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."

See my post #1140 to see what kind of a class guy obama is. Don’t tell me obama doesn’t know he is giving Hillary the finger at these rallies. The audience knows. He knows. He’s all grinny about it.

Same thing with his rip on Palin as a pig.

This is the way it should play out. McCain side registered their anger. Obama camp responded predictably. Hillary stood aside. Media will carry water for Obama. His side will explain the nuance. Every bit of this dance is predictable. Let Palin put a few new zingers in her stump speech, something that will really get under Obama’s skin. McCain should stay out of it completely. They will become even more obsessed with her, and we all know that is a plus.

Did you see the pictures on limbaugh's site tonight, and the transcript? I heard the call and was sobbing with joy:

The thought came to my mind to take Heather Mallick’s little article, and her thoughts in it, and use it to make a bio on E-Harmony just to see what “matches” would pop up.

They had Jane Swift (former MA acting governor) hold a press conference on this issue.

No worries. If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

I disagree. The byword this year, is “change”, and bipartisanship. Hillary could set herself up and prove her own words right, if she were to come out against this “pig” remark. Defend women’s rights, and improve her own reputation.

Could we see Obama come up with some reason as to why he will decline to debate?

He needs to schedule throat surgery ASAP. "Doc says I can't talk for two months!"

And just remember boys & girls, the Republicans are anti-women; only Democrats want equality for women.
