Larry David: I don’t want Hillary anywhere near a phone…

Larry David, a lefty (but the comedic genius behind Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm), reacts to the Hillary Clinton “3 a.m.” ad: I watched, transfixed, as she took the 3 a.m. call…and I was afraid…very afraid. Suddenly, I realized the last thin…

Something about Hillary Clinton at 3am, and that drooping at the end. . . didn’t the Clintons only have one child?

There’s a bright shiny quarter in it for anyone who can dub in a toilet flushing when the numbers go off the cliff there….

Actually, the ad would be most improved if the person answering the phone were… Chuck Norris.

She’s toast if Democratic undecideds tank nearly as strongly as Obama supporters when the “punchline” is revealed. But we already knew that.

Question: Who isn’t home in the White House at 3AM during a Clinton 3-peat? Hint: He’s out feeling everybody’s “pain”.

As much as I can’t stand the man, John Stewart summed it up pretty good…. 3am or not, if I’m calling the White House somebody better be picking up before the sixth ring!

This ad may save John McCain and diffuse the negatives from the fact he’s older than dirt….. It’s 3am, I’ll be up using the bathroom anyway!

I just imagine a room full of Obama supporters all yanking their dials the left like a synchronized swim team.

The sad thing is that, for the most part, everyone was fine until the picture showed up. How would they lines have moved if they didn’t show a picture or a name? This just tells me that they are voting emotions/hate/love based on the face, not on the issues.

Don’t they test these ads before they release them? That is my Penn gets $5 million right? You would think that the goal is to persuade independents and Obmorons. Apparently not. Looks like the ads was designed to raise money from the faithful to keep on going and do as much damage to Obama as she can.

Are you suggesting Hillary to surgically change her face and voice? Because these are the two things that made these lines plummet.
