Obama: Lipstick on a Pig (Did he just call Sarah Palin a pig and a stinky fish?)
Politico ^ | Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | Ben Smith

Posted on 09/09/2008 3:36:33 PM PDT by kristinn

Amie Parnes reports from Lebanon, VA:

Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra.

"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."

"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink."

"We've had enough of the same old thing."

The crowd apparently took the "lipstick" line as a reference to Palin, who described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single word: "lipstick."

Don’t worry about Sarah...I got a feeling that Obama
has some painful comeuppance on the way.

I wish I could hear Imus’s show TOMORROW..of course with his new homie Rev. Al Sharpton as his ONLY guest for 4 HOURS while taking calls from his listening audience.

Just the THOUGHT of what Bernie’s take will be on this makes me laugh!!

“she means what she wrote”

We had no doubt about that! We don’t hunt but certainly do appreciate others who do. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Right now, we are “city folk” but hope someday to make it back to a more rural area for retirement. Maybe then we can hunt for OUR Thanksgiving dinner!

When Matt Drudge, who gets like 6 million hits a day, puts up a headline, people will talk about that subject. I’m looking around ‘out there on the web’ to see if I can find a link (or verification) that Hillary Clinton did infact issue a ‘no comment’ when asked about the ‘lipstick/pig/fishy smell’ Obama speech. If that is found to be true, look for Drudge to put up his spinning light thingy...and this would be, as FReepers would say, hugh and series to the Obama campaign.

Well Eric I have to agree there is that possiblity. But if the man wasn’t a common street thug, he would have know better than to say it even if it was written for him.

The man has the class of a cockroach! And yes I agree, the more he displays this crassness, the more will bolt to the correct team.

No one is going to believe Obama is the victim here. No one.

I couldn't agree more. Even the most 'far-left' liberals would smirk at that one.

The ugly politics of personal destruction have been elevated to a new level by Hussein (the ugly Chicago gutter level).

Bingo! Unlike SaraBarracuda, he’s completely tone deaf about impromptu remarks and it seems that he is remarkably prone to really stepping in it when he gets off script.

His handlers need a remote control to switch off his microphone.

if this is what he says in public I can only imagine what he says in private.

“worse than that he just called every hockey mom a pig with lipstick.”

Good connection - I didn’t make it at all. This one is going to hurt.

You might be right. I wasn’t looking at it that way. Either way, it’s unacceptable and purely below the intellect of the Mahdi.

Not only did Obama spew his outrageous misogynistic crap, but he did it with his voice edging into a black street thug accent. Just a hint of it, but it was unmistakable.

Hello,

My MIL is following this election as closely as I am, but only on TV. She is terrified of The O getting to the WH.

We talked earlier this evening about the pig/fish insult, and I wimped out, I did not share the other meaning of “fish” when discussing women. So, tomorrow, I get the joy of explaining to a 76 year old what I believe the now “Not So O” meant.

How fun....

One wonders, after Michelle’s makeover, what she is saying in private.

That’s a nice mind to be compared to.

Tammy Bruce is a very clear thinker.

And, a babe!
Not that I noticed. :o)
Or, as she often calls herself...
