I caught a brief glimpse of this story at work today. My first reaction was similar to yours: this is silly. If I'd had the time, I might have posted a comment to that effect.

But driving home, I thought about it. Yeah, it is silly. But when you think of all the stupid ways the left has done the same thing to our guys, I really just plain don't care anymore. What's good for the goose...

I don't know if it was truly meant as a joke about Palin. Maybe it was. The pig with lipstick and the old fish. Seems like it was. It wouldn't have been a big deal to me, and I wouldn't have had the political brains to seize upon it. But then, that's why I'm not in politics, which is an inherently silly and petty business.

Trying to ruin a man over an alleged 10 yr.old comment about pubic hair on a soda can comes to mind.

Potato”e” comes to mind.

its meant to deride and belittle ....don't anyone believe otherwise....

it makes our candidate look smaller ...just like a bully makes himself look bigger and his conquest smaller....

so fight back McCain....I am sure Sarahbarcuda can think of a humorous way to do it....

If you doubt it was meant as an insult and reference to Palin, then listen to the audience’s reaction. They were laughing and cheering. They knew.

Just words? Just speeches?

And this guy would conduct foreign policy with “good judgment.”

Think about the double standard that is always applied— if for example McCain or Palin referred to Obama as the “dark horse” in the race when he is down in the polls- what do you think would be the reaction of the Obama team and the lefties? Would they just say it is an old saying or would they think it was a racial slur toward Obama? We all know what the reaction would be...if conservatives have to walk such a tight rope of word usage then it should also apply to the dims.
