Oh they get it and everyone who watches them gets it ... what the few at FNC are doing is to refuse uttering the obvious ... zero meant his statement just as he choreographed it with the pause and hand to his forehead and just as we heard it... Fox is trying to be diplomatic or 'fair and balanced' as they like to say. They think we are idiots!
If zero did not intend to use the lipstick comment as a dig at the McCain/Palin ticket then he could just as easly used the age old adage "You can't change the stripes on a tiger"! Or even better "You can take the boy out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of the boy"!
Indeed. . .and for sure on the last option here.
As for Fox News; send them e-mails often to remind them - that reporting spin'-as-truth is not fair and does not contribute to balance. Albeit, in this case, one can get away more easily, admitting to having seen a pig - just not one wearing lipstick.
