Mark Steyn on Obama's "Piggate" bumble this morning. He's no longer the iconic cool guy we met back in the snows of Iowa. There's no there there!

Empty suits eventually collapse under the weight of gravity, there is nothing holding them up but momentum and energy, once that is gone...pffft...to the floor..

And Steyn is right, Lib elites do sneer at anyone they consider of lower class, their problem is they do such a poor job of concealing that contempt.

I agree with Mark K that Governor Palin, who kills elk for breakfast, shouldn't be seen to complain Obama-like about how beastly and mean her opponents are...................... That's what Sarah should do: Put on a happy face.

I agree

And the rest of us should pile on Obama, which is exactly what is happening.

The campaign should stay out of this fight.

It would be interesting to compare the number of WOMEN writers/blogger/etc who hate Palin to the number of MEN.

I think there’s at least an element of female envy at work here.

Don’t need to watch Lindsay Lohan to know there are “Bad Girls” in the world, and that they have claws.

This comment is about what a small, petty man Barry Obama is, and that is really why it is such an uproar!

Actually, Kathryn Lopez on NR had the best response for Palin I can imagine.

At the next rally. Pull out some lipstick. Put it on. Then go to the mic and say “I said ‘pitbull’, not ‘pig’.”

It’s humorous. But most important, it’s strong and not whiney. Let’s leave whiney to BO and his buds in the media.

The problem is not whether Obama's sexist but whether he's disciplined enough to keep the public from glimpsing the less attractive elements of liberal-elite condescension.

That is absolutely correct. Obamie, as liberals always do, will talk about anything, and I mean anything, before he's going to talk issues. It doesn't even matter if it puts him in a bad light, major scandal notwithstanding. It's all "look over here! look over here! nothing to see over there!"

slick Willie was the master at that.

Maybe Obama's comment was anti-police.

If you read Obama's books, you know that his preferred voice is a detached, slightly unknowable cool.

And a voice from beyond the grave screams:

Listen Skizziks! You ain't cool, you chilly!
An' chilly ain't never been cool!

The Leftists like to refer to people as pigs.

Obama can say it wasn't about Sarah but from the reaction of his audience, they thought he was referring to Sarah. They all laughed hysterically and gave him a standing ovation.
