Sinbad is getting a tough go of things around here and in the media, but I've met him and I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with him for an interview some years back. He was a genuinely funny and engaging man, and I'm sure he probably still is... I wouldn't put him in the pantheon of great comedians or anything, but he was damned funny and could riff on current events without being mean-spirited. He will make a fine President regardless of whether he picks Hillary or Barack. Or perhaps he will shock us all and pick Vince Vaughn or Joe Rogan...

I too have met Sinbad and found him to be a wonderful person. After feeding a homeless man, a mounted police officer tried to arrest the man for begging from us. Sinbad happened to be there as his kids were wanting to pet the officer's horse. While our reasoning with the officer had no appeal, Sinbad worked his magic and talked the cop out of making the arrest.

Best:

"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.'""
