...underwear - and don't even think about the bathroom. She has a long scene where she tries to teach him the virtues of putting the toilet seat up before using the facility. She, on the other hand, sometimes lengthily preempts the bathroom, which obliges him to use that kitchen sink to relieve himself...

The show’s truly excellent chorus helps to keep Sondheim’s increasingly weighty narrative snowballing along, in spite of a few lengthy scene changes which throw off the show’s momentum.

He devoted more and more of his stump speech to slagging Clinton. "She's got the kitchen sink flying, the china flying - the buffet is coming at me," he said during a whistle-stop tour of southeastern Pennsylvania. His delivery of the kitchen-sink line was droll, but the rest of the tour was surprisingly soporific. He seemed fed up with campaigning - as any reasonably sane human being...
