Huntsman Daughters At It Again, Bringing Huntsman ‘Back’ with Timberlake Tune

Who knew that GOP hopeful Jon Huntsman’s three daughters – Liddy, Abby and Mary Anne -- had decent voices? In their continuing campaign to promote their dear old dad as a solid potential commander-in-chief, the trio of Huntsman daughters have released an unofficial campaign song on YouTube set to the tune of Justin Timberlake’s SexyBack.

Seriously.

Among their lyrics:

“We’re bringing Huntsman back. The rest of them is one big circus act.”

“Herman Cain, we like your pizza but you can’t explain how 9-9-9 will get us back in shape so pass the pizza and we won’t complain.”

“Jon Huntsman, the real job creator.”

“The governor who stands for sanity.”

Late today, The Washington Post reported that an “advisor” to the former Utah governor's campaign isn’t impressed with the daughters’ video or Twitter feed (@Jon2012girls) and now considers them as having “gone rogue.” The Post quoted an unnamed aide as saying: “The girls were asked by a number of campaign officials to not release the video. The campaign was not informed of the release of the video. The video does not have a disclaimer and is not a campaign product.”

They need to seriously chill out. They’re his daughters doing what people their age do: Put stuff on YouTube. They’re enthusiastic about their father and, barring them doing, wearing or saying something highly inappropriate -- which they haven't done -- I don’t think that this video, and the one they did spoofing Herman Cain’s weird smoking ad, is doing Huntsman any harm. At this point, they’re getting more attention than their dad. And he could sure use the press.

Even Jon Huntsman's Daughters are Mocking Herman Cain's Ad

First it was their Twitter feed supporting their dad in his bid to win (or at least not embarrass himself) as he seeks the GOP presidential nomination.

Now three of the daughters of former Utah governor and former U.S. ambassador to China Jon Huntsman have donned fake mustaches and glasses to not just promote their father, but to give the needle to the surging Republican rival Herman Cain and his wacky smoking/weird smile spot.

Unlike the late night comedians though, the Huntsman women didn't turn to booze or illicit drugs in their mockery and they came thisshort of completely going over the top with Groucho Marx glasses.

Late Night Comedians Lampoon Cain Ad That Already Seems Like a Joke

While talking heads puzzled and puzzled over what on earth the slow-smile Herman Cain/chief of staff blowing smoking ad was trying to accomplish, late night comedians have taken great joy in mocking it.

Stephen Colbert did the best parody on Comedy Central of not just the eight-second smile bit, but had his staff do a series of “dangerous” things in phony Cain ads. I have a soft spot for Colbert's version of the elongated smile.

Over on The Late Show with David Letterman, he and his crack staff likewise took a stab at re-imagining Cain’s ad, throwing a smoking baby into the mix.

Conan O’Brien also made sport of the unorthodox commercial and had his staff do edgy things just before Cain’s drawn out smile appeared on the screen.

Cain certainly is getting a lot of free mileage out of his freaky web-based spot. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
