Nicholson Endorses Clinton in You Tube Video

Three-time Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson announced his endorsement for Democratic candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a very original and successful manner. Nicholson released a video on You Tube featuring scenes from some of his most famous movies. The video has been viewed more than 1.2 million times.

The video is meant to help Clinton get into state primaries Tuesday in Texas and Ohio. The video contains excerpts from Batman, The Shining, Chinatown and A Few Good men.

Other celebrities endorsing Clinton are director Steven Spielberg, actress-singer Barbra Streisand and actress Eva Longoria-Parker.

On the other side, Obama enjoys the support of celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney and Robert De Niro.  Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons is has recently announced his endorsement for Obama.

A scene in the clip feature a well-known line of the Joker, the part Nicholson played in the 1989 Batman: “Hubba hubba hubba, money, money money, who do you trust?”

Using a line from the 1980 horror movie “The Shining,” he suggests “things could be a whole lot better.”

“There is nothing on this earth sexier, believe me gentlemen, than a woman you have to salute in the morning," Nicholson says in a clip from the 1992 military drama "A Few Good Men.”

During an interview with MTV, Jack Nicholson was asked why he decided to publicly endorse Hilary now. “Well I'm a longtime Clintonite. I guess that's no secret,” Nicholson answered.

Jack Nicholson was helped by director Rob Reiner to do the clip entitled ‘Jack and Hill.” His spokesman Yusuf K. Robb said “They decided to do this as something on their own to assist her campaign,” the AP reports.

Obama supporters responded with a video featuring other clips from Nicholson’s movies, in which he swears and throws dishes. “Sorry Jack. Vote Obama,” the video concludes.
