We can thank Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for making sarcasm hip. Irony is the new sincere. A nodding wink is the new bottom-lip bite. On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton released the following YouTube video, asking viewers to visit her Web site to select her campaign theme song. What's striking is that the video is all sarcasm. Hillary is being funny. And a little cute.
As for the song ballots, here are the choices:
"City of Blinding Lights" by U2. Key lyric: "Oh you look so beautiful tonight."
