Obama: 'Lipstick on a pig'

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."

Obama called Sarah Palin a pig - according to Drudge this was at a speech today. This is rapidly becoming breaking news.

What does that comment have to do with liberalism or fascism?

[Donny_Brasco]

Funny how you cons think of a woman when someone uses the word pig.

Having a moral delemia with your own VP pick? I think she's kind of cool. Shame on you.

You guys think Obama made up the term "lipstick on a pig"?

Can't find any real issues to dis the guy for, eh?

Would you say this if Bush said this about Hillary, just for example.

It's the same thing as saying candy coating, same shit different pile, making a silk purse out of a sow's ear or as userless as tits on a boar. it's not a commentary on Palin personally, just what they rightfully or wrongfully think of the Republican platform in general. All they are saying is that they[Republicans] are trying to repackage and disguise the same thing, and hopefully fool the electorate.

People are making a mountain out of a mole hill or creating a tempest in a teapot, and will end up cutting their noses off to spite their face if they get too carried away with it.

Personally, I've never heard this exact usage, but I have heard people say, "It's like putting perfume on a pig".

No kidding - I think I'm going to turn off the view of all the political threads because it gets pretty pathetic at the best of times, and now with two federal elections coming up, you get nonsense like this.

The issue is blowing up on Obama big time. In the context that Palin essentially called herself a 'pitbull with lipstick' the lipstick thing is tied to her and Obama isn't getting any wiggle room on this even from the local liberal media in Sacramento.

Sounds like feminism trumps liberalism in Sacramento.

I agree, you would figure a smooth operator like him would have have chosen his words better after her hockey mom statement, though as usual the Libs around here see it differently

Oooh - Biden made a boo-boo: He told a Missouri state senator named Chuck Graham “stand up Chuck, let ‘em see ya.”

Chuck Graham is a paraplegic who is wheelchair bound. (We need a facepalm smilie for this one.)
