Obama: Lipstick on a Pig (Did he just call Sarah Palin a pig and a stinky fish?)

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."

He needs to put a bag over her head!

Maybe another 5 or more points up for us. Thanks, BamBam, you dolt.

[Jagman]

This is a double hit: Palin = pig; McCain = “old fish”

I disagree; the second is the most vile thing 13 year old punks say about girls. Pure misogyny.

She’s been inside his head ever since she was announced.

The silver lining is the world is finally seeing what Obama and the other liberals really think of women.

Osama should take a gooood look at his wife.She is ugly.I bet he needs Viagra.:-))

Take a look at HIM. I bet she needs Vodka!

[Spokane]

Wow. I though this was a joke. McCain and Palin have got to immediately demand an apology.

[Shqipo]

How presidential of him.

[TomGuy]

Yeh. That is the Dems’ new ‘slip of the tongue.’

I heard 2 different commentators ‘slip’ it in yesterday on FoxNews. One of them was Bob Bechtel who fumbled to get it inserted in his commentary.

Muslims always have this thing against pigs.

[mainepatsfan]

I hope there’s video of this.

He doesn’t care one way or the other about McCain ~ or hadn’t you noticed. He knows he has to beat Palin ~ his entire campaign apparatus is directed at her. He’s now venting his hatred for her.

[Per-Ling]

You might be right. I wasn’t looking at it that way. Either way, it’s unacceptable and purely below the intellect of the Mahdi.

Sarah needs to start making fun of all these smears.

Did you hear the one about the Redneck woman governor that took on a thug politican from Chicago.

Tasted just like Chicken.

[Chickensoup]

Did he really say that??????

It’s subliminal, folks. LOL

Berry must be referring to himself since he wears blue/purple lipstick. He probably wears bright red lipstick when the sun goes down and nobody is looking except guys like Larry Sinclair. Berry is a spoiled fish that is wrapped in newspaper and sprayed with perfume. His true fragrance will eventually rise to the surface and reveal a foul odor that really stinks.

[mainepatsfan]

You could be right. Either way he’s really stepped in it.

[BossLady]

Dang....this is right out of the Alec Baldwin book of insults!!!! WTH?
