3. I think a better choice would be Mayor Nutt
He did a lot this past few weeks and brought in the Philadelphia vote for her.

17. Mayor "Nutt" seems more fitting than his real name, imo.

21. He was the first one to come out and say that her Bosnia account was bogus.
And her reply to reporters? "Sinbad's a comedian. Sinbad's a comedian."

And so are you, Hillary, if you expect us to believe the jokes you insist are true.

31. I was being cheeky...Sinbad is
my hero!

"In an interview with the Sleuth Monday, he said the "scariest" part of the trip was wondering where he'd eat next. "I think the only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place.'"

Clinton, during a late December campaign appearance in Iowa, described a hair-raising corkscrew landing in war-torn Bosnia, a trip she took with her then-teenage daughter, Chelsea. "They said there might be sniper fire," Clinton said.

Threat of bullets? Sinbad doesn't remember that, either.

"I never felt that I was in a dangerous position. I never felt being in a sense of peril, or 'Oh, God, I hope I'm going to be OK when I get out of this helicopter or when I get out of his tank.'"

In her Iowa stump speech, Clinton also said, "We used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor, send the First Lady."

Say what? As Sinbad put it: "What kind of president would say, 'Hey, man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot so I'm going to send my wife...oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you.'"

As you may have guessed by now, Sinbad isn't supporting Clinton for president. He's an Obama guy. All because of Clinton".

32. And. while we're at it - what kind of mother would (according to early versions of her story) go up
into the cockpit - the 'armored' portion of the plane - and leave her daughter behind,
to fend off the bullets by herself???

I could never get over that part of the story, and yet I never heard any remark about it at all.

Thanks for the reminder, hisownpetard.

11. When I read "his ability to withstand fire", I thought she had chosen her old
friend, B. L. Zebub.

12. She only did that out of spite
because Sheryl Crow endorsed Obama earlier today.

Now who will Grandpa McLoon pick up from "BosniaGate"??

23. Well, the only good thing that came out of Hillary's visit to Bosnia is that Sinbad
got his name in the news again.

Maybe he got a career bump out of it.

24. Has Sinbad endorsed anyone yet? He and Sheryl Crow should make an ad together,
standing on a tarmac with bullets and explosions going off all around them, endorsing Obama,
because "he won't lie to the American people."

33. DR. DOOM of Fantastic 4! Experience & ability to withstand fire + foreign policy expert.

And he's a sop to the disaffected mutant vote
who doesn't like the fact that Obama hosted an event
attended by notorious mutant rights terrorists
and refused to leave the room.
