    Default Sarah Palin Can't Take a Joke

    The Mc Cain team wants an apology for a funny but innocuous comment Mr Obama made at a campaign stop. Seems they're better at giving one-liners than taking them.
    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080910/...obama_lipstick


    [SNIP]
    Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama told an audience Tuesday that GOP presidential nominee John McCain says he'll change Washington, but he's just like President Bush.
    "You can put lipstick on a pig," he said to an outbreak of laughter, shouts and raucous applause from his audience, clearly drawing a connection to Palin's joke. "It's still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still going to stink after eight years."
    McCain's campaign immediately organized a telephone conference call in response and called on Obama to apologize for calling Palin a pig. Obama's campaign said he wasn't referring to Palin; he had been talking about McCain immediately before the lipstick comment.
    Obama followed up by saying Palin is an interesting story, drawing boos at the mention of her name that he tried to cut off.
    "Look, she's new, she hasn't been on the scene, she's got five kids. And my hat goes off to anybody whose looking after five. I've got two and they tire Michelle and me out," he said.
    McCain has used the lipstick phrase, too.
    Last year while criticizing health proposals from the Democratic presidential candidates, he said Hillary Rodham Clinton's resembled the failed plan she offered as first lady during the 1990s. "I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," McCain of her proposal.
    In Virginia, a questioner asked Obama to join Republicans and agree that candidates' families and religion are off limits. Palin's pregnant teenage daughter and the teachings of her church, the nondenominational Wasilla Bible Church, have been the subject of scrutiny since McCain picked her as his running mate.
    Obama responded that he already has said families are off limits and he's very protective of his daughters, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha. He said he doesn't want their inevitable future mistakes to become newspaper fodder if he gets to the White House.
    Obama also is no stranger to attacks on his religion. He's been the subject of a false rumor campaign saying he's a Muslim, and the racially tinged sermons of his longtime former preacher caused problems for his campaign earlier this year.
    He stressed that he's a Christian and "so the fact that Gov. Palin is deeply religious, that's a good thing." He said poking around in her religion or saying it's wrong is "offensive" and he wants to have a debate about the issues.
    "But don't give people some sort of religious litmus test because I don't want somebody to question my faith and I'm certainly not going to question somebody else's," he said.[SNIP]

    O.M.G! Like they have made no jokes at his expense.

    Seriously, that war loving, aerial hunting, book banning BITCH needs to just shut the fuck up and go the hell away. Like yesterday. And she should take old McSame with her. Then and only then would they be honestly putting country first instead of just saying it.

    LOL!!!!! You are starting to sound like me.


    Obama and Hillary for that matter... have been through hell from Republicans and the media. She can step up. What is she going to do when another country bashes the US?



    GI John McCain and Caribou Barbie are pathetic.

    oh no, I sound much worse I'm just sooooo over the conservatives and their constant, never ending hypocrisy from the candidates, their supporters and their party in general.

    Plus this lady bugs the shot out of me anyway because she is this unqualified, token, get used for some TV time type woman and she seems just fine with that too. Ugh. It goes against every feminist bone in my body.

    Yup, it's pretty common. It's not necessarily a reference to the woman being a pig. I don't know if it's southern because I heard it in Hoboken first! LOL

    Exactly. They want to cry foul at every little thing. They purposely find stuff to take offense to because it's "sexist" but then want her to be taken seriously as a candidate. They're saying, stop treating her different because she's a woman but lay off her - she's a woman! The cognitive dissonance in that camp is AMAZING.

    I've never heard that version of the statement. What I have heard is " you can put a dress on a pig, but you still have a pig". His using the word 'lipstick" was ill-advised at best, given that she herself had used the lipstick word as a punch line to describe herself a week earlier. In a campaign as scripted ( at least till now ) as Obama's, I can't believe they'd be this sloppy.

    I've heard both versions before. Still McCain has said the same thing in the past. They are really starting to kill me with this reverse sexism bulls***

    I only see it as a problem because her "lipstick comment" was so recent. A few months from now it wouldn't mean as much and, to that extent, even his camp would probably admit better judgement should have been used.

    Lipstick on a pig....Lipstick on a pitbull.....Tit for tat....Sarah Palin described herself as a "dog" with lipstick. At least pigs are considered highly intelligent animals.

    This is much ado about nothing IMO but I think if you referred to yourself or other women using the B-word, you still wouldn't accept me referring to you like that nor would Black folks using the N-word frequently appreciate hearing it come out of my mouth.

    If you'll admit it was a poor chice of words on his part, I'll admit he probably didn't mean anything by it.

    It was a perfect choice of words. She's a greedy, pork barrel pig and good on 'em for poking fun at it--I mean, her!

    Its part of every governor's job to garner as much "pork" for his or her state, so I'm glad you think she was a good governor.

    Gee, maybe the messiah said those words because he knew it would distract the Republicans from talking about issues for a day. Ever think of that? I mean, higher taxes, more handouts, and a weaker military are a tough sell.

    Exactly................they loved to boo hoo over Obama acting like a rockstar but they are going to squeeze all they can out of Sarah's Palin's new "rockstar" status.

    No VP candidate has gone from a convention to not speaking to anyone for almost a week....but she flies around signing autographs...I find that disturbing and insulting. She wants to play with the big boys....PROVE IT.



    As for the pig comment.....Obama was not talking about her. Sarah Palin was the one who claimed to be a big BAD ASS at the convention. She set herself up for a lot more than she has gotten.


    Her church wants to pray away the gays...can I pray away the Republicans....so freaking sick on them.

    Speaking only for myself, I think it just shows he's not too bright for creating a situation where he might be perceived as having made a sexist insult.

    The messiah? Are you referring to Palin. Anyways, I hardly think Obama needs to distract people from the disastrous 8 years of Bush and his GOP crony's.

    BINGO!!!!


    Has Sarah Palin stepped up and apologized to all those community organizers yet who were the butt of her joke? I'm sure they are registered to vote by now.
