The Messiah’s getting desperate, calling our gal a pig. Little bit of flop sweat there.
He didn't call her a pig. He used a time-worn cliche. If McCain had chosen Mitt Romney as his VP and Obama has used that same cliche, no one would have noticed. The fact that he chose Palin does not make it a sexist comment, any more than the use of "niggardly" or "eeny meeny miny mo" is racist. For any of us to whine about it is buying into the left's political correctness and I'm not willing to do that.
I would have derided anyone complaining of
McCain's use of the expression to describe Hillary's health care plan, and I'll deride anyone who complains of it now.
Senator McCain, Governor Palin - don't whine. It's unattractive...
