A Pig is a Pig with Lipstick or not....

OK, so Obama said that if you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. Was he necessarily referring to Palin?

I don't think so. It IS a phrase he has used before and it is a pretty common expression. Was it particularly smart? 

No.

But it does show that the McCain camp is willing to use sex as a weapon in this election. Let me say one thing. If that fucking ridiculous woman, who handles herself well in public and speaks very convincingly about being able to stand up to the big boys, can't handle the idea of someone calling her a name, then all the McCain camp is saying is that women aren't ready for the stresses of big politics. 

I personally do not believe that. I think that palin can handle that and I think she needs to get in front of it and call it what it is. A stupid ploy that should be beneath the RNC and the McCain campaign, specifically.

McCain is clearly trying to smear the competition. He may disagree, but let's be honest. If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.
