

    Hubris?
    schadenfreude?
    hypocrisy?

  47. jarflax   9 years ago

    Insanity.

  48. HeteroPatriarch   9 years ago

    Just Hihn being Hihn. Every other comment is an ad hominem, and the rest are screaming about people being mean to him. He's an SJW in (sort of) libertarian(ish) clothing, and he should just go ahead and admit that he's going to vote for Trump because he's so big and strong, he makes him feel safe and...other things that he's not completely comfortable with.

  49. jarflax   9 years ago

    and Hihn posts his policy platform
