Hilary Clinton's odd '3am' fixation continues

The original campaign advert asked the American public exactly who they'd want to answer the White House phone at three in the morning if some bad men were carrying out naughty terrorist deeds somewhere in the world. Evidently she didn't hear the amassed American reply of 'Jack Bauer, definitely Jack Bauer' and - as you've more than likely just seen - has now extended the format to cover housing issues.

Westmonster has to say that we find the commercial even more jarring than it's earlier sibling. After all, you can get away with a doom-laden 3am phone call about a terrorist attack or threat to the nation. But a call about a house? Surely the only sane response would be "why in the name of Christ's piss are you calling me at this hour? Can't this wait until the estate agent opens up in the morning? That's only about five hours from now, right?"

Interestingly, John McCain has already filmed his response, and Time's Mark Halperin has obtained the script.
