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.

Whether or not Nobama was jabbing at Palin is irrelevant.
It’s the way people PERCIEVE his comment.
In today’s world, PERCEPTION IS REALITY.
THAT is what will doom Brother Hussein.
I keep running behind you on these threads. =] Yes, if BO did, in fact, flip Hillary off three times in public, Andrea Mitchell’s going to be in an awkward position indeed.
Of course he didn’t mean it, its just an saying...sort of like Macaca.
Maybe he’s getting tired of eating hotel food fish these last 19 months....but has anyone ever seen him eat bacon?
No, Andrea, you’re not too transparent.
Hussein was so obviously talking about Sarah Palin with both comments that everyone who saw and heard it knows it to be true, whether they admit it or not. Turn off the sound and look at his gestures right before the pig comment exits his foul face orifice. He’s just trying to keep from sneering his usual ugly expression when he delivers his ‘zingers’.
The primitives who infest the Left blogosphere are so encouraged and want Huseein to use the term in every speech and statement. Oh, I agree; let him. Let him say “Sarah, is a pi-ig” every single day.
But, they went on and on about what a mistake that Obama made not picking Mrs. Clinton.
You do have to admit Andrea Mitchell knows something about putting lipstick on a pig. When are they sending this old nag out to pasture.
Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops
Three different times, you say? This is the DNC's leader.
Hope you got to see the McCain/Palin ad on this ugly comment. It’s priceless.
Yup, the two sides call each other names (racist! sexist!) while neither is really proposing anything to deal with real problems. How sad. What a bunch of petty playground punks.
Pat Buchanan made the comment that it’s not what he said but what people heard.
Clearly the folks at the campaign stop heard SARAH PALIN IS A PIG
notice how the democrat partisan media is ignorign the “stinky fish”
what part of the woman is the stinky fish.....
Obama knew EXACTLY what he was doing.
pig means palin
stinky fish means palin.
“A black man making a subtle reference to a white woman being a pig?”
Subtle? Obama was anything but subtle.
I was surprised. Her exact words were "How stupid of a person do you have to be to think that is a smart thing to say? I can't get to the point of being offended by it because I can't get past how stupid it was."
Call out the attack baloooooons!!!!!
Actually she is not that old. As my wife said rather off the cuff ‘multiple face-lifts cannot cover an unkind maturity’.
No! He was, ahh....
He was talkin' about that OTHER 44 year-old female gover from Alaska! Yeah! Dat's it!
Her, ahh... her name is Morgan! Morgan Fairchild!
Yeah! Dat's da ticket!
An' she was naked!
