Does that mean all girls can't throw? I'd suspect not since you can turn on the tube and see girls (sic) throwing really well. Hey, my husband likes to watch girls throw ;-) He also likes girls with glasses, but I digress.
Does Obama thrown like me? Nope. He looked pretty good for a person who doesn't play baseball. Can Rush Limbaugh throw? Nope, I suspect not. He's not an athlete and I wouldn't say he was unmanly because of it.
Now he may be unmanly. But not because of his lack of prowess at baseball ;-)
He argued that most girls could only throw things like ash trays, pots and pans and rolling pins. Of course, being a brainless sycophant, the formerly "outraged" caller giggled at Porky's sexist humor.
So now we know how Rush's wives dealt with him, lol.
2) True story... When my daughter was 8, there was a boy in the neighborhood (who was 11) that picked on her relentlessly, not the kind of picking on that indicates he likes her, the vicious kind that showed he was a little punk.
One day I happen to over hear this occurring and instead of getting mad at the boy, I simply told him that if he can throw a baseball further (in a tennis court) than my daughter, that I would allow him to pick on her all he wanted and that I would not come to my daughters rescue.
Understand, this was not of much worry to me as my daughter had been in little league for two years and I threw with her all the time... this boy threw like a 'girl'... and I knew it!
Suffice to say, the boy threw the ball past the back white line of the opposite side (about a foot short of the 20 foot fence)...
My daughter threw her ball... over the fence (from the exact same spot the boy stood at)... there was about 20 witnesses to the whole exchange.
The boy not only never teased my kid again, but never spoke to her again. Considering the boys dad... I see this kid being no better than the kind that Rush Limbaugh caters to on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, it came so naturally to her when she was young that she never saw the value of practice (despite nagging from dad). Now age 16, she's just an average player.
Ah, that's life.
He didn't stand a chance.
I have two friends who both played softball and would love to strike out that freak.
The future of the GOP is looking more and more like a padded cell and a nutjob coat.

Personally, I was thrilled to see it happen, because I'd been struck out on three pitches by a woman once, in Central Park. To be honest, though, I think the ump gave her that third pitch. It sounded high.
I thought Cons wanted to turn Americans against the health care reform among other things. Why don't they talk about THAT instead of wasting everybody's time?
