But it was so very NUANCED!!! /s
EXACTLY! BINGO!
Make it a weapon against them. It’s too easy to be outraged. The crafty jabs of Pailin can sting for a lifetime.
Good point and what McCain said earlier:
“McCain criticized Democratic contenders for offering what he called costly universal health care proposals that require too much government regulation. While he said he had not studied Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s health-care plan, he said it was “eerily reminiscent” of the failed plan she offered as first lady in the early 1990s.
“I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,” he said of her proposal.”
Was clearly talking of the proposal, Obama is pretty blatantly speaking of McCain and Palin and their Reforms...
Obama should not sleaze out of this one, we should not let him.
Sorry. I meant to say that I interpreted the comment as the author did.
I thought the fish remark was a sort of code (referring to Palin’s husband) to let the audience know he knew they knew what the pig remark was aimed at.
Perhaps I credit him/them with too much subtlety !
Obama’s cult loonies no doubt got it.
No thit, is he? Don't be telling me that he sports a mid name of Hussien!!!!!
Obama is back to kindergarten. Sarah’s lipstick joke was not thrown toward Obama. I hope we don’t get sucked into responding in kind. Sarah’s and Rudy’s criticisms drew blood because they were true and because they were substantive in nature. Getting sucked into name calling would be counter-productive as we have such advantages on the issues!
Even OPEC now wants to reduce the price of oil. They got scared about McCain’s and Palin’s agenda of increasing our oil independence, and OPEC wants to reduce the price to a level that prevents some of the business cases from making sense. OPEC has played that game for years. We need a national will to get ourselves weaned from these jerks once and for all.
The fact that he said “OLD fish” gave me the immediate impression that the twerp was referring to McCain.
That ugly comment,,,like the ugly "pig" comment,,,,
is just overflowing with NUANCE!!!
Don't the liberals FLAUNT Hussein's ability to make NUANCED comments?
Obama is getting an important life lesson from the campaign about humility. I pray it does him some good.
Watch it buster!!
considering the political hay BO’s campaign made out of Toon’s “fairy tale” comment, they are whistling into the wind if they don’t expect to have this hung around their necks. McCain needs to pick it up and club him with the fish comment, of course with good humor, although the fish may be the barracuda.
Name calling tends to backfire.
I was a big fan of Pigs in Space.
I took the “Fish” slam as a muslin insult to one of the symbols of Christians
They might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but they are backfiring mightily tonight.
I have no idea if that is what he meant, but I know that if it was a Republican, by tomorrow there would be a “historical” Wikipedia page detailing the usage of “Stinky Fish”..
I know, because that’s how Macaca became a racist word.
