Sinbad Takes the High Road, Lets Hillary Be

Sinbad, the comedian who lit up the Internet earlier this month in an exclusive interview with the Sleuth about his 1996 trip to Bosnia with then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, isn't fighting back against Clinton's dismissive remarks about him.

"I made my statement, and she made hers," Sinbad wrote to the Sleuth this week in an email marked as "sent from sinbad's iphone."

Clinton was asked this week to respond to Sinbad's much different recollection of the Bosnia trip, which the New York senator and Democratic presidential hopeful has described as harrowing. Sinbad told the Sleuth that the "scariest" part of the trip was worrying about whether "we eat here or at the next place."

On the campaign trail this week, Clinton defended her version of the story and dismissed Sinbad's account, saying, "Sinbad is a comedian." Clinton said she remembers "landing under sniper fire" and that "we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

Now the question is “Why did it take CBS, the New York Times and others in the mainstream media so long to report on the former first lady’s affliction?”
