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."

Well, from reading Mallick's commentary, I can only say that is what happens when you have socialized medicine. Heather, obviously, needs her Prozac tweeked...but can't get into the doc until sometime in '10.

I love the one comment about how many thousand cookie cookbooks Martha Stewart sold to every one of Mallicks. Snickers. That comparison smarts a bit...

Probably best to hear for yourself though. I’m sure they’ll cover this in Rush and Hannity tomorrow. Also in Mark Levin’s archive. Someone linked to youtube. Just don’t trust it if it’s a narrow quote. FRegards ....

I can handle the pig line, but the fish line is sooo much more insulting. It's 2008, ANYBODY in their right mind would not EVER mention Fish and a woman like he did.

It's such a high school, loser guy in the bar that just got turned down type of low life attitude. I hope the guys really realize how insulting this is and that it was beyond the pale for some of us gals.

This was NOT a criticism to McCane folks.... it was for her. it's disgusting and so totally out of line.

I wonder if she ever calls Hussein a “bug eyed fool”?

May I add that women are also extremely offensive to Muslims as well.

Obama gets ovation with ‘lipstick on pig’

http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/2008/09/09/obama-gets-ovation-with-lipstick-on-pig/

“You can put lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered and yelled and eventually got to their feet.

“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 audience, which had a particularly strong reaction whenever Obama mentioned Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, appeared to enjoy the “lipstick” comment the most.

My wife went to Jacksonville with a friend and could not believe the amount of them so big
I agreed with her, it is rare to see a halle berry figure

As ugly as the RAT attack is today (4 seperate incidents), it is not over. Their supporters in MSM and commedians will say that we dont know how to take a joke.

It is going to get worse (and i am think) MSM will keep giving them cover

His breathalizer and inhilator remark, fifty seven states, his claim to have a banking committee, his recent gaffe about being a ‘muslim’— uups. No, I think it’s safe to say his mumbling has nothing to do with legalistic caution. Deep down, he knows it would be best to say nothing.
