Finally, the Barack Obama campaign has found a big gun to help shoot down Hillary Rodham Clinton's self-proclaimed foreign policy experience. And he may be the wackiest gun of all: Sinbad, the actor, who has come out from under a rock to defend Obama in the war over foreign policy credentials.
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.'"

Leave Sinbad alone..I like Sinbad. He said he never uses foul language because he promised his Grandmother he’d never use dirty language and he doesn’t. He kept his word.

Are you trying to resurrect an old story?

Yeah Sinbad as an actor is as laughable as this:
To: red flanker
“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.” “
Seems someone needs an editor. Provided experts of news stories or excerpts? Uh oh.

Maybe they meant they were excerpts experts.
Lather, rinse, repeat. The spin cycle continues

It makes him an honorable guy (which, actually, is probably the antithesis of an actor).
To: Puppage
He’s a just as good if not better than 90% of what I see out there.

He said we would be out by Christmas. He just never said which Christmas.

"Does that make him an actor?"He has had major roles in movies, which does make him an actor. Not saying whether it makes him a good or bad one.

Are you kidding me? Sinbad is, as well as an EXCELLENT stand up comic (who doesn't use foul language) a FINE and ACCOMPLISHED actor......
......as long as the role you wish him to play is Sinbad.
