"Does anyone want this nut answering the phone?"

On The Red Phone
By Larry David


“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.”

4. This will be the Republican hammer if the Democratic establishment

is stupid enough to think the public will buy Clinton as commander-in-chief.

6. This is perfect! Thanks, Me!

So well conceived..Thanks for reminding people like Larry David, hilary, about you actually answering a call that needed a level head.

Wonder what Spielberg thinks of his girl now?

7. Her years of experience didn't teach her to check her emotions?

That's what I've wondered. Do I want a weepy president when negotiating with a foreign leader? Or would she morph from angry to pissed to hurt in a single meeting? I've never, not once in nearly 30 years in the workplace cried on the job. I could eat my own (if I had any) in any negotiation. I've never used my sex as an excuse for a project's failure. Hillary is NO feminist role model. People who believe that she is must be sadly unempowered in their own lives not to know how much of a joke this kind of behavior (multiple personalities) is in the work environment.
