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."

The lipstick comment is big news on Drudge.I got called a troll many times over when I challenged the claims that Drudge was in the tank for Obama. I think this is all the proof we need he's not.

In one day, THIS plus Biden attacking Palin with a non-sequitur about Down Syndrome and stem cell research.
I have a feeling that O and Joe belong together - a synergetic idiocy machine.

Hussein owes not only Gov. Palin an apology for an UGLY PERSONAL ATTACK,,,
he also owes the American people an apology for taking the POLITICS OF PERSONAL DESTRUCTION to levels unimaginable.
This PERSONAL ATTACK was about as ugly as you can possibly get.

He called all hockey moms pigs..IMOWere he campaigning in Canada (well, it could happen), he'd have gotten beaten up very badly after a comment like that. Lots of Hockey Moms in the great White North.
Whoops - did I say "white"? I was referring to the snow (no, not that kind of 'snow', Barry).

God bless you. And I wager your reaction represents many across our great country. I always knew this was the true soul of Obama. Thank God his soul is being bared now rather than later.

What about this part of the comments - just as insulting, but not quite as obvious:
“No, shes new!” Obama said. “She hasnt been on the scene, you know, shes got five kids and my hat goes off to anybody whos looking after five. Ive got two and they tire Michelle and me out!”

True, but also everyone knows the saying about lipstick on a pig. Like I said...I know what it was in reference to, but it was done in such a way that they have deniability.

It's not showbiz envy. It's lipstick envy.

Before the implosion of the Obama campaign, I thought the election would be very close, within 2% or so. Now I'm beginning to think McCain/Palin will win by 10%, at least.
Hubby and I were talking about that, after the lipstick comment, and both of us thought the same thing.
The violence we all saw out of “protesters” at the RNC is nothing compared to what will happen election night and the next day.
In all seriousness, we all need to be vigilant after this election. The left is going to show themselves as the ugly, violent cretins they really are.
