Hillary: Comfortable In The Kitchen!

Ha ha, someone told Hillary Clinton she’s comfortable in the kitchen! Was it noted America-hater Barack Obama? Clinton-lover/radio host/sexist Howard Eskin? Surely a comment so evil could only have been said by Adolf Hitler himself.

Nope, it was said by none other than Hillary Clinton!

Clinton also brought up this week’s Philadelphia debate without naming her rival, Sen. Barack Obama. She said her opponent complained about some hard questioning by the moderators, but said that it was nothing compared to her own eight years in the White House as first lady. She quoted Harry Truman: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” She added that she’s comfortable in that “kitchen.”

When Hillary Clinton is president, such sexist comments will be outlawed.

Vince Fumo, Moving To Camera 2

Challenger Anne Dicker’s camp sent over this ad for Vince Fumo’s State Senate re-election bid yesterday, complaining that Fumo really hasn’t done much for illegal guns on the streets. Fair enough.

But I believe the real beauty in this ad is, um, the ad itself. I didn’t really notice how brilliant it was ’til it aired after Gladiators last night: Fumo serving the people dinner, the face of the dude at the kitchen table, the little head-tilt by Fumo at the end. Forget the State Senate, we need to get Vince Fumo a sitcom.

If I were Anne Dicker, I’d just show this ad on an infinite loop at one of her watering hole meetups; I can’t see how a night of drinking and watching this ad over and over could do anything but increase attendance.

Adwatch: Bucks County Kitchens

Today, Adwatch looks at Mike Fitzpatrick, Republican congressman for the Eighth Congressional District, and his recent attack ads toward his opponent.

The ads mostly just replay a clip of Patrick Murphy on Hardball, where he can’t tell Chris Matthews whether he would have voted for the Iraq war (which he served in), and they play up his inexperience. Let’s explore one of these attack ads, after the jump.
