Larry David: On the Red Phone


Here's an idea for an Obama ad: a montage of Clinton's Sybillish personalities that have surfaced during the campaign with a solemn voiceover at the end saying, "Does anyone want this nut answering the phone?"

How is it that she became the one who's perceived as more equipped to answer that 3 a.m. call than the unflappable Obama? He, with the ice in his veins, who doesn't panic when he's losing or get too giddy when he's winning, who's as comfortable in his own skin as she's uncomfortable in hers. There have been times in this campaign when she seemed so unhinged that I worried she'd actually kill herself if she lost. Every day, she reminds me more and more of Adele H., who also had an obsession that drove her insane.

A few weeks ago, I started to feel sorry for her. Oh Christ, let her win already...Who cares...It's not worth it. There's not that much difference between them. She can have it. Anything to avoid watching her descend into madness. So I switched. I started rooting for her. It wasn't that hard. Compromise comes easy to me. I was on board.

And then I saw the ad.

I watched, transfixed, as she took the 3 a.m. call...and I was afraid...very afraid. Suddenly, I realized the last thing this country needs is that woman anywhere near a phone. I don't care if it's 3 a.m. or 10 p.m. or any other time. I don't want her talking to Putin, I don't want her talking to Kim Jong Il, I don't want her talking to my nephew. She needs a long rest. She needs to put on a sarong and some sun block and get away from things for a while, a nice beach somewhere -- somewhere far away, where there are...no phones.

1. Larry should know about late-night calling...

....after all, EVERYONE knows the cut-off time for calling at night is 9:30 pm.:D

K&R for Larry!:kick:

2. But, there are exceptions

Like if it is good news. Then you can call anytime.

3. No I think it is 10

7. You're probably right...

My memory was fuzzy on that (but I remembered the episode, nonetheless :D)

8. great too great

4. She is mistaken if she thinks she won a primary because of negativity

She's losing people who were with her before.

9. I LOVE this column

He nailed it and nailed her.

"Does anyone want this nut answering the phone?"

NO. Go away Hillary.

We need bumper stickers and signs that say:
"GO AWAY HILLARY"

10. To bad there are so many

folks who do want Hill answering the phone at 3 AM. In OH, TX, PA, WVA, KY, IN .....

The ad worked. She got tons of free press with it.

And ya'll just keep floating it around. THANKS! And keep it up!!

12. Gotta disagree with the sexism Larry shows here ...

"Sybillish personalities"? "Put on a sarong and some sunblock"? And "unflappable" Obama will ... what ... throw down the white glove and wait for the duel challenge at dawn? Wave it off with a curt "I've answered enough questions already, guys"?

[musette_sf]

13. oh get a grip

Larry David is *NOT* sexist. what the hell was he supposed to say, "Put on a Speedo"?

and "Sybil" is shorthand for "multiple personalities". nothing sexist there either.

have a nice fishing expedition....

14. Looking for some humor from Larry, but only saw cheap shots here ...

Been voting Dem since JFK. Who shouldn't I have voted for since 1960?

15. The real 3AM phone call

Get ready......
