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."

Sadly he wasn’t referencing Palin in his little rant up to this comment so they have plausable deniability. But with Biden getting embryo hungry and Obama getting angry this will be fun to watch!

“I thought the “old fish” was a shot at McCain.”

Clearly.

I would love to know how things are going over at DU right about now. Have there been any reports? (I am cubicle bound and must limit my surfing.)

As someone else pointed out: The whole country knows that “lipstick” joke she told and that’s why that crowd reacted the way they did.

It appears that the “fish-stink” comment is being scrubbed from media reports. Probably deemed by the media as the MOST damaging to the Magic Negro.

I do hope somebody caught the entire slander on tape.

You're right...must have been a glitch. I got the message that it was no longer available, but now I can see it.

The McCain campaign is now saying Obama called Palin a pig, which he didn't. They also note that "lipstick is a fairly common idiom item he often uses," as in a recent Washington Post interview.

There. Fixed that.
