I just saw the movie Election for the first time on cable about a week ago. The thought that immediately came to mind while watching the obsessed machinations of the lead character, Tracy Flick, was the similarity to Hillary Clinton in her campaign. Just out of curiosity I did a search on YouTube for Hillary and Tracy Flick and apparently I wasn't the only one who had this thought. Check out this VIDEO. It's hilarious!
BTW, didn't most of us know of a Tracy Flick in high school? In my case we had a male version of Tracy Flick (Mr. Flick) running for student body president in high school. I should have had the heads up that "Mr. Flick" was running for president when, a year before the election, he came over to our lunch table to shmooze even though we didn't know who the hell this guy was (he just transferred over to our school). Strangest conversation ever. No matter what we talked about, he always tried to steer it to the topic of better ways the school could be administered, a subject that didn't interest us at all. After we kept reverting the conversation back to hot looking cheerleaders, Mr. Flick left the table to go shmooze on the same unwanted topic at another table. Yeah, Mr. Flick kept up a friendly appearance up until the moment he lost the election the following year. After that he assumed a very cold demeanor. No more shmoozing at lunch tables.
So do any of you out there have any Tracy Flick stories of your own? If so, post them here.
And for another FUnnie video, check out the latest EDITION of NewsBusted.
PING!
Ha! I remember that movie!
Top 10
Oh, it's alive and well in all fields. It's these kind of people who gravitate toward politics. They're control freaks.

Top6?
Damn, top 10!
6?
10!(?)
haha, thats great!
We called those people votegetters and they would only talk to the peons just before an election. the girl votegetters would run around making the “v” for victory sign and grinning. Did you ever look for your Mr. Flick after high school to see what he had achieved?
I cant stand Hillary, but I still like Reese’s pieces ;)
So, does this mean that Cankles plagiarized Reese Witherspoon?
Somebody better alert the Slimes...
Great video spoof.
I dunno, Hillary sorta reminds me of (NOT Our Friend) Flicka...
Yeah. I had one accidental encounter with him and much later found him on the Web. E-mailed him a few times. He achieved a very minor bit of fame and then... well, better not go further than that.
I can’t view the youtube clip from work, but that is one of my favorite movies. I have always seen Tracy as a young Hillary.
