Hillary: Barack isn't ready to be Commander in Chief, Clinton's: Former military advisors, "We think so."

Oh the irony, she is delicious.

Oh cheers!!! :)

It's true, just ask Obama advisor Susan Rice:

“Clinton hasn’t had to answer the phone at three o’clock in the morning and yet she attacked Barack Obama for not being ready,'’ Ms. Rice said. “They’re both not ready to have that 3 a.m. phone call.”

I coloned where I should have comma'd and comma'd where I should have coloned.

Excellent two 1-year secretaries and one from 27 years ago. But at least the old cat isn't fishing for a cabinet position.

I think the only 3 a.m. call Hillary has ever gotten is one where someone is telling her where Bill really is.

If laughing about that is wrong, I don't wanna be right...

Nice try. In the full context she's clearly saying that they're not ready for that phone call by the standard Clinton has set. She goes on to say:

The question is and what Barack Obama raised is, when that phone call is received for each of them for the first time, who’s going to make the right judgment? Who is going to make the right decision?

On the critical foreign policy issues of the day, whether it was a decision to go to war in Iraq or the decision to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt and beat the drums of war with Iran, Hillary Clinton has made the same wrong judgment as John McCain and George W. Bush. Barack Obama has made a very different judgment.

So neither one of them, and nor John McCain for that matter, have had that 3 o’clock phone call that others have had. And I think we have to be honest about that.

Bill Maher got it right.

The only emergency call Hillary has had to take at 3 AM was her husband asking her to come down to the police station with $500 and a pair of pants.
