Funny, she seems to be the one standing (5.00 / 7) (#3)

her ground on the issues.

I guess I should throw the same dare out to Obama that I throw out to his supporters:

What exactly has she said/done that constitutes the kitchen sink? And now the china cabinet? Tell me please, I dare ya.

Now, now. be fair.... (5.00 / 6) (#5)

...he didn't say the china cabinet, he said the buffet. ;-)

when my budgy got sick and the vet wanted fifty bucks to put him down: put him in a bag and hit him with a brick.

What's with the kitchen references? (5.00 / 1) (#38)

He's dogwhistling the misogyny again.

...I'm trying to tone down my sensitivity to it, but  adding the image of him ducking the china was, at the very least, a sexist cliche.

toss the china. You never waste the good stuff on some mouthy jerk. If you toss anything it's going to be the cast iron skillet. Which Obama could use a few smacks with, in my opinion. What a whiny cry baby..she's a woman and she's the one with the cojones, not him. I think that is what is getting his goat. Hehehe.

"ironing the shirt" of those dumbasses in NH she can smack him with the iron - then he'll be the one feeling down!

Dogwhistling! Tit for tat thuds forth ... (5.00 / 2) (#104)

... as tiresomely as C. U. Next Tuesday (or the Debate Finger) when tucked in with all the kitchen sundries and knick knacks flying around.

I'm kind of disappointed his speechwriting wizards didn't throw a rolling pin or a frying pan in there. Too busy snorting at their funnies, I guess.

I can just hear them falling over each other at the brilliance of working T!t into the mix.

Cartoonish caricature of women in the '50s (5.00 / 4) (#63)
by Cream City on Sat Apr 19, 2008 at 05:15:16 PM EST
i.e., Blondie and Dagwood, etc., often had women throwing dishes at men owing to "periodically feeling down," y'know.  

No question about this one, yet again.  Can we really imagine Obama saying Edwards was throwing dishes?  I am heartily sick of Obama's imagery, feeding stereotypes from decades ago.  He could at least catch up with the culture.

Well, he's more than welcome to stop (5.00 / 4) (#91)

by my place. I'm in the middle of cleaning the fridge and freezers. I could lob some fridge 'experiments' at him. I, like most women, am too smart to waste good dishes ;) Oh, and that old porcelain sink, not a chance. It's a classic, lol!~

The clips they played of him on Thursday reminded me of good ol' boys at the office, before the women walk into the conference room. That attitude just doesn't fly with me. Many of my former co-workers know just what I'm talking about when I say I'm more than happy with my 4-legged, fur covered 'co-workers'.

Tip for repurposing BAD dishes and knick knacks (none / 0) (#132)
by Ellie on Sat Apr 19, 2008 at 06:50:10 PM EST
Cathartic, artistic, and plain good fun:

Save them up to throw against a wall and when you're in a really rotten mood, lay down a tarp and have at'em. In full fastball mode you'll get enough for a cool cement mosaic for the garden, deck or a table top.

Beautifies your insides, too.

Really! How cliche! (5.00 / 1) (#161)
by Donald from Hawaii on Sat Apr 19, 2008 at 07:42:16 PM EST
When my vicious stereotypes have to throw a tanrum, my preference has always been the cast-iron frying pan upside the head. It's quick and clean, because there are no broken dishes to sweep up afterward.

throwing china (none / 0) (#175)
by kaybeel on Sat Apr 19, 2008 at 08:16:51 PM EST
There is the rumor that she threw something (a vase? an ashtray?) at Bill during a Monica Lewinsky argument.  I do believe Obama is trying to bring that image to the forefront again.  Sneakily.

Oh - you know how sensitive he is (5.00 / 1) (#146)
by Josey on Sat Apr 19, 2008 at 07:16:10 PM EST
proving he'd never make it through the general.
WAAAAAA!!  What a WHINER!!
If Hillary does have a kitchen sink - it'll never hit him in the kitchen.
It's much too hot in there for Obama!
