Wonkette

Couldn't her account be just as easily dismissed with a "She's a politician, you know"?

I knew Sinbad and madam, you are no Sinbad.

I've been aching to use this link all day and I want to thank Sinbad for giving me that opportunity

+ Watch video

@Harbls: didnt robin williams make a movie that wasnt very funny about how comedians are more trustworthy then politicians.

What's Whitley up to these day? We haven't seen her fine southern-accented ass in a while.

She has never before betrayed how out of touch she is. Sheryl Crow is also a "musician" as far as I know.

Hillary needs to chill with the comedian bashing... from what I hear, Sinbad rolls deep. You don't want to get a knock on the door from Yakov Smirnoff. Or even worse, Gallagher. He's got that fucking sledgehammer.

Sinbad? Chelsea/Hillary? SHERYL CROW???? Jeez, no wonder they were slaughtering everyone

Some of Sinbad's other colleagues on "A Different World":
- Patti Labelle (7 episodes)
- Bill Cosby (3 episodes as "Dr. Cliff Huxtable)
- Jada Pinkett-Smith
- Marisa Tomei
and my personal favorite:
- Congresswoman Maxine Waters (2 episodes as backup singer #2)

She stoops to...no, not conquer.... what's that word again?.... oh, yeah:....LOSE!

@ballin:
Both trifling and shameful.

@OnYourEnemiesList: You're right. I should've said, "Couldn't her account be more easily dismissed..."

Oh, and you needn't've said "didnt robin williams make a movie that wasnt very funny..." That's redundant.

@23_Skidoo:
I'm Black Gallagher, bitch!

Magical Leprechaun Flute is my new Craiglist handle.

Sinbad's a comedian?

what does hillary have against fatties?

I was in LA for the '92 riots, and the only two people on TV calling for ending the riots were Sinbad and Tom Petty. Every other celebrity, I assume, was holed up in their panic rooms with an armed guard.

Same tactic as her run for the White House.

"He's a nigger, you know..."

Sinbad will surely trash her in his next HBO comedy special.

Oh...

@Botswana Meat Commission FC:

LOLOLOL

Sorry to be mean, but, uh, there seems to be a theme today: unfunny people who claim to be comedians. First, Tracy Morgan. Now, Sinbad. Folks: these guys are not funny. Hillary's unintentional comedy is funnier on any given campaign day than these doofuses.

Take what she says w/ a grain of salt.

She's a Clinton, you know.

@Botswana Meat Commission FC:

"He's Black Gallagher you know"

It's a non-denial denial. If he's "just" a comedian, why was a big world leader like her wasting her time with him on her big critically important peace mission?

Sinbad is America's Entertainer like Rich Little is America's Entertainer.

@DrDungButter:

Booo:

[tooclosetocallithink.ytmnd.com]

The First Lady was probably briefed on the people she'd likely to meet, the message she's being asked to communicate and special precautions were made to insure her saftety, as the General agrees in his quote.

While on the other hand, Sinbad's manager said - "Hey. You should volunteer for the troop thing. I'm sure it'll be safe. Hillary will be with you and they're not going to let anything happen to her, plus you'll get on CNN and we have that tour of casinos to promote".

I always coveted Sinbad's Leonard Part 6 -style suits.

...can we really trust someone with the name "Sinbad"?! I mean he is obviously a filthy MUSLIM just like Hussein Obama and the Oprah!!!

I preferred The Keenen Ivory Wayans show, myself.

@DrDungButter:
I love when he shoots the watermelon and the audience member in the front row catches a bullet. Hilarious.

She's asking us to accept that "mission" as part of her foreign policy experience, so comedian or not, I'm hoping Sinbad answers that phone at 3 AM.

That Politico piece is chock full of juicy quotes. (Possibly the first time that sentence has ever been written.) My favorite:

General Togo West... then vouched for her. "It was a hot zone, it was a combat zone, and they needed to be very careful with the then-first lady," he said, adding, though, of the evasive maneuvers, "I think our pilots were actually showing off a bit."

Translation: "Our pilots were hotdogging in a shameless attempt to impress Sheryl Crow out of her panties. That's how serious this mission was."

Oh no she di ... n't! (snap!) That's right, it's ON now!

@FlakJack: Cockpit, Cheryl Crow, First Lady, Sinbad - which one doesn't belong.

She'd better watch her mouth. The Republicans will use that line against Al Franken.

This doesn't bode well with how she will treat Wonkette when elected president...

"You can't trust that Eac... he's a Wonketter, you know."

If Hillary thinks Sinbad is a comedian, how can we trust her judgement on who is a terrist and who isn't?

Probably spoken like Sybil Fawlty's dismissal of Manuel: "He's from Barcelona you know ..."

Did Sinbad kill that leopard with his bare hands? More importantly, why wasn't Alanis Morisette on that mission? Was she busy touring in support of her smash LP Jagged Little Pill? Or did she already have another record out by then? Because I can't remember. I was too busy drinking clear Pepsi and racking up hundred dollar AOL bills.

Yet again, Hillary hits a homerun to my mother's heart. I mightest as well get a fade haircut and ugly "Hammer" pants for my next visit home. Get it out the way quick!

Well, now the only person who can break this tie is Crow. Either she's on the side of truth, justice, and Clinton, or she's harboring a "comedian" terrorist who sports a cameo cut.

Someone draw a cartoon of Hilary as the Roc, quickly!

I would like to go on record as (apparently) the ONLY fan of Sinbad in existence. (Based only on the standup I've seen him do. . . . I'm not familiar with his movies or TV shows.)

Then again, I was also a fan of Gilbert Gottfried back in the day. Did he get sent into a war zone as well?

Didn't Sinbad make a movie playing a Secret Service agent guarding the President's daughter?

And no, I didn't see it.

Ringo: Suburban Commando? The Sitter? Stepfather? The President's Neck Is Missing?

BTW, Ed McMahon just reported back from the impromptu Star Search panel (Philip Michael Thomas, Rowena, Lew Wasserman, and Andrew Ridgeley) that Hillary's campaign gets NO FUCKING STARS.

At least Hilary didn't say, "He's a black comedian, you know."

And further proof that Hillary can be whatever Hillary wants, and has been winning the election all along, and has defended us against terrorists for hundreds of years, and wrote the Constitution, and lead the Union army.
Never mind polls, or reality, or anything else, this is Hillary Clinton were talking about here.

@ProfessionalGun: If you enjoyed Sinbad's stand up career, you'd enjoy his movies.

But where was Bobcat Goldthwait when this was all going on? Has he endorsed anyone?

Sinbad is actually in line for Secretary of the Navy in a Clinton Administration. He's a sailor, you know.

Ha Ha Ha Ha "President McCain" Ha Ha Ha Ha
You can't spell "unity" with a dictionary.
Obamanation can't win with only 25% of the vote.
I hear he wants to keep Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State, bring back Colin Powell as Secretary of Defense and nominate Snoop Dog as Secretary of the Interior and Marijuana Production. Ha Ha Ha Ha "President McCain" Ha Ha Ha Ha. Keep trashing Hillary so you kan gives da Publicans da biggest landslide in da history. Ha Ha Ha Ha "President McCain" Ha Ha Ha Ha

Sinbad sounds like kind of a Middle-Eastern, Muslim name.

Ha Ha ha President McCain Ha Ha Ha
Obamnation can't win with 25% of the vote.
Keep trashing Hilary and her supporters
will cast thier votes elsewhere.
Ha Ha ha President McCain Ha Ha Ha

The fact that she would even travel with Sindbad speaks volumes to her respect for the black man in America.

Ha Ha Ha President McCain!

"He's a comedian, you know," she said.

Can we expect MediaMatters and/or other organizations to post the video and debunk this terrible lie?

Osama/Binbad 08! Er, i mean O'bama/Holy Spirit 08!

I miss Ron Paul...the Paultards (sniff)...the blimp....

Yep, and ain't damn thang funny.

Sinbad's catchphrase is "I wasn't dodging bullets in Bosnia!"

By "You Know." she meant, "They all vote for Obama anyway." but I think she meant comedians... They like Obama... easier to get a joke out of...

@superfectablog: oh yeah, I likes that Bobcat...now THERE'S a comedian!

@Chapelle: well it's obvious who AIN'T a comedian 'round here...(BTW, where is Mr. Chapelle these days...back in rehab? He USED to be my favorite black comedian

@ProfessionalGun: I think the hate for Sinbad stems largely from the fact a lot of these folks were in elementary school when Sinbad was in his standup prime. That dude was funny. As an actor, not so much. Robin Williams was funny in the early '80s, too.

@ProfessionalGun: Yes, Sindbad fans seems to be a dying breed these days. And now Hillary has your IP address. It's been nice knowing you.

And Sinbad wasn't in Bosnia as a comedian. He was in country as a Secret Service agent, guarding Chelsea. Didn't any of you see First Kid?

She was just repeating how she introduced Sindbad when he came out in front of a group of perplexed Bosnians, who were all standing around muttering "Colin Powell? Is that Colin Powell? Why is he not wearing his uniform?"

Hillary's such a boring, lousy actress, she and her similarly-programmed team can't even come up with a lame Arabian Nights reference.

Sinbad? He kicks ass, baby! Roc-on!

When Sinbad did a show at Zanies in Nashville this winter, I quietly chuckled to myself when I saw folks waiting in line. Little did I know that I was missing out on such a hot newsmaker.
