Don’t know if this is true but picked up on another site that you could hear some in the crowd chant Sarah in the background during the lipstick incident.
RUSH:...the same day that Obama makes the "lipstick on a pig" joke and his crowd is out there chanting, "No more pit bull!" So it is very obvious that his crowd knew. They laughed and they applauded his joke. They did not think it was just the standard used political cliche, that is overused by politicians of all stripes. However, his audience -- and this is his problem on this -- his audience laughed. They loved it, and they started shouting, "No more pit bull." So, we're watching a meltdown here I think of seismic proportions.

Thanks. Good to know this was picked up.
My take on it was that the crowd knew it was her, and he delivered the line for effect.
