A pig...
"You know, you can put lipstick on a pig ... and it is still a pig."
Given the Palin comment on lipstick during her speech at the Republican Convention, this cannot be a coincidence. But say for a moment that it was ... a mistake. That by itself would show a spectacular lack of control and folly. This was scripted. This was not offhand. I have heard the clip: Obama waits for the laugh ... and then delivers the punchline. There is simply no way that he or bis campaign accidentally used this old turn of phrase -- but it is just possible that they failed to see how this would relate back to Palin's speech. If so, then they are too stupid to be allowed into office and engage in international politics.
But if it was not a usage mistake ... then it is far worse. A deliberate slur on a woman running for Vice President of the United States -- by the other side -- a low, clumsy, stupid assault on her femininity, a playground taunt ... infantile. And yet, the liberal, democrat-controlled press seems to want to let this slip away. If a Republican had said that to a Democrat female candidate, then we would not be able to imagine the media hoopla that would seek to bring down the sexist that uttered those remarks. But Barack ... cannot be sexist or racist, can he. He is the Messiah.
As the Messiah, a Democrat congressman, Steve Ira Cohen of Tennessee, said on the floor of the House today: "Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor." What? Is Palin to be likened to the Pilate? Steven Ira Cohen is casting that allusion? Steve Cohen elected after 24 years in the Tenn. State Senate, only lately (in 2006) to Congress? A career liberal?
But things that are taboo in the Liberal lexicon are all fair game to use against Palin. The Liberal press say that it would be silly for McCain to go after Obama for this, and that attack ads are beneath the Presidential race. But it is OK for liberal Obama supporters to do so against their hated Republican foes. I guess that is it: Liberals HATE Republicans with such fervor, that they are simply unable to see when they are also alienating huge swaths of the American public.
This stinks.
