[http://youtube.com/watch?v=-Sudw4ghVe8 "Hott4Hill video on YouTube"] ] American singer and actressTaryn Southern wrote the song and performs in the video. "Hott4Hill" was debut-directed and executive-produced by screenwriter David Garrett.The video is an answer video to the sexually-themed "
I Got a Crush on Obama " video also found onYouTube , early in the video the singer refuses to answer an incomingcell phone call purportedly from Clinton opponentBarack Obama . The "answer" task is made more complicated, however, by the common gender of the performer and politician. Southern, while acting as aschoolteacher addressing a class of young children, sings and dances in a variety of revealing costumes and in a sexually ambiguous manner in support of Clinton [ [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,288974,00.html "Video Send-Up of Hillary Clinton by 'American Idol' Contestant Walks a Sexual Line"] ] [ [http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/07/11/hott-4-hill-counters-obama-girl/ "‘Hott 4 Hill’ counters ‘Obama Girl'"] ] , going back and forth between how she admires her leadership qualities and how she admires her looks and body, and insinuates that she desires Clinton in a sexual manner. At one point in the song, she says "I know you're not gay, but I'm hoping for Bi ... lingual." At another point the visually anticipated word "thighs" is replaced by "policies".Within two weeks "Hott4Hill" had 600,000 views on
YouTube , and Southern was gaining national media attention. To clarify the sexuality question, Southern said onCNN that she is straight. [ [http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272614682.shtml "Hillary Girl Taryn Southern: Lesbian "Hott4Hill" Video Online"] ]References
