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."
Her first question to him was, "Was I the only one who when I heard the lipstick on a pig comment, thought he was directing it at Sarah Palin.
Rove basically said, it was a serious error, and one he would be wise to apologize for.
Mark Levin took notice of it. So did Drudge.
“A hype of emotions and anger on our side of the internet or talk radio means absolutely nothing in the real world.”
You sure you want to go there? First off, you are ‘warning’ us not to make ‘fools’ of ourselves, and then you say we mean ‘absolutely nothing’. Better to stick with one position.
“You cannot stop politicians from the opposing side to use the very common expression lipstick on a pig just because our Sarah Palin mentioned lipstick and pitbull in her RNC speech. It is really stupid and sound like a lot of whining.”
First off, he essentially called her a pig. Just about everyone gets that, including DU. Please don't tell me that the DU can see this .... I'm not going there.
As for whining, that's something Palin has to deal with.
Oh sure, she can be a ‘good sport’ about it. If Sarah Palin were to whine, it would hurt her certainly. That's one aspect that makes BO hurt himself in fact. Everyone knows she has to be strong.
It's a bad night for BO. The DU is doing its piggy dance. And I'm outta here for the night. — FRegards ....
“I don’t care what lame excuses the Dems come up with.
Do they think we are idiots”
Not really.
They think that the folks they con into voting for them are, however....

Does she work for McCain’s campaign? Is she the one they are all quoting?
I haven’t found one link who the quote is from.
“It is habitual among a certain class of homosexuals to refer to women as “fish”, or to make references to “stink”.”
The last time I’ve heard this kind of gutter talk was from disgusting high school boys as they gossipped about loose girls.
You make a good point, and have given good advice, which I intend to take.
Thanks, MOgirl
Sadly though, James Carville is 'taken.'
I heard that today......that was cool. He emphasizes that Sarah, John and their families are everyday people he could relate too. It was very sweet.......
He needs to schedule throat surgery ASAP. “Doc says I can’t talk for two months!”
ROTFLMPO!!!
Judging from this post, English is not your first language.
Arabic, maybe?
Of course he did, he's a Harvard educated lawyer for God's sake, do you really think he's so stupid he doesn't know what he's saying?
He has a BIG problem with women, as he's already proved with Hillary. This just further proves it.
He's weak-minded, too, or else he'd be able to control it better.
OK folks....
I just heard this on the way home...
It’s OK for “The Magic Negro” to make BLATANTLY sexist statements, but if I had dared to say something like “ You gotta call a SPADE a SPADE!” reffering to a Black man, I’d be in SENSITIVITY TRAINING HELL for the next TEN YEARS, and placed on a company watchlist!
It’s time for some “TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY”.
Throw the Political Correctness Card on this bastard!!!
Good job. Veritas is a good guy, but we see this pig story differntly.
We’ve done our best here tonight. I’m gone too.
“Can the party really substitute a different candidate without calling another convention?”
nothing in the Constitution about parties OR conventions.
It’s a state-by-state issue, since there is no national election.
Some states may have laws that allow a swith, but if a state has a filing deadline that has passed, DNC would need to go to that state’s courts.
Mondale was locked in, he knew he was toast long before chad time. Dukakis, too. Kerry and Gore were sure they’d win, so the issue never came up.
As far as this election, the hen must sit a while before we enumerate the progeny.
True, English is not my first language and Arabic is. You won the debate (extreme sarcasm)
He probably meant “weekend” candidate since he was appointed during a Senate recess.
