Obama: Lipstick on a Pig (Did he just call Sarah Palin a pig and a stinky fish?)

Amie Parnes reports from Lebanon, VA:

Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra.

"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."

"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink."

"We've had enough of the same old thing."

The crowd apparently took the "lipstick" line as a reference to Palin, who described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single word: "lipstick."

>>>Todd Palin should challenge him to a dual for insulting his wife's honor.<<<
—We should parachute in Zell Miller.

I kinda like “You can put lipstick on a Jackass and it still is a democrat.”

Hugh Hewitt is going to play the "fish" part:

The problem with obomination is he is so far left, that as he shows his true extreme position on all levels, he will alienate his base.

He isn’t fit to be (apologies to Ponsonby Britt ) Shoe Shine Boy.

This is a despicable act of a Charlatan.

Hugh Hewitt said that Brack has “Jumped the Pig”.

After this stupid remark the Dems will have to dump Obama and bring out Hillary. I don’t think he’s going to last until November.

You've been around FR for quite some time, so you should know that the odds are about 10-to-1 against this ever making the front page of most newspapers. It would be devastating for Obama to have this get wide publicity, and the pro-Obama editors know it.

They're not all supporting Barry:

Obama is using dirty socialist tactics. Key words “pig” and “smells like a fish” injects a subconcious image into readers heads when thinking of Sarah. This guy is a real sleazeball. I think it is time to fight back with words like “pimp” and “pants pooper” when refering to the other side.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Is he just dumb? I mean, really?

[tioga]

JUmped the pig? I love it! ROTFLMAO!!!

[There's millions of'em]

If we are really lucky maybe he will soon start rappin.
