Sinbad WILL NOT pipe down!
Sinbad wants to know: where is the love, TPM? A day after the world is made aware that I, Sinbad, have crossed the Commander-In-Chief threshold of foreign policy experience, you give me - what else? NO LOVE!
Look, maybe Sinbad was too angry or aggressive in his post yesterday. Sinbad knows from his experience solving the refugee crisis in Kosovo with Sheryl Crow and Hillary Clinton that anger is never a good way to commence negotiations.
So here's what Sinbad is going to do. Sinbad is going to sweet-talk your pleated goddamn Dockers off. And Sinbad is pretty damn sure that you're going to like it. How does Sinbad know this? Because I'm Sinbad, and you are not. Because I, Sinbad, pass the Commander-in-Chief threshold and YOU. DO. NOT.
TPM, Sinbad usually likes the coverage that you provide in terms of elections and politics and so on and so forth. But lately you've been slipping. And don't think that it's because Sinbad's a partisan looking for good press for Sinbad's gal or guy - let it never be said that all Sinbad cares about is finally getting a brother to step to the White House. Come on, you know Sinbad better than that! Sinbad's got mad love for both Clinton and Obama. Sinbad's not looking to get into the game of who is or is not the rightful heir to sit upon the throne of the presidency and finally wear her tiara of power, and who is or is not the young, charming, hard-working black person who should get in line behind that other person as that other person's VP.
Sinbad just doesn't want to GO THERE. Sinbad knows that down that path leads trouble. Sinbad knows all about taking a wrong turn on the path that is thing we call LIFE. Remember Necessary Roughness? Yeah, neither does anybody else. You see Sinbad's point.
Look, Sinbad's getting off-track. Sinbad is even starting to confuse Sinbad. Basically, Sinbad doesn't want you to think that his goal is to get in the middle of all of this election nonsense. Sinbad wants one thing and one thing only:
DO A FRONT PAGE STORY ABOUT ME!
You don't get it, do you? Sinbad's been forced to do really bush-league crap like Cuttin Da Mustard and Slacker Cats. Sinbad needs to get back IN THE SPOTLIGHT!
SO DO A FREAKING STORY DETAILING HOW I - SINBAD! - OPENED THE BORDERS OF KOSOVO!!
I passed the Commander-in-Chief threshold! I risked my life to bring the funny! I wore my most glittery Hammer pants! I was the body guard of the President's son in the film First Kid! I got an eraser-top haircut with those fade lines in the sides!
WHY ARE YOU SITTING ON THIS STORY? THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT SINBAD AND HILLARY DID IN KOSOVO!
Please, give Sinbad some love. Rec this story up, people!
Sinbad NEEDS YOUR LOVE!!

What gives TPM? Why all the anti-Sinbad bias?

It's not your fault Sinbad, those computer courses you took at Hillman College were way before the they built this 'series of tubes.'

Sinbad, get off the fence brother. It ain't gotta be like that. You know Obama is a much better choice than Mama.

Sinbad, every time I see your picture (going back to the billboard on I-95 advertising your appearance at the Dover Downs 3 years ago), I can't help but loudly declare, "Sinbad wants BUTTER!"
I think there's just something about your toothy grin and antic nature that suggests this.

Sinbad's already gone over this! While Hillary and Sheryl were singing along to Neil Diamond songs, Sinbad was doing his job:
SAVING THE WORLD ONE REFUGEE AT A TIME!
Maybe you would have known that if the press and the media actually DID THEIR JOBS!
Clinton/Sinbad '08: Hey Democrats, you like black guys? How about Sinbad!

Sinbad is replying to Sinbad's own comment. Sinbad's not sure that last part came across the way he wanted it to. Sinbad wants you to think of Hillary Clinton's voice when you read the soon to be famous campaign slogan, "Hey Democrats, you like black guys? How about Sinbad!"
Bill and Hillary Clinton love pandering to African-Americans! Sinbad should know - Sinbad is one!
Sinbad passes the Commander-in-Chief threshold! So put Sinbad on the ticket!
Clinton/Sinbad '08 - We've already forgotten about that Obama guy! Vote for us, we're all about CHANGE!

Now is the time for Sinbad to reach out to Hillary Clinton's supporters by letting it be known that he would be willing to consider her for VP on his ticket.
Sinbad/Clinton '08 -- Have you ever been experienced? They have.

That's a good point. Sinbad needs to think about that. But Sinbad definitely likes where you're coming from.

Hey, Sinbad, when people call at 3am wanting to eat our children, are you going to pick up or just go over and Tae Bo their asses?

Hey Sinbad :)
I'll show you some love. LUV Sinbad!! How was that?
Nice to see you out and about.

Sinbad is on an f'ing roll, LMAO!!!!
You wore glittery Hammer pants in Kosovo? As impressed as I was before about what you accomplished in Kosovo I am speechless now.
But what's with all the 3rd person references and replying to yourself all about? That's a bit disconcerting. :P
BTW...you HTML codes looked fine to me. I have no idea why they didn't work.

Sinbad has saved our world. And it's about time, damn it.
'More than just a fairytale!
Give him lots of love. Front page story, now.
BTW, Sinbad, have you got anything on the Canadian Premier's chief of staff?

This is day two of the Sinbad firestorm, and this story will not go away! Prediction: Sinbad is the new Lacy Peterson. Precition #2: Chris Matthews will replace the "Matthews Meter" with a "Sinbameter."

You still have eligibility Sinbad! I remember! Sinbad/Bakula 08' most definitely crosses the Commander-in-Chief threshold because we all know you don't win ballgames without defense but and yet everyone needs a zealous rough-riding old-timer to throw the ball. Bush had Cheney, you'll have Bakula.
Sinbad knows the country needs Sinbad.

At least David Adkins a.k.a. Sinbad has a forum at TPM as his career is non-existent. Too bad Tae Bo didn't make you an action hero but I guess there is a limited demand for overweight middle aged action heroes. Good stand up comedy work though.

There always has to be a turd in the punch bowl. Congratulations, sir, for being that turd.

Sinbad should stop referring to himself in the third person and Sinbad should think about getting a new agent if the last gig the agent got Sinbad was in a warzone.

Sinbad will have you know that Sinbad recently appeared in the hit film Cuttin Da Mustard. Sinbad doesn't need an agent!
People who have crossed the Commander-in-Chief threshold don't need agents!

Sinbad thinks you don't know what it's like to pass the Commander-in-Chief threshold!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. This isn't Dead Poets Society. I'm not Robin Williams. Don't go all, "O Captain, My Captain!" on me.
Only Sinbad is Sinbad.

I'll show you some love, but I'm an Obama girl... since you have cred with foreign policy a la Clinton, you will have my vote should HRC get the nod.
P.S. Greetings from a fellow former SW Michigan resident now residing in CA. Peace.

Hey, Sinbad, were you in Northern Ireland or did Hill broker that deal on her own?

I'm frightened by someone who refers to himself in the third person.

Yeah, sure, but he makes for the perfect Clinton VP, right?
"Ba, da, bump, bump."

Bob Dole agrees with you. He said, and I quote:
He did so while waving a pen I think.

Sinbad, can we get your take on the breaking (outside of TPM) Geraldine Ferraro comments?
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."
Are you feelin' the love? As a Clinton supporter, you must be pretty happy to have Ferraro rockin' the house!
