“They’re both not ready to have that 3 a.m. phone call”

I think we can expect a lot more of this from the two Democratic camps over the next few months – and I think I’m going to like it (New York Times - The Caucus, emphasis added):

As Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton prepares for an afternoon news conference here in Washington, where she is to be surrounded by “military officers,” her campaign has put up a YouTube moment that you can bet will be replayed over and over.

In it, Susan Rice, a foreign policy adviser to Senator Barack Obama, discusses the foreign policy credentials of both Democrats against the tableau of Mrs. Clinton’s 3 a.m. phone call advertisement about who would be best prepared for an international crisis. (While your children are safely asleep.)

“Clinton hasn’t had to answer the phone at three o’clock in the morning and yet she attacked Barack Obama for not being ready,’’ Ms. Rice said. “They’re both not ready to have that 3 a.m. phone call.”

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Susan Rice!

BTW, if you’re wondering who is ready for that 3AM call, check the top of the right-hand column.
