Sinbad Speaks - FOR REAL!!!
TPM: Sinbad TRIED to give you the opportunity to lead with this story, but nooooooo, you were too busy posting poll numbers and cut-and-pasting campaign memos. So Sinbad said screw you, TPM! I'm taking my story somewhere else - THE WASHINGTON POST!
A few choice quotes from me, Sinbad!:
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.'"
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.'"
TPM, you had your chance and you blew it!
Sinbad doesn't need you! Sinbad will get his message out on his own!
Sinbad is back in the spotlight, baby!

Jesus H, TPM, your posting apparatus is as craptacular as your anti-Sinbad bias!
Give Sinbad some love, people!

Give Sinbad some love, people!
Sinbad, you're hilarious. Even when I thought you were for Hillary, you were still hilarious.
Now that you've come out for Obama, you're just about perfect.
Give Sinbad some love, people!

People, let's demand a front-page post! Rec this up! Sinbad needs your help! TPM has ignored Sinbad for too long!
TPM, tell the world about Sinbad!
Clinton/Sinbad '08 - We're both complete jokes!

Or rather:
Cliton/Sinbad '08 - Ones a joke, the other's a jokester!

Sinbad/Vaughn '08. - Buy One, Get One Free!
(Would it really be that different having Vince Vaughn in the White House after eight years of having Bill as the President? Watch out, interns!)

props sinbad.
i hope you stick around.
this place could use more laughs and perspective.
you should have known the WaPo would eat that up with a baby spoon.
TPM may have been a little too highbrow...

Hahahaha
I don't know if I ever actually laughed at a Sinbad joke until I read that. The Obama campaign needs to put him on staff to respond to the thrice-daily Wolfson conference calls.

Hey Sinbad! Nice to see you're finally getting the respect you deserve.
Why don't you give Sheryl Crow a call and you can iron out your rembrances together? Like, where you guys ate, what hotels you stayed out, stuff like that. Memories do fade with time, and it would be nice to touch base with her again, wouldn't it?

Sinbad, I think the fact that your posts keep disappearing from the recommended list is a sign of a vast anti-Sinbad conspiracy. You're speaking the TRUTH, man, and the world isn't kind to truth tellers. But rest assured we'll find your words, and follow you to whichever restaurant you choose.

Pretty soon Obama is going to have to do a group ad with the 3 am ad teenager, Sinbad, Nancy Pelosi, and the "fired up" little old lady. Sheryl Crow can provide the music.
(love you heaps Sinbad but gotta give love to Madam Speaker for her slapdown of HRC today!)

Obama already has the article linked on his main page.
Very funny stuff from the Sinbad.
BTW, We eat at the next place.

That is comedy gold. Obama should put Sinbad out on the stump!

It's all so sad, isn't it? Who uses TPM readers' blogs to relaunch his career? First the harem pants and now this - it's so embarassing, you don't know where to look...

Sinbad/Clinton 2008! Can't wait for the Sinbad-McCain debates.

If I were Vice Principal of posts at TPM, I'd give Sinbad a front page post today, tomorrow and yesterday.
And wtf is up with the Washington Post referring to Sinbad as a mere *actor*? Comedy giant, Humanitarian, future Nobel Peace prize winner (I predict) for his role in the liberation of Kosovo (up to and including a ground-breaking headlining gig at that strife-torn region's very first Comedy Store) is more like it.
It's gettin' so you have to start liberating other planets from the yoke of Venusian oppression in order to get some love from this MSM.
Sinbad/Flash Gordon '08!

I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about Sinbad on Olbermann later... he gave TPM a shout-out last night.

Thanks for keeping it real. And how was that Wal-Mart gig?

lol! Sinbad rocks. DO WE EAT HERE OR AT THE NEXT PLACE?!?! May be the best potential slogan I've ever seen.
Thanks for the laughs Sinbad, well done.

I'm enjoying your posts immensely...

Oh, is Sinbad is an expert on foreign affairs?
I don't think so. Anyone who listens to the comments of a comedian and takes them seriously is both naive and brainless. This is nothing but another personal attack on Hillary Clinton because she is a woman. The words of a comedian are worthless and meaningless!!
Wake up America!! Especially all of you young women out there!! Hillary's playing to get the number one spot in the Washingon boys club and they don't like it.
Go Hillary!! We Love You!!
Hillary '08

Please tell me the above post is satire.

So hard to tell -- really. I'm thinking the excessive use of double exclamation marks is the wink.
As for Sinbad, I've always thought the guy was quite funny and charismatic, and now he's coming to the aid of diminishing Hillary's credibility (apparently some think she has some left), for which I salute him. You go, Sinbad!
I've seen a few of his posts now, and was sure that it was a spoof, but now am losing confidence. Maybe it is really him?

If it's not satire, America is...
I tried to come up with a more accurate word, but fucked is the best I can do.

Sinbad is probably too modest to point this out, but he also has experience managing the federal bureaucracy, based on his performance as a postal carrier in the delightful 1996 comedy "Jingle All the Way".
His sensitive portrayal of a scheming but essentially good-hearted mailman clearly was the result of extensive research and preparation.
What sort of postal worker can spend the day running around town tracking down a toy robot for his kid? One that manages his time effectively.
We're all with you, Sinbad! I want to see you on the front page of TPM every day!
C'mon, Josh, give the guy his due!

If it's a sin, it's bad. If it's Sinbad, it's good.

WHO CARES REALLY BECAUSE THE COMMENTS MAKE PERFECT SENSE.
IT'S NOT SAFE FOR THE PRESIDENT BUT HE WOULD ALLOW HIS WIFE TO GO IN HIS PLACE WITH ACTORS NO LESS.
I BELIEVE SHE HAS WAAAAYY MORE EXPERIENCE THEN OBAMA - NOT!
IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT THE FIRST LADY HAS NO SECURITY CLEARENCE BUT SHE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PEACE AGREE IN IRELAND - WOW!
SHE WAS ELECTED TO U.S. SENATE SEAT. THE ONLY ELECTED POSITION SHE HAS EVERY RAN FOR. SHE GETS HERSELF PLACED ON THE SENATE ARMS COMMITTEE AS THE JR SENATOR FROM N.Y. THAT'S POLITICO PULL!
THE ONLY DECISION SHE HAD THAT WAS LIFE OR DEATH - SHE DIDN'T READ THE INTEL AND VOTE WITH BUSH. NICE!
