Easy Irish.



She can wrap that lipstick around my dipstick any day.


Bottom line, McCain and co. are eager to jump on anything that they can use on Obama. Remember Obama. You can't say his full name. You can't say he's black. You can't disagree because to do so implies you are racist.

Their attempting to use this figure of speech against him shows just how foundationally challenged the republican platform is.


That's the story. This is the clinging to bitter issues and empty rhetoric Obama was talking about.

Palin is a religious nutter. They have a million quotes they can use against her without photoshopping pictures of her.


Is election is pathetic.

I will be writing in Ron Paul.

Are you saying he actually said she was a pig with lipstick on? Because I think you'll find he was talking about the Republicans campaign being the same as the Bush administration's.

If he had said "you can't polish a turd" would McCain have said Obama was calling her a piece of shit? I think this says more about what McCain thinks of his running mate than what Obama thinks.

hmmm... well the crowd seemed to start laughing right away.  even one lady had a shocked face.  so it seems everyone thought he was saying it except him then.  either way.

oh will you stop.  obama has never used that expression before since i have been hearing him.  you know what he was saying.  and yes, it WOULD give obama the right if he detects something.  has he?  did palin say something?  how about mccain?

no?  didnt think so.

she didnt come out and cry before the convention about if i lose it is because i am a woman.  give me a break.  nice try brad.

It was a jab.  A poor one.  The dems just keep making it easier.  It wasn't about sex at all.  It was bash on her character.  Palin basically said that she was a pit bull.  Obama likened her to a pig instead.  And then wasn't even man enough to own up to it...  Who's the real bitch?

She needs to grow a set of testicles or have been through the menopause. When McCain croaks do you want someone who gets 'a bit emotional' once a month holding the nuclear codes? Never trust anything that can bleed for several days... and live.

In the OP video it's McCain using the same figure of speech.

sigh.

interesting he never used until after the convention speech?  also just sheer coincidence another senator made a comment like that after the convention speech?  right.

"Obama's woes have nothing to do with lipstick"

This dude is spot on.

At least that article sticks to actual issues, I can respect that. This 'lipstick on a pig' bullshit is pure nonsense for the idiots and white trash to gobble up.

Okay, I do not think any regular here has any doubt about my stance, politically, or where I stand in this election.

That being said, I think a lot is being made about nothing.  "Putting lipstick on a pig" is an actual saying (at least in parts of the south).  I have heard it before.  It means that trying to pretty up something ugly (a pig) does not make it stop being that thing.   The pig in this metaphor is not Palin, it is the Republican party.  Palin is the lipstick, in this case.  It is actually a back-handed compliment of Palin, if you look at it sort of sideways, implying that the person who blogged this may consider her to be slightly better than the average Republican.  Then again, maybe not.

Actually, the comment was kind of clever, and sure to resonate.  Still, I think this is a non-issue.  And this is coming from a stalwart anti-Obama person.

Totally agree with you that this is a lot of being made about nothing. I'm tired of this back and forth bickering about petty stuff like this. Both sides need to get real and start lying to us about proposed policies.
