2/10    I like Woz, and I like iWoz, but let me tell ya, no one worships
        him because he has the charisma of an highly functioning
        Autistic person. Meanwhile, everyone worships Jobs because
        he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself
        as God. I guess this is not the first time in history. Case in
        point, Caesar, Napolean, GWB, etc. Why is it that people

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

8/5     Regarding NKorea relesing the journalists, here's what I think the
        actual deal between Kim and Obama is:
        - Both agree that Kim needs to save, or gain, face to pave the way for
          his son's succession and for NK's stability.
        - Both agree that Obama doesn't like losing face by publicly
          apologizing.

Sinbad Sinbad, performing in 2007 for shareholders of Wal-Mart. Hillary Rodham Clinton served on the board of Wal-Mart from 1986 to 1992. He just remembers it being a USO tour to buck up the troops amid a much worse situation than he had imagined between the Bosnians and Serbs. In an interview with the Sleuth Monday, he said the "scariest" part of the trip was wondering where he'd eat next. corkscrew landing in war-torn Bosnia, a trip she took with her then-teenage daughter, Chelsea. "What got me about Hillary was her attitude of entitlement, like he messed up her plan, like he had no reason to be there," Sinbad said. "My problem is -- you couldn't just temporarily hire a black man to play Obama? You couldn't find a light-skinned brother to play Obama?" The Clinton campaign doesn't seem amused by Sinbad's commentary or his recollection of the 1996 Bosnia trip as more depressing than harrowing. Defending Clinton's characterization of her Bosnia mission, campaign spokesman Phil Singer kindly provided experts from news stories written about the trip at the time, including a Washington Post story from May 26, 1996, that said, "This trip to Bosnia marks the first time since Roosevelt that a first lady has voyaged to a potential combat zone." Singer also cited a Kansas City Star article from September 2000 that quoted Sinbad as describing the situation in Bosnia as "so tense. He said, "At the time, we didn't realize how crazy it was between the Bosnians and the Serbs. ") Still, defending Clinton against Sinbad the refuter, Singer said, "The sad reality of what was going on in Bosnia at the time Senator Clinton traveled there as first lady has been well documented. It appears that Sinbad's experience in Bosnia goes back further than Senator Obama's does. Posted by: piper | March 11, 2008 01:36 PM Experience cheering up troops in war torn countries? Sinbad's going to make Hillary regret bragging about "corkscrew landings" and "incoming sniper fire." Posted by: carrie hussein | March 11, 2008 01:57 PM "In fact, has Senator Obama ever been to Bosnia?" I've been to countries that Hillary Clinton has never been to, so am I more qualified than she is? Posted by: HowardsJohnson | March 11, 2008 01:58 PM Sinbad: Experienced. Posted by: Kev | March 11, 2008 01:58 PM Give me a break Hillary. Who are we now going to believe the Kansas City Paper which took the press statement the White House put out or the comments from Sinbad who was there? As for the "Crips and Blood" comment, Sinbad was talking about the effects of the fighting between the two groups, not an actual war zone. Your spin team is great at spinning bull, but this time I think it has caught up with them. Posted by: Bill | March 11, 2008 01:58 PM " It appears that Sinbad's experience in Bosnia goes back further than Senator Obama's does. suggesting Sinbad's trip to Bosnia makes him qualified than Obama is remarkably absurd. Every time they make a snarky comment they just make themselves look like bigger a-holes. Posted by: UCLAdy04 | March 11, 2008 01:59 PM No, Phil Singer, the real question is: Has Senator Obama ever lied about his experience in Bosnia? Posted by: OAmerican | March 11, 2008 01:59 PM How long before we start seeing Sinbad introduce Obama at campaign rallies? If I were President, I don't think I would send my wife and daughter to a place where there could be sniper fire. Posted by: Harold in NC | March 11, 2008 02:00 PM Rumor has it Hillary's ready to roll out her "Big Gun" Pauly Shore in Pennslyvania. Sinbad/Crow 2008 Posted by: brevaldo | March 11, 2008 02:00 PM Hillary to Iraq. xml That is the story from David Trimble, Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of Northern Ireland. Posted by: Lynne | March 11, 2008 02:04 PM vote obama end the drama. Posted by: no billart | March 11, 2008 02:04 PM Greg Craig just released this memo a little while ago countering Northern Ireland, Bosnia, etc. aspx Posted by: Lynne | March 11, 2008 02:06 PM A potential combat zone? Freakin Compton California and Tiajuana Mexico are potential combat zones. Every day of the year for years and years with no UN intervention and not too many First Ladys' exposing themselves to the danger of a drive by or a failed drug deal. The vetted forign policy she touts and her aids tout is less dangerous than many places in America. Do you think perhaps the Chicago Ghetto and Projects that Senator Obama worked so hard in were not potential war zones? Posted by: mark musselman | March 11, 2008 02:08 PM And also, Sinbad, thanks for the OJ song! Even if we were in different class' of poverty and skin color. We are all the same if we take the time to listen to and respect the thoughts of others. We do not have to agree with everyone on each thought but we do have the ability to listen and reason. Posted by: mark musselman | March 11, 2008 02:10 PM I can't believe that this Singer guy is criticizing Obama because he's never been to Bosnia. Just because you've been somewhere does not mean you know anything at all about foreign policy. Clinton's biggest foreign policy decision was a total failure- her Iraq vote. She flunked the Presidential entrance exam big time - please keep her far way from that red phone. Posted by: Doug M | March 11, 2008 02:11 PM I would help fund the new campaign ad showing the 3 AM phone call. Posted by: steveboyington | March 11, 2008 02:13 PM Love it! Maybe he could get Obama to start wearing the "Dwayne Wayne" flip-up glasses. Hillary can counter with another washed-up comedian to help her. Posted by: steveboyington | March 11, 2008 02:22 PM This: 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." is perhaps the funniest thing any comedian anywhere has ever said. Every time I read it I laugh, and now colleagues are getting nervous. Posted by: Majorajam | March 11, 2008 02:24 PM This is the sort of article that the media needs to publish. And not just because it's funny, but because it actually investigates the claims of campaigns, rather than mindlessly repeating whatever you're told without taking any steps to verify it. Posted by: davestickler | March 11, 2008 02:25 PM Provided "experts" (sic). That kind of mistake decreases the credibility of the writer. Posted by: Scott Templeton | March 11, 2008 02:34 PM Most people don't read the whole article: He said, "At the time, we didn't realize how crazy it was between the Bosnians and the Serbs. Posted by: Robert | March 11, 2008 02:35 PM Olbermann should be booking him right now. Posted by: TennGurl | March 11, 2008 02:49 PM Majorajam, I'm with you. I was laughing so hard at that line, I had to go to the rest room so my co-workers wouldn't notice. Posted by: Gail | March 11, 2008 02:49 PM There's nothing quite as refreshing as running a 90's-style campaign in 2008. Give it up Hillary - you probably are nice in person as many people say, but your campaign image is that of a shrill, anachronistic throwback to days that are better left behind us. Your repeated attacks against Obama from the right - at a time when this country is absolutely sick of the right - are shameful and play right into the hands of Republicans. Sinbad should start opening for Obama on the campaign trail.... Posted by: Roger Clinton | March 11, 2008 02:53 PM I've been to France and Spain. I don't speak a single word of French or Spanish, not even enough to ask where the restroom is. I believe I pass the commander-in-chief standardized test, Mr Singer. Posted by: Todd | March 11, 2008 02:53 PM Gee, if only Sinbad had slept with Bill Clinton, then he'd have the same "experience" as Hillary and could be running for president. Posted by: Joey | March 11, 2008 02:58 PM wait, it's even better- Bill was also sending his young daughter into war zones as well. it seems she was on that same trip with mom and the comedian... yep, the DANGEROUS missions of Chelsea and Hills-- a new fantasy series starting this spring.
