Actually, I think the McCain campaign’s outrage *is* ersatz. However the outrage from ordinary Americans, esp. the PUMAs is quite genuine. Surely the McCain campaign recognizes that Obama wasn’t actually attacking Palin as a ‘pig’, but trying to be too clever by half, and as so often happens when someone tries to be too clever, falling flat.
If Obama were smart, he’d have avoided the ‘lipstick on a pig’ metaphor. It seem’s Obama isn’t smart. How much affirmative action was involved in his Harvard admission?
then he keeps on going and going...brings it up on letterman. Obama may or may not be sexist but he sure is stupid!
