Clinon Loves the Rolling Stones

By wt

She can't wait for their new documentary:

Call her a Honky Tonk Woman: Hillary Rodham Clinton is a big fan of the Rolling Stones.

Speaking to reporters aboard her campaign plane Sunday morning, the Democratic presidential contender said she was eager to see "Shine a Light," the new documentary about the legendary rock band that was directed by Martin Scorsese and opens Friday.

Ok, a little surprising, and interesting enough news that CNN can report on it. Lately there's an emphasis on the sort of celebrity gossip style reporting that US Weekly or OK does if it's on the political candidates.

The film, chronicling a Stone performance at the New York's Beacon Theater in fall 2006, even features a clip of guitarist Keith Richards meeting Clinton's 88-year old-mother, Dorothy Rodham. The Clinton Foundation, the former president's philanthropic effort, held a fundraiser during one of the concerts.

Oh no. Are her motives genuine? Now we can't know. Maybe she just wants to promote the video so that she gets a little free air time.
