The First Lady, A Guitar Player, and A Comedian Go to Bosnia

Sounds like the set-up for a joke, doesn't it? In some ways, it is:

Mrs. Clinton's claim that she was sent on a dangerous foreign policy trip to Bosnia in 1996 is being debunked by someone who was there — comedian and actor Sinbad.

Clinton says she was told there might be sniper fire and that her plane had to make a tight corkscrew landing to avoid potential attacks.

But Sinbad tells The Washington Post he and singer Sheryl Crowe were with Hillary on that USO trip to entertain the troops — and recalls no such danger — "I think the only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place?'"

Senator Clinton has 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."

Sinbad — who is an Obama supporter — responds to that by asking — "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.'"

When you couple this with Greg Craig's dismantling of Hillary's "experience" claims, the Clinton's efforts to portray her as the candidate "ready on day one" seems to fall flat.
