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."

It’s made it to Fox and CNN so there is hope (couldn’t resist, sorry)...

Remember, there is one story line that the media likes more than the underdog beating the establishment (the Obama template thus far), and that is the hero or someone on top falling from grace. I have a feeling they may start to drive that media template about Obama.. its all about ratings, an Obama meltdown will be like sweeps week in the news market.

From NRO.com’s the corner:

Swift Call Action [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

In a McCain conference call tonight (just now), former Massachusetts governor Jane Swift accused the Obama campaign of “playground” politics for calling opponents “rotten old fish or a pig.”

Swift accused the Obama campaign of taking “the same old low road” with the comments.

Asked by bewildered press why she was certain the pig comment was referring to Palin, she pointed out that Palin is the only one of the four running who wears lipstick.

Swift said that Senator Obama owes Governor Palin an apology.

You can volunteer and donate money to the fund used in case the campaign needs lawyers here:

Something tells me the Dems are going to go into the mud very quickly. Obama has just given the green light to the 527s with this so called gaffe.

You can wrap a chicken leg in a harvard law diploma and call it judgement to lead but it is still gonna stink like a chicken leg with a side of watermelon.

How racist, sexist and stupid this man, and his Opampers are.

You know, just watched the video. He paused nervously and scratched his head just before he said it, as if wondering if he really wanted to say it at all. Just confirms what the intent of the statement truly was.

Damning...

Before he said it he looked a bit nervous. Put his hand to head and then blurted it out. What an idiot. He’s way out of his league.

Probably not.. seeing as how O’Reilly is taped earlier in the afternoon...
