An Obama campaign spokeswoman opened today's Morning Joe with an aggressive defense of his lipstick line, arguing that Obama was being criticized "for saying something that John McCain has said before, that Barack Obama frequently says about 'you can dress something up.' He was talking about the Republican change argument."
A bit later, bolstering her argument, the spokeswoman described the conference call the McCain campaign arranged to respond to Obama's line. She pointed out that all the reporters asking questions on the call were women, and that all of them asked McCain representative Jane Swift "are you serious?" in alleging that Obama was alluding to Palin.
Concluded the Obama spokeswoman: "If you read the quotation in context, he's not talking about Sarah Palin." Oh, wait. That wasn't an Obama spokeswoman. It was Andrea Mitchell, sitting in for Mika Brzezinski.

If Sarah laughs this off and gets in a little joke at Obama’s expense (effectively putting this to bed), this whole event will be a strategic success. The real secret here is not to look like you are milking it while showing how tough Sarah is. Feminists will remember, believe me. They need no memory prod.
Something like, “our opponent apparently can’t tell the difference between a pig and a pitbull. I can show him pictures... (laugh). Seriously, John and I know that this is going to be a spirited campaign and I can promise you that I don’t bend and I don’t break! (applause)”
Its a shame that buffet didn’t land on him. LOL!
Obama has a history of these types of things.
He does them in a way that he can “plausibly deny” what he was doing. He always got the benefit of the doubt for one reason or another.
This time could be different.
Discussing Obama's past jobs is now a hate crime.
;o)
Just yesterday, the Governor of New York was saying that Sarah Palin calling 0bama a "Community Organizer" was a code-word racial attack.
Oh, you say... That can't be right!
BTW, Andrea does not do well in HD!
>>What a hoot! The MSM has interpreted many McCain comments as meaning racism.<<
Which is why I think McCain is setting a dangerous precedent by objecting to the “Lipstick on a pig” comment. That phrase has been used by a lot of Republicans. He is inviting the MSM to read his mind to determine what he means in the future.
Bring in the balloons!!!
:)
“BTW, Andrea does not do well in HD!”
LOL! I was trying to think of something to say about that, but all of my comments were crude. Yours is much better.
How about a 10% discount coupon to the local putt-putt? ;-)
Do ya’ll think he’ll keep saying this? Or will it disappear from his stump speech? Interesting to speculate.

One look at the tape and it’s obvious he was referring to Sarah. As soon as he made the “pig” comment the audience erupted into applause and laughter....they got the message...now we must get the message. I just contributed to the RNC to stop Barack Hussein Obama!!
Still one of the big highlights of the GOP-con!
What a scumbag!
Oh yes, Andrea Mitchell, who said that only uneducated women will like Sarah Palin. So she disagrees with the LA Times? How interesting.
that Barack Obama frequently says about 'you can dress something up.'
...oh brother Andrea. You can't even get THAT Obamassiah quote right!!!!
OK Andrea....THIS IS THE QUOTE:
