Obama: Lipstick on a Pig (Did he just call Sarah Palin a pig and a stinky fish?)
Politico ^ | Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | Ben Smith

Posted on 09/09/2008 3:36:33 PM PDT by kristinn

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."

“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered. “It’s still a pig.”


I’m sure this will go over well with most women.

No, it's a double hit on Palin ~ "fish", and "lipstick" ~ both the kind of references male homosexuals make about women, and about what are known as "lipstick lesbians".

Obama is really shaken up to have let down his guard this far.

Yes, remember when he dissed Hillary by making the finger and pretending to brush off his suit while talking about her.

“The fish rots from the head down” - Michael Dukakis.

That worked well.

I thought the “old fish” was a shot at McCain.

Who was it now, who said: “Words mean something”?

If this gets play, he gets skewered.

I’m telling you, the guy is rattled.

Gee Barry, where's all that "uniting-all-Americans" diarrhea you were spewing just a few months ago?

Guess you meant uniting all Liberal-Americans. The rest of us infidels are just sewage to you, eh?

What a nice guy you are, Scumbag. I hope you lose 90% to 10% on 11/04.

Who is Obama running against? McCain or Palin?

He has to beat on a woman, because he's not man enough to stand up to McCain!

McCain’s choice is brilliant. Osamma can’t stop talking about her.
