Sinbad unloads on Hillary Clinton

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 this 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.

"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. "I got angry. I actually got angry! I said, 'I will be for Obama like never before.'"

1. Oh thanks so much, I've been very anxious to know what

Sinbad thinks. :sarcasm: By the way, who is Sinbad?

[babylonsister]

3. He was on that 'dangerous' trip to Bosnia with Clinton; did you

bother to read it? Her 'experience' seems overrated and overdramatized...

[Saturday]

19. Gee, an BO supporter bashing Hillary's experience. Amazing.

I really don't care what Sinbad thinks but I'm sure the kiddies around here do so it's all good.

[Tarheel_Dem]

25. you really are running out of sand to bury that head in....(eom)

[Tarheel_Dem]

6. Yeah...he's a foreign diplomat just like Hillary.

:rofl::rofl: :rofl:

[Not the Only One]

23. Secretary of State Sinbad

heh.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. Why not?

He has extensive foriegn policy experience.

:shrug:

[Saturday]

14. I think he has more than Barack actually. nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. Yeah, obviously.

Maybe he can be Clinton's secretary of state.

Sheryl Crow can be director of homeland security.

It's fun to pretend.

[goodhue]

9. NYT on 1996 Bosnia trip . . .

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0DE3D61139F935A15750C0A960958260

As soldiers nudged past each other for a chance to have their picture taken with Mrs. Clinton, Maj. Gen. William L. Nash, the commander of American forces in Bosnia, said: "Look at that. Look at those smiles. It really makes them happy to have her here."

Sgt. Errol Kennedy, from New York City, whooped to his friends: "She's the greatest First Lady we've ever had! I'm ready to spend another year here now."

But two soldiers next to him said they would just as soon go home now and let Sergeant Kennedy do their work.

Another soldier said he thought that it was all right for Mrs. Clinton to visit, but "everyone really wants to see Sheryl Crow and Sinbad."

2. Totally Sinbadular, Sinbad

:thumbsup:

[goodhue]

4. He Ain't Lyin'

[2rth2pwr]

5. Sinbad 'salso upset that SNL let a White actor portray half-white Obama

but is ok if a Black man plays him.

[Bake]

8. I don't suppose his bias is coloring his memory.

Of course, if you take a look at him, it's easy to understand why he's concerned about where/when the next meal is ...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. Why do you think he has a bias?

[grantcart]

12. given the fact that during the entire time in the former Yugoslavia the american

forces there didn't suffer a single casualty I think we can assume that this one of HRC's most ridiculous claims.

I hate anecdotal arguments because they are unfair but I will add that my cousin spent two years there in a staff position with the general command and said that the greatest danger was that there was so much affection for the American troops there that they were plied with sugary confections that he didn't think were very healthy to eat.

[Window]

31. Cute.

Not.

[Lucinda]

11. You forgot to snip this part.

"...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. It was Crips and Bloods." (And that's how Sinbad continued to characterize the situation in our interview Monday. He said, "At the time, we didn't realize how crazy it was between the Bosnians and the Serbs. I didn't realize how much hate was going on.")

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. In fact, has Senator Obama ever been to Bosnia?"

13. The only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place.'

That made me laugh so loud. I will smile for the rest of the day. :rofl:

[Skip Intro]

15. Sinbad? Gee, wonder who Pauly Shore is for.

:eyes:

[babylonsister]

21. Don't blame me; 'your' candidate took him on her little boondoggle.

:eyes:

[Skip Intro]

22. Seriously, if we are at a point where Sinbad has influence on this election, we have reached a sad

point indeed.

[babylonsister]

24. No, he's just confirming Clinton was less than truthful. I'm sure

you think that's sad.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

27. yeah, leave it to the legitimate commentators, like Tina Fey

Didn't you hear? She's so cool-she "Hilldog" now.

Someone should tell Ms. Fey that it's little hard to give a Golwater Girl, president of the Young Republicans and Wal-Mart board member street cred.

And as for Sinbad, by Hillary's "experience" standards, he's ready to answer that red phone, as he was on the trip with her.

[QC]

16. If she's lost Sinbad, can Urkel be far behind? n/t

[crispini]

26. SNORT!

:spray:

[annie1]

29. lol

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Yes she does seem to feel entitled

Sinbad nailed it with that comment.

[Jillian]

20. Sinbad? Is he still around?

Who cares what he thinks :crazy:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

32. apparently he's qualified to be commander in chief

by hillary's standards

your dismissive attitude of a legitimate point reminds me of the old GOP tactic of "who cares what these actors think?" Didn't you see Powell at the UN. Don't you hate America?

[knixphan]

28. "oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you.'"

priceless!

[IndianaGreen]

30. Hillary is not the first celebrity, political, or military figure to pad her resume

and sadly, she won't be the last!

[nomorewhopper]

33. HAHAHAHA go sinbad! hillary was EXPOSED as a fraud!
