  It's 3 a.m. ... Again

  Posted Wednesday, April 02, 2008 5:56 PM | By Christopher Beam

  Hillary Clinton just released a new "3 a.m." ad, with a twist. This time, instead of some vaguely ominous national crisis, it's a vaguely ominous economic crisis. From the script:

  But there’s a phone ringing in the White House and this time the crisis is economic. Home foreclosures mounting, markets teetering. John McCain just said the government shouldn’t take any real action on the housing crisis, he’d let the phone keep ringing. Hillary Clinton has a plan to protect our homes, create jobs. It’s 3 am, time for a president who’s ready.

  At risk of sounding obnoxious, aren't the markets closed at 3 a.m.? Or maybe the crisis is happening in Japan?
