The video for the New Liberty song "Shake Shake" is done with a political twist with the 4 candidates for President and VP going into Club Risque and the plot unfolds from there. The anecdote serves as a metaphor providing commentary on the way Sarah Palin is viewed by many of her supporters, especially men, who are attracted to her for her sex appeal more than her qualifications.

1. Well, that was useless.

On a scale of 1 to 10 -- with 10 being perfect -- I give that a 3. Pointless, poorly produced music video with pedestrian music.

2. Hello - there is a point - you just don't get it.

Political metaphors twisted through rock'n'roll might be hard for some people to get the point. But I'm sure that most of us here have the intellectual capacity to understand the analogy. Plus, music is subjective, to each his own, so criticizing that part is just silly, especially since the video was professionally produced. Also, part of the problem with forums like this are the people who try to use their comments as a chance to rip on someone due to their own inferiority complex rather than respecting another person's freedom of expression.

3. No. It's run-of-the-mill video crap.

Sarah Palin with balls? Brilliant. And the Black man lusting after the white woman? Yeah, there's a new concept.

It sucks.

4. Yes - your opinion is crap. And No - the video kicks ass.

Yes. Brass balls. A metaphor you apparently don't get. Not surprising. Lusting after her? Maybe that's your own interpretation, but that is not the symbolism. Oh that's right - you don't understand symbolism.
