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."

Excellent point. There are plenty of Zero supporters in the MSM, but the owners (i.e., shareholders) want dividends and increased value. That means they must make money and once they saw the 30,000 lost Us Mag subscriptions, I think some of the cooler heads may have sent down the message to go with the flow and start documenting the Obama Campaign implosion.

Keep it up, Barry. You’ll deliver 42 states to McCain/Palin at this rate. 42??? More like 57!

He did look nervous about saying it. But, then he blurted it out.
Todd Palin should challenge him to a dual for insulting his wife's honor.

Paging Larry Sinclair! LOL!
Thats the first things I thought:
Fish = woman in gay man talk and also used in prisons
Pig = what muslims call Christians and what Alec Baldwin calls his child

Kind of reminds me of Bill Cosby’s comedy style.I'm thinking this performance rates up there with Micheal Richards.

MSNBC covering Governor Palin’s per diem. Lol. Head-in-sand time.
To: Dacula
I was thinking the same thing. Women who dare to go against men are pigs, to a muslim. Dirty.
This is really a stupid remark. I can not believe that he would be that stupid.
I hope Hillary, if she knows what is good for her, will come out and blast the remark. Her chances are getting better and better to be able to run in 2012. She may not always have this good will; she should use it now. Now is her chance to stand up for women, and bury Obama’s chances. She was right about him, and she should stand up to him, and her party...so that she can be the next dem nominee.

I may be young and unmarried, but it is those kinds of words that can turn a saintly man into a fighting one.
