Footprints in the Sand
Dear Friend,
Have you noticed the pattern?
Every time Fake Sinbad’s campaign demonstrates its strength and resilience, people start to suggest that hey, maybe the guy with the silly name and hammer pants and no chance of winning should end his pursuit of the Democratic nomination.
Those anxious to force Fake Sinbad to the sidelines aren't doing it because they think he’s going to lose the upcoming primaries. The fact is, they're reading the same polls he is, and they know he’s in a position to win.
A position to win your hearts.
In three days, Fake Sinbad faces a critical March filing deadline -- another chance to show the strength of his campaign. Fake Sinbad isn’t sure what the filing deadline is for, but he does know this: Fake Sinbad is not going to simply step aside. You and Fake Sinbad are going to keep fighting for what you believe in, and at the end of the day, America is going to win. What it wins is still anybody’s guess. But my guess is that America will win one of those really big stuffed bears that you get at the fair that falls apart after a few days.
The fact remains: millions of voters are still waiting to have their say. Let's make sure they have a chance to be heard – for starters, open mic night is this Tuesday, and be sure to get there early because last time we had a few people who signed up late and didn’t make it on stage.
Finally, there have been some of you who have wondered where I have been these last 10 years. After the success of such family friendly friends as Jingle All the Way and First Kid, you ask: "Where did you go, Fake Sinbad?"
Friends, it was in those times when you needed Fake Sinbad the most that he carried you. If you couldn't feel him holding you up, it was probably because he slipped a mickey in your drink.
And in times like this, with everything on the line, it means so much to Fake Sinbad to know that Fake Sinbad can rely on you to meet the challenges that we as a country face head-on.
Thank you for everything,
Fake Sinbad

After the success of such family friendly friends
That's what happens when Fake Sinbad gets emotional and pours his heart out to his supporters. He makes mistakes.
Fake Sinbad still wants your vote.
If he can't have that, he'll take a Whopper and fries.
Sinbad/Clinton '08 - TGIF!

Would you and your followers please read the thoughtful questions I've posted here and respond with care? Thanks very much,

I've just sent Sinbad/Clinton08 $50.01 through my Paypal account.
I urge others to do the same.

I need to get something straight. If someone takes a shot at you, you're history because you can't dodge sniper fire. Then your VP, a proven dodger, takes over as POTUS. The voters need to take this into account.

I believe he's referring to the other Clinton (Hillary), and not the dodger.

Fake Sinbad, I feel you're really missing a crucial opportunity you have in the upcoming PA election: after all the time you spent in Pittsburgh filming Houseguest, we Pittsburghers feel a true connection. And yet only mentions of First Kid and Jingle All the Way. As if we mean nothing to you...
I mean, how could you forget the unity we all felt after seven police cars burst on to the scene in chase of armed robbers? Those are the moments that stay with us...

It's okay, Fake Sinbad, you are clearly sleep-deprived,
You stand up for yourself. They're just trying to bring you down. Just because you're not actually a candidate they think you can't win!

OMG, Fake Sinbad! I just got it. Whopper...Hillarys "whopper"
LMFAO
You slay me like a million tiny little snipers.

Fake Sinbad, you had a chance. You could have said,
You could have said,
Had you said anything like that, I might have forgiven you. But instead, what do we get? Spin, spin, and more spin. OK, you tell us, food wasn't a problem in Bosnia, but toilets were a problem, yeah, toilets. Fake Sinbad, I've seen the photos of you sitting in the cush army latrine with the talking Japanese toilet. Then you tell us that you made mistakes but that you're here when we really need you. Bullshit. We've needed you for 8 horrible years, while you've been merrily animal-trafficking in oppressed Eastern European dictatorships. We don't need you anymore. We've got Fake Rambo and Fake Mark Penn and a whole fake universe of fake avatars. Crawl back in your hole, Fake Sinbad. You're the fake past. It's time for the fake future.

If only JJR had known that Sinbad was rocking in out in South East Asia! We totally could have partied. Er, I mean, we could have fought and captured cobras for prize money to help out at the monastery. Yeah.

Harsh Genghis, guess you're not named Genghis for nothin.
Would you ever really be satisfied? What if Fake Sinbad were to admit that he, like Hillary, ate live babies while in Bosnia? (We all know thats the only thing that keeps her alive).
I bet your not even really Genghis Khan. Fake Genghis Khan. Go eat live babies with Hillary. We all know you want to.

I'm Genghis, just Genghis. The same way Sinbad is Sinbad. There is a Khan running around this blog somewhere, but I haven't seen him lately. And so what if I eat babies. I never pretended to be a saint. Unlike a certain phony fake comedian who conned us into giving him love, repeatedly. I gave Fake Sinbad love, just like the rest of you. What has it gotten us? We're still at each other's throats, slogging through an endless primary while Republicans laugh at us and troll our blogs. What has Fake Sinbad done about the Republican trolls? Nothing. What has Fake Sinbad done about the bug that logs me out every 48 seconds? Nothing. Fake Sinbad is a false prophet. You drank his kool aid, joined his cult, and clicked his recommend button, hoping for salvation. But he's nothing more than an empty suit full of false promises. It's time to throw Fake Sinbad under the bus. It's time for Fake Sinbad to concede.

I've seen him too. But I thought it was the guy spouting passages from Moby Dick trying to kill Capt. Kirk.

*gasp*
Wait, wait -- you mean....Sinbad's not really Sinbad?
So who do I vote for? The real Sinbad or the fake Sinbad?
This is important, you know, because the real Sinbad might be related to the fake Sinbad, and if that's the case then maybe if I vote for one, I get the other one too. That would be really cool, because then I'd get a 2-for-1 special!!!
But, if the real Sinbad is actually Sinbad, and the fake Sinbad is actually a white Evangelical preacher who spouts bad things out of his mouth about the ethnicity of the real Sinbad, well, golly, I need to know that.
Then again, since I'm agnostic, I guess it doesn't really matter.
Still, I think I should vote for Sheryl Crow, because, you know...she's a woman. And she was dissed once, by none other than Dick Cheney. Or was that Karl Rove? No, no...I think it was Dick's daughter. Ummmm, but then again, it might have been Bush's daughter. You know, the ugly one, who isn't having a wedding. Oh, wait. That's Chelsea, the daughter of Hillary and Janet Reno (hey, it's true -- John McCain said so!!).
Then again, oh...I dunno anymore. I think I'll just sit this election out. It's just too divisive.

The "real" Sinbad is 848 years old, (or older than McCain, ) and he isn't interested in politics as he has a big blue, (maybe green) genie that supplies anything and everything he wants. On Demand. Just like your cable provider, if you have enough $$$ to spend every month.
Vote for whichever Sinbad you prefer and rest assured, they're all fakes.
Just ask the monkey.

Dear Sinbad,
And I address you proudly without qualifiers.
You, fake or otherwise, are more real than any other Sinbad, real or otherwise, could possibly be.
You are a Sinbad that can't be Xeroxed.

Um, I'm confused here, Fake Sinbad? What about the Mirage Sinbad and the EmptyPants Sinbad? Which one is dodging non-existent sniper fire with which Hillary?

Dear Fake Sinbad,
There are whispers that you may be offered the governorship of NY, now that B. Clinton has shot the offer down for HRC. Think about it: you could be the second black governor of New York!
Sinbad/Sinbad '08: The black governor that doesn't snort coke at a Travelodge with hussies.

Who's on first?
Who's on second?
Who's on top?
You, or Sheryl?
National inquiring minds need to know (for some reason).
