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."

Exactly. The whole country knows that “lipstick” joke she told and that’s why that crowd reacted the way they did.

The $oro$/Moveon.org Liberal influence on full display with this nastiness. It should backfire.

Smith is wishfully hoping that he won’t have to report this story again tomorrow night. Keep dreaming Shep!!

LOL!

I had the best, most amazing, meatloaf sandwich in Chicago, while “da Bears” were winning on the big screen.

I must admit Chicago has a flavour all it’s own.

Miss Piggy sings “I Will Survive” — (new Palin theme song “in-your-face”, perhaps?)

What a nice ad it would make to show Palin deliver her lipstick line from the convention, followed immediately by this clip.

The difference between a good natured quip and mean spirited attack w/b obvious.

Yeah, Shep is really in the tank for Obama.

It is clear that this was a reference to Sarah! Come on!

"He called Sarah Palin a pig."

No, we have a record here. He no doubt considers her a "typical white person" pig. NO Republican could stay in the Presidential race and use the words he does (in addition to "57" states, etc.). The MSM media is TOTALLY in the tank for this non-American.

Agree- these dopes are evil and are not worthy of collecting my septic waste. They have not turned over one single stone re the vetting of the socialist racist bastard from Chicago. But now the DNC sends 30 scum bag attorneys to ALASKA looking for dirt. Ditto the media, where is the damn outrage ! ! !

I suspect we will get the entire video complete with the fish wrap comments when Hannity and Colmes comes on.

I shall have my video recorder at the ready

“Wow—what terrible handlers! How clueless! Are they deranged? “

I don’t think anyone gets it yet. Obama didn’t just say this as a slip of the tongue.

This was part of his ‘prewritten speech’.

Others have noted it was a DEM talking point for the past two days.
