Wes Clark nominated on VH1 but is beat out by Hillary Duff

[wndycty]

Seriiously! I am watching the VH1 "Big in '03" awards and Gen Clark was nominated for the Breakout of the Year along with 50 Cent, Kim Jong IL, Nemo and Hillary Duff, but Duff won.

Before that the Dixie Chicks won Quote of the Year for slamming Bush. . .interesting, interesting show.

1. Okay

a cute blonde girl (with a lot of talent and brains) beats out Wes Clark AND Kim Jong Il.

What else could you expect?

This isn't Bizarro world after all!

All power to the other Hillary!

[wndycty]

3. Actually the award was "Made it Big in '03"

I never expected him to win but this is quasi important because it creates awareness of him in the pop culture circles. They ran a typical 30 second nominee reel, which in essence is a free campaign ad. No other candidate was put in front of this public.

2. Hillary Duff for President!

Britney Spears for VP! There's no better way to get the female 12-18 year old vote..

Oh, wait.

[wndycty]

5. 18-35 could be watching. . .

. . .might pick up a few votes. Like I said if there are any voters wathching (which believe it or not ehre are--I was) they might become curious.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

10. So I take it that..

..you think a Duff/Spears ticket would do well? Because thats what I was talking about.

[JohnKleeb]

18. Wouldnt Spears-Duff be better

Anyways as a guy with in that age system I doubt the girls would care.

20. That's the ticket!

Hey, John, we both endorse the same ticket! :)

4. Lost the VH1 primary

Oh well!

[elperromagico]

14. But he has a commanding lead in the QVC primary!

We can still win this thing, people!

[Bill of Rights]

6. It would be too weird if Clark won

They needed to have an entertainer win. But it's great that he was nominated. Lot of voters watch these kind of shows, and their interest might have be piqued.

7. And thats all that matters. . .

. . .the show was pre taped.

DL Hughley just dissed Bush. . .he came out in a flight suit with a banner that read "ooops."

[wndycty]

Biggest Mistake of the Year

Per DL Hughley is Iraq

The weapons of mass destruction.

8. Isn't that the "Commies"

Their comedy awards show?

OOOOPS.... that's the comedy channel

9. I'm surprised that they did not also nominate Dean.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

11. Clearly, VH1 is run by Republicans

So of course, they selected their main undercover operative, Wes Clark! Right?

[Bombtrack]

15. Dean's been running for over 2 years

and he's been involved in high level politics for decades

[maggrwaggr]

12. that may be the funniest headline post I've seen

that cracked me up. Probably because my 7 year old girl is an absolute Hillary Duff freak.

[Shakespeare]

16. I agree--best thread title EVER.

Cracked me up, too. :-)

[elperromagico]

13. Kim Jong is gonna be SO pissed off.

LOL

[RandomUser]

17. The dixie chicks deserved their win

It's cool how Clark didn't get the award, but did win the nomination. One nomination down, one to go. :)

19. P. Diddy threw a tantrum like a 2 year old

So they gave him a phoney baloney award.

I love the irony in that, because if Biggie didn't get blown away, Puffy would not be where he is.
