Obama: Lipstick on a Pig (Did he just call Sarah Palin a pig and a stinky fish?)
Politico ^ | Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | Ben Smith

Posted on 09/09/2008 3:36:33 PM PDT by kristinn

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."

RE: “If it weren’t for Secret Service, I suspect MR. Palin would like to kick 0’s ass from here to way the hell over there.

Or perhaps MRS. Palin would.”

I’m sure that’s true, but no doubt McCain made it clear to Palin that this sort of thing would happen should she join the ticket. She is tough enough to handle it with grace and civility. Must make the left absolutely insane.

So am I getting this straight?

In order for the DNC to kill its DLC village, it had to kill its Obama village?

What village are they trying to boost?

My theory for B.Hussein's increasing rate of foot-in-mouth moments...

I think Mrs.William Jefferson Clinton has been slipping B.Hussein's cook some beef tainted with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (aka Mad Cow Disease) prions.

What other reason can explain B.Hussein's brainrot, where he keeps uttering stupid stuff, punctuated with more stammering and stuttering? Inevitably, his motor skills will diminish, and he won't be able to stand for election.

Mrs.Clinton, for the good of the party and the worldwide village, steps up to assume the nomination, and voila, her nefarious and calculated plan has come to fruition.

ps I hope that one time I tried to read Kos didn't give me Mad Kos Disease and make me write the above!!!!! I've shrugged off the impaired motor skills to the single malt, but you don't think.....that I may...have..........*IT*......do you?

Obama needs a douche, his campaign stinks.

That's a good one. This is the best that the Socialist party can do?

Barak Hussein Obama: You are a piece of $hit. Everything about you is $hit. Your wife is $hit. Your pastor is $hit. In the beginning, I refused to hate you. I was afraid of how inept you are, afraid you were a Manchurian Candidate, but God help me, I didn’t actually HATE you. That has changed. You are worthless. You are garbage. You are a muslim pig and I hope someone spits in your face as the ultimate show of disrespect to you. Buck Ofama....

Please, of all the phrases he could have used , he decided that one? Even after Gov. Palin's quip about lipstick & hockey moms?

No, he tried to walk a tight rope, and fell on his ass.

I ,for one, am tired of excusing his "gaffes"!

Putting lipstick on a pig makes it still a pig is as old as I can remember.

We aren't stupid. Most of us know the old saying. It is YOU who doesn't understand the context in which it was used it what makes it so vile.

I’m sure that Obama was referring to the McCain/Palin policies rather than the individuals. However, he said what he said, and I am more than willing to hoist him on his own petard and use it against him in any way possible.

#####

No one is claiming that it is an original comment. Delivered 5 days after Sarah Palin gave her speech with her “lipstick!” punchline, it is a direct reference to Sarah Palin as a pig.

Yesterday on Rachel Madcow’s new PMSNBC show, some liberal puke guy called Sarah Palin a pig,(porker) twice! They got a big laugh out of that.

No, these Obama pukes had all this planned out and I'll bet they put out talking points on it to the inner circle pukes.

"It was run past 8 campaign advisers and 2 focus groups"

Yea, that Kurt Grove guy is running all his focus groups and writing his snappy one liners.

Not that Hawaii can’t be a very, very rough place, but that’s mostly the polynesians and Hawaiians, not so much the blacks, I don’t think.

“better than Kerry in a bunny suit.” I’m not sure if anything could top that.
