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."

“After this stupid remark the Dems will have to dump Obama and bring out Hillary.”

That’s what we’ve been worried about. She’s just standing back and biding her time. She’ll be happy to step up to the plate and rescue the party.

Within the boundaries of protocol, how would the DNC go about doing this, since Obama has won the nomination according to their rules. CAN they do it? Would it involve an invitation to a picnic in Fort Marcy Park?

Don’t appreciate this further smear of Palin. Your man Obama is the one who can’t run with the big dogs....he is squealing like a stuck pig!

This video is insulting Palin. Look at the poster...an Obama supporter.

Barry’s intro was taken from this cartoon, originally published 9/5/08.

It’s not his idea, I’ll bet. Maybe Biden suggested it?

There can be no better advisor for her. He will not encourage her to learn specifics, but approaches.

Spread the video to every board you visit, mail it to everyone you know, then kick back, relax, and toast the trainwreck that is Barack Hussein Obama!

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.

That sounds like a plan. The more you goad and rattle them they more they fall apart. Socialists and their partners in TASS/MSM are like schoolyard bullies. They'll push you around, take your lunch money until you punch them in the snout. Then they will go cry to their mommy.

Maybe the whole Demodog party has that “moose in the headlights” look?

It was a cheap shot by obama. He threw it out there and his audience lapped it up.

I think he knew he went too far. After that he paid Palin a compliment, “Look, she’s new, she hasn’t been on the scene, she’s got five kids. And my hat goes off to anybody whose looking after five. I’ve got two and they tire Michelle and me out”. Sounds like he’s trying to throw a brick then hide his hand or whatever phrase it was that he used the other day.

At any rate, the media, while acknowledging the double meaning, is already citing how McCain also used the expression to refer to something that hillary was doing.
