Hillary needs a song?

Hillary Clinton wants everybody's help to chose a song...she's put nine choices up on her website to help you help her chose. Isn't that nice. It seems we women don't even know our own minds. She left off Merle Haggard's "Let's Put a Woman in Charge" off the list. Merle Haggard wrote and recorded that song special for her, and she doesn't see fit to include it on a list of choices for her campaign. I agree that Haggard is not the sort who would be considered sexy, not by city standards, but the guy's a living legend. He's had 40 number one hits, he's in the Country Music Hall of Fame, he's seriously influenced music for decades! His music is in the homes of millions of Americans. Yet the song he produced special for Hillary Clinton doesn't make the cut. I suppose having ten choices instead of nine was deemed too many. I don't know if the campaign actually commissioned the song or not, but as Haggard, his talent, his sweat, was disrespected by an ungrateful Hillary Clinton, I certainly hope he was paid for his time, his trouble, and the insult.
