She slept with Kid Rock. Need we go on?

Too late. That “one-sheet-of-TP” thing did it for me.

Trust me. I will.

Because, seriously, we’re listening to Sheryl Crow?

Anybody brings in Carrot Top or Yahoo Serious, I am fucking outta here.

Clearly there is an opposition of views here. Clinton, however specifically worded, said they were warned the landing is dangerous and Sinbad says there was no sense of imminent danger.

Does it have to be as clear cut as Clinton saying, verbatim, “There was a corkscrew landing as we dodged sniper fire” and Sinbad providing the exact quote “There was no corkscrew landing and we didn’t dodge any sniper fire.”

What exactly happened? Is Clinton’s version right? Is Sinbad’s? Dunno. But clearly there is room to be skeptical.

Is Mr. Sinbad saying there wasn’t a “hair-raising corkscrew landing”? I missed that. Is he saying that they weren’t told there might be sniper fire? I don’t see that either.

He does say “I never felt a sense of being in peril,” which contradicts neither statement. However it does contradict other statements of his own.

And why the hell are we parsing the words of freakin’ Sinbad anyway?

See? That, right there. It’s why I’m finding it really hard to agree with Hillary supporters. If it’s truly a she said/he said situation, then neither side can be taken as being the final word. Yet, the Hillary side comes up with
sarcasm (”Wow, that’s a powerful refutation you’ve got there.“),
exaggeration (”And so because of that “vibe” you’re predisposed to accept anything negative said about her?“),
just plain silliness (and pots calling kettles black) (”I just wonder if he really saw what he said he saw (why would an Obama supporter shade the truth)“) and
back to sarcasm (”Who are you going to believe, lying liar Hillary Clinton or straight-shootin’ Sinbad?“).

Just about anything other than a fair, equal evaluation of the comments being made.

Who are you going to believe, lying liar Hillary Clinton or straight-shootin’ Sinbad?

Does it really come to this?

What’s politics for, again?

Clinton, during a late December campaign appearance in Iowa, described a hair-raising corkscrew landing in war-torn Bosnia, a trip she took with her then-teenage daughter, Chelsea. “They said there might be sniper fire,” Clinton said.

Threat of bullets? Sinbad doesn’t remember that, either.

“I never felt that I was in a dangerous position. I never felt being in a sense of peril, or ‘Oh, God, I hope I’m going to be OK when I get out of this helicopter or when I get out of his tank.’”

Sounds like a contradiction to me.

What does Sheryl Crow say? She was also there.

What does the military say? They would have been aware of the situation and should have records of the trip.

Hillary on the other hand seems to take a “my way or the highway” approach. This will ensure that every piece of major legislation that we need enacted will suffer the fate of her healthcare reform efforts.

Mr. Sinbad states openly that he is an Obama supporter. That’s reason enough to engage in a little spinning.

And while we’re asking each other to “be fair,” let’s address this:

the particular circumstances they were in during their visit lacked any sense of personal danger and had no dodging of sniper fire.

The report was that there was a corkscrew landing and that the passengers were told there might be sniper fire. Mr. Sinbad’s remarks don’t contradict this account.

“Tense as Crips and Bloods” but also “never any danger”? Sounds like spinning to me.

Be fair, Quaker. Quote the whole passage:

Singer also cited a Kansas City Star article from September 2000 that quoted Sinbad as describing the situation in Bosnia as “so tense. It was Crips and Bloods.” (And that’s how Sinbad continued to characterize the situation in our interview Monday. He said, “At the time, we didn’t realize how crazy it was between the Bosnians and the Serbs. I didn’t realize how much hate was going on.”)

He didn’t forget what he said before. But to note that the general situation in Bosnia is tense doesn’t negate any comments that the particular circumstances they were in during their visit lacked any sense of personal danger and had no dodging of sniper fire.
