putting lipstick on a pig
A term used by many, generally in reference to someone who may be trying to make something or someone look appealing or attractive when it quite clearly will not work, or will only deceive the dumbest of people.

It will be interesting if this turns into a Dean Scream moment and sinks Obama. Any suggestions that the media is liberally biased is laughable if the MSM lets the Repubs make hay over this.

Wow... you all are really reaching here. :lmao

[PEP]

What the McCain campaign should do is have Palin go out there saying how shocked she is that Obama would say such a thing about a woman. Even though I dont think he meant it in that way. It will put the Obama campaign on the defensive and have him uhhing and ahhing his way out of it.

Howabout Biden's gaff today?

Biden had an awkward moment during a rally in Columbia, Mo., Tuesday. At the start of his remarks, he pointed out several state lawmakers in the audience for praise. When he got to Chuck Graham, a state senator from Green Meadows, Biden urged the lawmaker to "stand up Chuck, let 'em see ya."

But Graham, who is in a wheelchair, can't stand up - a fact Biden quickly picked up on.

It's like my IPOD comparison, people are fascinated with Palin because she's new and people don't know her track record, except for what has been spun by the M$M spin-meisters, just like Obama at first, but soon all the gory little details come out, like her and her hubby's association to a Alaskan freedom party and her belief that abortion shouldn't be available for any woman, even in cases of incest or rape, or her obsessive views on the ties between religion and politics, of which Bush is her role model....unfortunately for the GOP, we still have plenty of time for women to flip-flop again...

[2centsworth]

let's see, Palin draws a comparison between herself and a pitbull with the only difference being lipstick. Now Obama draws the comparison, but this time calling her a pig.

Maybe he didn't mean to call her a pig in the literally sense, but that's exactly what he said.

We'll see how much those vindictive and die hard Hillary supporters regret their decision when McCain gets a supreme court nominee and then overturns roe/wade.

Asked why she was so confident Obama was "comparing" Palin to a pig, she said Palin was the only one of the four candidates on both parties' tickets who wears lipstick.

"She is the only one of the four candidates for president, or the only vice presidential candidate who wears lipstick," Swift said. "I mean, it seemed to me a very gendered comment."

But, Swift added, if "as part of his apology Sen. Obama wants to say, no, he was calling Sen. McCain -- who is a true hero in our country -- a pig, then I suppose we could wait en masse for an apology to that, as well."

It was pointed out to Swift that, after the line about the pig, Obama had said, "You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called 'change,' it's still gonna stink after eight years."

Swift then suggested that Obama was calling McCain a fish.

Palin's latest intro song (since Heart tried to sue over her use of their song)

Heart didn't "try to sue" anybody for using the song. They just sent a cease and dissist order. And from what I understand, one of the guys who co-wrote the song was thrilled that she used it.

[PixelPusher]

Didn't McCain use the same line to describe Hillary's position on health care?



McCain criticized Democratic contenders for offering what he called costly universal health-care proposals that require too much government regulation. While he said he had not studied Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's plan, he said it was "eerily reminiscent" of the failed plan she offered as first lady in the 1990s.

"I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," he said of her proposal.

My God! He didn't even have the decency to refer to Hillary as "her"...he use "it"! It was certainly no surprise when this turned into a huge story after it happened...oh, wait...

[Yonivore]

No, and if they did I would be equally insulted. But they haven't yet. Nothing this ridiculous. This is a new low.
It was the second "lipstick" reference by the Obama campaign today. There was something certainly intentional going on. I say if he's stupid enough to use the idiom while someone else in his campaign is also making a "lipstick" reference; he deserves what he gets.

Besides, plenty of people -- even in his own audience -- thought he was referring to Palin long before the McCain campaign became offended over the comparison.

Obama worried GOP will inject race into campaign at Florida fund raiser in June."They're going to try to make you afraid." (http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/07/obama_worried_gop_will_inject.html)


Obama said then, "The choice is clear. Most of all we can choose between hope and fear. It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy. We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid. They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"

Falsely implying that another campaign is racist is every bit as bad, if not worse, than Mac's staffers implying that Obama was calling Palin a pig.

Obama never apologized for falsely attributing the racist label to McCain, and I don't expect that an apology from the McCain camp will be forthcoming either.

I mean, what are those people waiting to choose a side if not for stuff like this?

People who are deciding based on crap like this is EXACTLY why we get crap like this.

Anyone who actually believes he was talking about Palin is a fucking moron. There's no other way to put it.

Almost.

While it's pretty clear to me that he wasn't calling Palin a pig, it was clear to me that his use of the figure of speech "lipstick on a pig" was a direct corrolation to Palin's lipstick mention during her RNC speech. The crowd reaction confirms that, IMO.

Either way, it's getting way to much run, and makes me hate politics even more.

Except he's used the term many times during the campaign trail and the phrase has been around LONG before Palin opened her yap at the convention.

I realize that much of the political world thinks Palin is the center of the universe, but she's not.

I agree. It's almost as though McCain has become an afterthought...even for the Obama campaign.

It just shows how desperate republicans are.

Polls don't mean shit and you know it.

you're in denial Manny. Palin is the center of democrat attacks, and you know it. btw, it's fair ball game to attack her. However, it's no coincidence that the dems have used lipstick analogies such as, you can't cover her record with lipstick, to attack her.

The crowd interpreted what he said as an attack on Palin and to say otherwise is dishonest. McCain's attacks were over the top, but I can understand their oversenitivity based on all the over-the-top attacks on Palin.

We will see how it plays out, but Obama is now playing the victim which is a political strategy used by both parties.

McSlime has an sleazy, slimey, typical ad out today accusing HUSSEIN of calling the pitbull bitch a pig.

anybody got the link?

She called herself a vicious dog. "Where's The Beef?"

[TheMadHatter]

McCain is right now riding on the coattails of Palin. She is the one who should really be running for office, not him. He has no personality or charisma and certainly could never carry a ticket on his own like Obama can.

And polls at this point are meaningless. Obama STILL HAS THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE LEAD, which is all that matters.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I feel stupider when things like this muffle out any talk of real issues.

Sad and pathetic.

How do you know he has the lead? Polls?

Well you shouldn't because this is the game of politics. It's not like the winner doesn't have to continue to play this game if he wants to actually accomplish anything.

Some words of wisdom from I guy I can't stand but have to admit he is a skilled politician...

"Suppose for example you're a voter. And you've got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don't think that person can deliver on anything. Candidate Y disagrees with you on half the issues, but you believe that on the other half, the candidate will be able to deliver. For whom would you vote?" - Bill Clinton

Damn, you're right; Kerry's a sexist pig!

I see nothing wrong with McCain's statement.

[IceColdBrewski]

Yes, Obama was trying to be cute with the "lipstick" remark.

No, he wasn't expecting this kind of backlash.

You gotta hand it to those Dems boy. They just can't keep from steppin on their own dicks and kickin their own asses. :lol

[JoeChalupa]

All I know is I'm having BLT's for dinner.....less the lipstick of course.

[Buddy Holly]

of course not except when Obama is leading them right?:lmao

You do know there's something called the electoral college that decides who becomes President, don't you?

[101A]

You do know there's something called the electoral college that decides who becomes President, don't you?

And in those are the POLLS that show Obama is leading in; so THOSE are the POLLS you trust.

I believe you have been pwned.

[Buddy Holly]

The crowd interpreted what he said as an attack on Palin and to say otherwise is dishonest.

Why? Because they laughed? Go look at the McCain "Lipstick on a Pig" video, the people in the crowd in front of him start laughing like he was Chris Rock.

[Buddy Holly]

And in those are the POLLS that show Obama is leading in; so THOSE are the POLLS you trust.

How was I "pwned"? That dumbass brought up McCain leading in the polls, which have no barring on who becomes President.

That was my point. How was I owned?

The "dumbass" brought up McCain was leading in the polls; which you claimed were meaningless.

THEN, you claimed Obama was leading in the Electoral College.

Have the electors been chosen already, or are they chosen ON ELECTION NIGHT?

That's right they are chose on election night after the votes are counted for the various states.

The ONLY way you can claim that Obama is leading in the electoral college is to be relying on..................POLLS!

See?

No jackass, I never claimed Obama was leading in the electoral college.

In responding to someone who was making hay about McCain leading in the polls; which you disputed as being meaningless you said:


You do know there's something called the electoral college that decides who becomes President, don't you?


So either you lost that debate with a meaningless post, or you were claiming that you felt Obama would win in an electoral college showdown - which you MUST be basing your reasoning on polls.

[Buddy Holly]

MY POINT, IF YOU'RE TOO DENSE TO COMPREHEND ANYTHING, IS THAT THE POLLS EVERYONE'S GETTING THEMSELVES WET OVER, EITHER OBAMA LEADING OR MCCAIN LEADING, ARE MEANINGLESS BECAUSE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE DECIDES WHO BECOMES THE PREZ.

get it?

Do you that the electoral college is voting on?

Just asking.

Popular vote tells you who the president will be 95% of the times. nevertheless, I've seen a good swing in McCains favor in the electoral college. As been said here before, electoral college isn't as up to date as the popular.

But I'm not getting happy because we have a long ways to go.

Once the debates end, the Repubs will be... DOA.

No "lock box" or "gay people" gonna breaka their (DEMS) stride.

I hope they actually bring this back up soon. I'd love to hear Obama repeat the phrase over and over.

Good analysis of this whole overblown debacle.

Basically, the article calls McSame's campaign out for "pants-on-fire" lying - the whole thing amounts to Republican distortion and lies. Which is, for them, same old, same old.
