It was a couple of months ago that we all stared agape at Hillary Clinton audaciously basing her ceaseless claims of foreign policy "experience" on a putatively death defying goodwill mission to Bosnia that included "singer" Sheryl Crow, first daughter Chelsea, and "comedian" Sinbad. To many of us, given the company Hillary was keeping, the mission looked and sounded a lot like a typical First Lady errand.
Today, Obama-supporting funnyman Sinbad (who actually was quite funny alongside the still-missed Phil Hartman in 1995's "Houseguest") drove the final nail into this controversy:
"I never felt that I was in a dangerous position," said Sinbad. "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.'"
I know Sinbad asks the question rhetorically, but…
