This is the best of all possible Campaigns....

....because you get to see stuff like this:

Sinbad Unloads on Hillary Clinton


The only thing funnier than Hillary claiming to have vast foreign policy experience is Obama digging up Sinbad to slap her down on the particulars of her mission to Bosnia.

Some highlights:

Sinbad, along with singer Sheryl Crow, was on that 1996 trip to Bosnia that Clinton has described as a harrowing international experience that makes her tested and ready to answer a 3 a.m. phone call at the White House on day one, a claim for which she's taking much grief on the campaign trail.Harrowing? Not that Sinbad recalls. 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. "I think the only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place.'"

and then there's 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."

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.'"

Well, Sinbad, off the top of my head, I'd say an intern-diddling chicken-$%$# president like Bill Clinton would be the kind of president who'd say something like that.

Huge hat tip to Betsy!
