Pundits were shocked this week when hackers announced that they had broken into Governor Sarah Palin's Yahoo email account and posted images of her correspondence on the internet. While this invasion of privacy raised many eyebrows in Washington, apparently, the 2008 Presidential candidates did not move quick enough to further protect their vital online information and, we're sad to say, the hackers have struck again. This time, MovieRetriever.com has been contacted by a group of computer pirates who claim to have hacked all of the candidates' personal Netflix accounts, revealing to the world the deepest, darkest secrets of their Netflix queues.

In a better world, we would shun such gross violations of personal privacy and refuse to reveal the information stolen from our hopeful presidential candidates. However, we don't live in that world, so here are the contents of their Netflix queues, complete with our own snarky commentary.

**********

Senator Barack Obama's Netflix Queue:

1. No Country for Old Men (2007) - He probably just likes the title.

2. The American President (1995) - Well, where else are his speech-writers supposed to get their material from? (For an interesting comparison between Barack's convention speech and Michael Douglas' ode to Sydney Allen Wade, click here.) 

3. The Contender (2000) - Obama keeps citing Jeff Bridges' President as his favorite big-screen Commander in Chief (Barack DID go to high school with Contender director Rod Lurie), but maybe he shouldn't keep praising a movie that lauds a president who makes the difficult choice of nominating a woman to be vice-president.

4. The Passion of the Christ (2004) - Not because the Democrats treat him like he's the Messiah. He's just still trying to convince people that he's not Muslim.

5. The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) - LOVES the scene with Miss Piggy and Joan Rivers at the cosmetics counter. Why? Because Rivers applies lipstick to a... yeah, yeah, we know he didn't really say it.

Senator Joe Biden's Netflix Queue:

1. The Lonely Guy (1984)

2. The Invisible Man (1933)

3. I'm Not There (2007)

4. The Man Who Wasn't There (2001)

5. The Vanishing (1993)

(Wow, is someone feeling ignored lately?)

**********

Senator John McCain's Netflix Queue:

1. 18 Again (1988) - McCain likes the concept, plus he used to baby-sit for George Burns.

2. Animal House (1978) - He's always loved the way that Kevin Bacon really sold the line, "Remain calm, everything is under control."

3. The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969) - McCain finally decided to see what all this "internet" fuss is all about.

4. We Were Soldiers (2002) - Don't know if he's ever mentioned it publicly, but did you know that McCain served in Vietnam?

5. Mamma Mia! (2008) - Seen the stage show 19 times, the movie 24 times in the theatre... McCain can not WAIT to finally be able to watch the magic at home and sing along to "Fernando" in the privacy of his own rumpus room.

**********

Governor Sarah Palin's Netflix Queue:

1. Mystery, Alaska (1999) - The title is descriptive enough, but why wouldn't Palin love this story about anonymous Alaskan work-horses who get the chance to face off with Eastern all-stars... and lose. Wait, never mind.

2. Jackie Brown (1997) - If only for the scene of Sam Jackson extolling the virtues of women in bikinis firing machine guns.

3. Juno (2007) - Why do people keep telling her to rent this one?

4. From Russia With Love (1963) - Watching this counts as foreign policy experience, right?

5. In The Company of Men (1997) - Helps her relax to watch misogyny and sexism on such a scaled-down, almost-cute level.

**********

And, as a special treat, the hackers also sent us...

President George W. Bush's Netflix Queue:

1. Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? (2008) - Dammit, he was hoping they'd find him in the end.

2. Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993) - Forget Jeff Bridges. LLOYD Bridges is Dubya's favorite on-screen prez.

3. Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2005) - Again, he was really hoping they'd find it and tell him where it is.

4. Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) - Bush is still pissed at Cheney for making him turn down that cameo.

5. Zombie Strippers (2008) - Those are like two of his favorite things in one movie. Score.

Are you skeptical about the validity of this information? (You should be. It's 100% B.S.) Are you having a hard time believing that McCain is such an ABBA fan? (OK, that part is true.) Sign up for a My VideoHound account today and let us know how you feel in the comments section below.
