Here, let me try as well:

"Hilary Clinton is like a second helping of deep stuffed New York style pizza. All those oozey cheese looked good and appealed to me when I ate it, but turned out not to be a very good idea, later on. The Chicago style pizza ended up being a much better choice."

Hillary Clinton is like balut; she may be appealing to her white outsides, but get past that thin shell, and you'll see that she's hella nasty deep inside.

Wow...who could possibly have guessed this thread would turn into a lot of cheap and witless Hillary bashing? How unpredictable. Class it up a little, guys. Or if you can't, at least try and make the putdowns witty.

You probably won't like any of these:

"A woman is like coffee beans. You have to put her under fire and subject her to pressure to find out what she can become."

"A woman is like hot chocolate with cayenne pepper. She's sweet, she's spicy, and she'll cause you agonizing pain but you'll just want more."

"A woman is like yogurt. She should be full of culture."

"A woman is like fugu. People think she's poisonous, but she's actually very mild. And then the tingling starts."

Well apparently this has evolved into ,yet,another example of gender bashing disguised as jokes in this primary season.When I start hearing some age related jokes(slurs?) or racial jokes(slurs?) as well ,then all will finally be equal.

That this can be called gender bashing is proof that many women carry way too many chips on their shoulder. As a male who has worked hard to help end gender based discrimination, I urge women not to look for the slight, but take responsibility for allowing people to be people and move on to important things. The of comments from women being overly sensitive goes a long way in explaining why Hillary is the only serious female presidential candidate in American history. Seriously. That someone may wish to use this forum to bash Hillary is not in and of itself, sexist. Frankly, she opened the door for these with her clumsy choice of words. Yet if she choose to be as as sensitive as some who have responded, she would have been toast a long time ago. If you support her candidacy, support her, don't drag her down by weighting her your hypersensitivity.

Or for Heaven's sake, guys, lighten up. So the jokes are lame (and now appearing out of order, oddly enough). That doesn't mean gender bashing is involved. Isn't it clear from my admittedly lame post (which was in response to post #4 which now appears out of order, oddly enough) that I voted for HC early on, but now wish I had voted otherwise? That makes it a gender issue, how exactly...? "Assumes facts not in evidence, counsel."

I don't think the Hillary jokes are gender bashing. Hillary would be awful no matter her gender.

From what I understand, she didn't even originate the quote...Supposedly it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said it first...But don't quote me on that...
