WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
Movie star Jack Nicholson has
assembled some of his more famous film roles in an Internet
video endorsing U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton that has been viewed more than 1 million times.
The video uses clips of the three-time Oscar winner in
movies like "Chinatown" and "The Shining" to praise Clinton's
health-care plan and ability to lead the country at a time of
war.
"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."
Clinton faces rival Barack Obama in a round of state
primaries in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island on Tuesday
that could decide who faces Republican John McCain in the
November presidential election.
"Hubba hubba hubba, money, money money, who do you trust?"
Nicholson asks in his role as the Joker from 1989's "Batman."
That's followed by a clip from the 1980 horror movie "The
Shining," in which Nicholson's unhinged character says: "Things
could be a whole lot better."
The video has been viewed more than 1.2 million times since
it was released on Friday, according to YouTube statistics.
Obama supporters have been quick to respond.
One video response uses other movie clips featuring
Nicholson swearing, ranting and throwing dishes.
"Sorry Jack. Vote Obama," that video concludes.
