Lets start with the obvious and inarguable: Of course Sen. Barack Obamas comment about lipstick on a pig was a reference to Supergirl Sarah Palin.
You know it, I know it and the partisan crowd that literally rose to their feet and cheered when they heard it know it.
And its nothing new. Democrats shot the lipstick line at Gov. Palin on their official Web site last week with a posting entitled McCains Selection of Palin is Lipstick on a Pig - accompanied by what Im sure was intended to be a flattering photo of the Alaska outdoorswoman.
And - coincidence or something more? - the same day Obama made his crack, a Democratic congressman introducing Joe Biden said of Sarah Palin, Theres no way you can dress up her record, even with a lot of lipstick.
If there was anyone in the audience still too dense to get it - say, an employee of CNN, perhaps - Obama immediately followed up with a reference to the McCain/Palin campaign wrapping an old fish in a piece of paper called change.
A lipstick-wearing pig and an old fish? Gee, who could he possibly be talking about?
So please, my Obama-supporting friends, lets stop the nonsense about how Obamas lipstick talk was, as he put it yesterday, an innocent comment, or that the reaction is phony outrage.
You want phony outrage? Flashback to Hillary Clintons 3 a.m. ad. Remember it? The helpless children asleep in bed, the insistent ringing phone, etc., etc. And some Obama supporters immediately cried racism because, they claimed, the ad played on white fears of black home invaders.
Or, even more laughable, that the first three letters of the word night in the kids Goodnight Moon pajamas were highlighted for nefarious purposes.
Now that was phony...

Yup. He is full of it
Great. The more the voters see of the Democrat ticket, the more they want to vote for McCain.
Good article! What a weasel - making attacks and then denying them. Is this the “new kind of politics” Obama promised?
Is there anyone with half a brain out there who is still supporting this guy? Don’t answer. I’m afraid I know already.
It’s absolutely revealing, over the past 48 hours, Obama’s peculiar and bizarre behavior. He’s becoming unglued and is coming down in flames and he knows it. The way that he’s reacting to all of this negative media towards him right now - as well as the entire country being appalled at his continuous remarks about the ‘lipstick’, ‘pig’ & ‘stinky fish’ — even when he says that it must stop — yet he goes on Letterman last night and keeps repeating it like a really bad stand-up comedian..... all of that it showing us all that the man has some deep-rooted psychological issues.
I want to know if he’s been under medication before. In my singlehood days, I dated guys like these (passive-aggressive; attention-seekers) and it’s just bad, bad, bad. He’s just not ‘Presidential’ at all.... just a guy with no real background, no real roots and a ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude.
Greta column, Michael!
Greta = Great
I wish she'd stop niggling the Obama supporters. errrr, oooops, I mean, I wish that she'd stop finding fault with (someone) in a petty way..... bwahahahahaaaaa....
Lipstick pig and Old fish for VP and POTUS!! ahhahahahaha.
If I can't say niggardly, he can't talk about lipstick. Fair's fair.
In fairness, when I heard his comment it instantly evoked Palin’s self-description as a pit bull with lipstick. The comment cudda been innocent, but it's like a White politician callin’ him niggardly. Not smart.
“Just a hockey mom with a bachelors degree, who has brought the great and powerful Obama to his knees.”
And by the power and strength of the Savior who sustains her!
Whoopi admitted to this recently on The View, where she said (Hussein) Obama is in the very difficult place of trying not to intimidate whites while informing them that they are being taken over, in so many words.
What's funny is that he's such a skinny little snot. Most American men (real men) could crush his sternum with one punch. It's funny when he lets his oratory skim along the surface of jive.
No, she's not
Nice that, when in trouble, Obama can always count on a visit with Letterman, to get his revision out there quickly.
(Amazing how often we hear per his defense - he could not be that 'stupid'. Can only way, with so many enablers, 'why not'?) By and large; Obama will skate again; and with a trail of 'swiftboating' accusations covering his tracks.
More than a few at Fox News ‘refuse’ to get it, as well. ..
I wonder if this was written by a speechwriter or his own words. Either way it really backfired on him with the American people. It was definitely a planned statement and everyone knows it no matter how the MSM creeps denys it.
Perhaps,tomorrow. . .not many in media discussing this aspect either(!). . .yet.
