"Lipstick On A Pig" Update

The McCain campaign is holding a conference call with former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift, who is calling on Barack Obama to apologize to Sarah Palin for his "lipstick on a pig" comment. "We need to continually combat this stream of insults," Swift said, referring specifically to "what I can only deem to be disgraceful comments comparing our vice presidential nominee, Gov. Palin, to a pig."

Reporters were a bit skeptical that Obama intended to do that; from the sketchy reports we have, he seemed to be talking about how John McCain can claim to represent change but isn't really an agent of change. But Swift said, "it's pretty clear the crowd thought that that was the insult he was leveling." And Swift made the (hopefully) undeniable observation that Palin is the only one of the four national candidates who wears lipstick.

[ErinBerin84]

6. yes...

in fact, very sexist of them...they should add "in public".














is the media going to point out how fucking arrogant (and well, insane) it is to co-opt ancient sayings as being SPECIFICALLY aimed at ATTACKING a particular person? !

[anonymous171]

2. Reminds me of fingergate.

Appeal to the crowds logic. "The crowd may have thought that's what he meant so that's what he meant!"

[Kdillard]

4. Jesus Christ they are idiots. I don't know how the press keeps from

laughing at them everytime they launch one of these ridiculous complaints.

[hulklogan]

5. John McCain is confused again.

When will the lies and fabrications stop?

all have to bow our heads in shame again.....

[Beaverhausen]

32. What? Did Hume actually post DU posts?

well he can kiss my ass. If Palin wants to be VP she can learn to take a little criticism. Goddess knows she can dish it out.

[Beaverhausen]

8. oops- dupeage

[flpoljunkie]

9. Let them whine. It's what they do best--work the refs!

[Connie_Corleone]

10. So, the McCain campaign is admitting Palin is a pig??

[glancingthefuture]

11. I knew this would backfire on the Democrats

[jefferson_dem]

17. Really?

Has your concern born fruit?

[ErinBerin84]

18. it should. On the McCain campaign.

seriously, all we have to do is fucking quote McCain saying the same thing about Hillary's policies, and Obama saying the same thing in regards to Bush. They'll do anything at this point, next they'll claim that Obama flushes babies down toilets, who FUCKING cares?

[Cha]

33. It hasn't backfired on Obama..only on

the pig with lipstick.

[lonestarnot]

12. How bout lipstick on a lying pig? 7 times now she's lied over that fucking bridge.

[seabeyond]

21. i thought it was 23. wink. n/t

[bklyncowgirl]

13. Obama did not call Palin a pig--that would be an insult to our porcine brethren

She called herself a pit bull with lipstick--in other words a bitch.

[me b zola]

14. Palin compares herself to a dog and a fish

But I do hope that they throw a great big hissy fit over this, because Obama is speaking of the pork/earmarks that Palin has lobbied for and taken--and only an idiot wouldn't know that.

[symbolman]

15. Yes but both Repigs

load up with Lobbyists and Pork, sooooo...

[americanstranger]

16. God, they're idiotic.

They think this will really fly? they really must think we're stupid.

I noticed the byline on the Corner post is Byron York. Symbolman and I had a run-in with him a few years ago over stuff we said on Take Back The Media.

He was then, and is now, a blow-dried hack of the first order.

[ClarkUSA]

24. Dejas-vu all over again. Didn't we go thru this faux "sexism" outrage daily during the primary?

Geeze, McCain learned everything they know from Mark Penn and Harold Wolfson.

[Hutzpa]

26. lol!!

bwahahahahaha!!!!


:rofl:

[4themind]

27. How can she "ONLY" deem it as a disgraceful comment?

For that to be true, she'd have to disprove the other known alternatives (that he was referring to McCain/Palin attempts to put glamor on a soiled record) So I think the most intellectually honest thing to do is to either provided the metrics that she has to eliminate those other possibilities or admit her lack of evidence.

[blogslut]

28. "...Palin is the only one of the four national candidates who wears lipstick..."

SHALLOW ALERT: Actually, I'm pretty sure she's got permanent lip liner. :)

[wiseoldman]

29. Very Very Clever!

Let them cry victim and get more media coverage on them "Putting Lipstick (McCain/Palin) on the Pig (George W. Bush).

Well Done Barack!

[Pisces]

Do they not know the meaning of it?? It has nothing to do with women. We all know what it means....perhaps they are paranoid....

[DCBob]

36. This is one those great subtle seemingly unintended insults you can get away with.

Well done Barack!!

[JustAnotherGen]

37. Now wait one minute!

How do we know for CERTAIN that Obama wasn't talking about Ghouliani?
