Nobody is allowed to talk about lipstick and various animals you would put it on, unless you are Sarah Palin. For example, when Barack Obama was talking about the Republican health care plan and called it “putting lipstick on a pig,” this was obviously a Sexist and demeaning SMEAR against the vice presidential candidate, who already made it clear that she was a bloodthirsty and vicious dog, not a cuddly, sensitive, intelligent little pig. Barack Obama needs to confine his language to simple one-syllable words and not use elitist compound nouns anyhow. [Political Punch]

This is the most disgusting ad yet from McCain:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZd_Y_D-RaA
The fact that McCain is allowing his campaign to go down this path is just another indication that he is not his own man and it is about the campaign not the country
I wish Sarah and Barry would just fuck and get it over with.
Some pig.
America is a dumb place.
A US Representative calling a black person “Uppity”: nothing.
A US Senator using the word “lipstick” in a sentence: SEXISM!
Once again, these morons deserve 7 1/2 years of Palin.
Could WALNUTS! and the GOP please just SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP?
I’m sick of these calculating assholes screaming “sexism!” every 30 seconds.
I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
Winston Churchill
It’s time for Obama and his people to Get Down And Dirty.
“You can put a *unt in Chanel, but it’s still Cindy McCain”
“You can put a John McCain in big boy pants, but he’ll still crap them”
Why so serious Repubs?
What analogy should have Obama said?
“Polishing a Turd”? Nope, reminds folks that McCain shits himself.
“Can’t tell shit from Shineola”? Again, that whole uncomfortable McCain/Depends.
“Uppity”? Oh right, that’s whitey’s word.
All barnyard epithets are equal, some are more equal than others.
Sorry, but lipstick on a pig is no maccaca, no matter how hard you try.
If we can’t talk about lipstick can we talk about rotten fish?
Oh God, Jane Swift is the head of the so-called ‘Palin Truth Squad?’. We had a saying in Massachusetts. ‘You can put lipstick on Jane Swift, but she’s still going to be Jane Swift.’
Why are John McCain and the Republican Party helping pedophiles & child molesters ?
Barack Obama supported a bill to help our vulnerable children recognize sex predators & seek help when needed.
John McCain and the Republicans are attacking Obama for trying to help keep our children safe from sex predators.
Why are John McCain trying to help pedophiles & sex predators?
America can’t support people like that.
I look forward to Palins response: “I went looking for his achievements, but it was like looking for a nigger in a woodpile”
She also doesn’t mind comparison to a giant, ferocious, predatory fish with huge fangs. Though, in her defense, she probably wouldn’t know a barracuda if it bit off her girl parts. Sarah wants to ban the Discovery Channel, I’m sure.
Lipstick Lesbian’s for Palin.
This has been their plan all along in picking a woman for VP. ANY criticism of Palin will be labeled as sexism. Yet, a US Rep calls somoene ‘uppity’ and anyone calls it out, its ‘playing the race card’.
madness abounds!
[re=91079]EnBuenOra[/re]: Pleeeeze get mean, Hopey. Nasty, horribly, vindictivly downright MEEEAAAN! Pay them back for Swiftboat, Iraq-gate and the Clinton impeachment all at once. PLLLEEEEZZZZZZE! Oh, and the Florida recount too.
“McCain’s health care plan is like putting lipstick on an opportunistic whore.”
Democrat illegitimate baby – “Failed liberal policies.”
Republican illegitimate baby – “It’s a sign! Hallelujah!”
“You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called ‘change,’” Obama continued, “it’s still gonna stink after eight years.”
This is what happens when Gov. Palin has been campaigning so hard that she forgets her feminine hygiene for a day.
…I wish someone would just punch WALNUTS! in his shriveled up giblets!!!
“You can put tacky designer eyewear on it, but it’s still an unholy pig-barracuda-pitbull hybrid that believes in the Rapture… “
Right on! Furthermore, why are the Democrats attacking Sarah Palin for not speaking to the press? Not speaking unless an older man in authority allows you to is so sexist, and it’s horrible that the Dems and their toadies in the MSM are characterizing it like some sort of prairie marriage. Also, they can’t critice Palin for not knowing anything — as well all know, the ignorant, uninformed female is another gross gender stereotype that would be horribly sexist to point out. Also that she lies about stuff. That just hearkens back to the horrible lie that Eve told Adam 6,000 years ago and tries to smear women with that same broad brush that they’re all liars.
So to sum up: You can’t criticize Palin for not speaking to the press, for not knowing anything, or for lying when she does finally speak to the press. That’s all sexist. But hey, Republicans — she’s sexy! I’d vote for that! Heh heh heh.
How about “You can put an unqualified hockey mom in the VP seat, but that doesn’t make her less of an airhead Jesusfreak”
So lipstick is to female as community organizer/elitist is to black, then? I love election vocabulary!
[re=91057]Godless Liberal *[/re]: You can sense all the sexual tension too? God, I thought I was going crazy. Nobody else seems to see it. The gift must be strong with you.
[re=91071]NoWireHangers *[/re]: Big sale on Depends, WALNUTS! Never forget the huge Depends disaster when the Bullshit Express turned over. Seniors crept forward at super slow speeds to snag some of the loot.
[re=91092]kudzu *[/re]: Only if Larry Flynt can’t get her to show it off.
[re=91092]kudzu[/re]: Right on!
[re=91091]shoeho[/re]:and the theft of Ohio in 2004, don’t forget.
[re=91092]kudzu[/re]: nope!
Obama should’ve said “You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girl.”
That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.
isn’t smelly fish a reference to palin’s vagina?
You can put a woman on the ticket, but she’s still a psychotic fucking idiot like the rest of her Party?
Funny, I don’t much recalls much Republican apologizing for their peeps calling Barack uppity.
Mother.Fuck.You.Republican.Party.
[re=91099]SayItWithWookies[/re]: It’s infuriating, the transparent manipulation, I need to decide if I’m having red or white wine with my vodka sandwich today…
[re=91096]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: OMG! All of these mean and horrible things you are saying are upsetting Shaun (oops spelling) Hannity
[re=91103]tunamelt[/re]: We fail to acknowledge the lipstick elitists.
[re=91058]natteringnaybob[/re]: Radiant!
[re=91092]kudzu[/re]: [re=91093]Scott-san[/re]: [re=91102]grendel[/re]: You all forgot “lying.”
I for one would like to correct Barry… The saying is “Like putting perfume on a Pig.”
[re=91103]tunamelt[/re]: “Read my lipstick: no more community organizers!” Rudey Giuliani
(sorry but I missed this momento at the RNC):

And to think it’s only September. McCain’s already gone with TRAITOR and EVIL NIGRA PEDO LOVER; what’s left?
I’m starting to wonder if McCain is hoping Obama gets shot. That’s some serious incitement right there.
BTW Hopey, DAISY MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU KNOW IT?
I just saw John McPig and Sarah Piglin described on ABC News blog as KERMIT & MISS PIGGY.
TOO FUNNY!!!
KERMIT & MISS PIGGY!!!
LOLOL
Yeah… what does Obama have against pigs? How dare he disparage such intelligent animals by comparing them to Palin.
Now if you put lipstick on a trollopy c*nt… then you have a future first lady.
I had a pet pig (really), and you, Sarah Palin, are no pig.
Republicans don’t apologize. Neither should Barry, regardless of how much fuss is made about this. Show some balls.
The first person to put a motage of Palin and McCain clips on YouTube to “War Pigs” will have my everlasting respect.
[re=91108]tonashideska[/re]: A great Porno about to happen…
I swear to GOD that if McCain pulls out that “sexism” argument one more time, I’m going to want that clip of Caribou Barbie saying that Hillz was a “whiner” and that you need to be able to take a shot if you’re going to mix it up with the big boys played on permaloop so that people remember that she welcomed a tough fight. She’s the freakin’ self-described pit bull! Not a little wilting flower! She doesn’t have the trademark on lipstick and that statement (plus the fish one) perfectly described what Grampy is trying to do.
Suck it, Palin. Stop crying sexism and try doing “Meet the Press,” for a complete change.
What is the position on lip gloss? Chapstick? I imagine it gets cold and dry in Alaska.
Don’t mess with my PILF, Hopie!
BARNYARD FIRST!!!
KERMIT / MISS PIGGY 08!!!
If some enterprising spider could simple weave “SOME PIG” into her web, it would all give us something more positive to focus on.
[re=91122]4tehlulz[/re]: Oh, that LBJ. I’d love to see his reanimated corpse beat the shit out of WALNUTS!
I think it’s safe to say on this one, McCain started it. Obama’s just finishing it.
And Palin, if the barnyard animal fits…
After running a campaign based on feigning racial outrage at innocuous comments (fairy tale, MLK, community organizer, elitist), Obama has finally been hoisted on his own petard.
[re=91129]Jon in Austin[/re]: He won’t. He’s done playing that game. Let the flunkies do all the back and forth in the media.
Well, of course “pig” referred to Palin; bitch is well versed in pork especially when it’s barreled.
[re=91129]Jon in Austin[/re]: Apologize for what? “I’m sorry you’re a bunch of unethical, lowlife, lying whores?” I’d be okay with that, but nothing else.
FINALLY!!!!!
Hillbilly Heroin enters the picture!
So I guess when Dick Cheney used the expression in reference to John Kerry in 2004, he was calling Kerry a cross-dresser AND a pig? The McCain campaign being staffed with illiterate idiots doesn’t make Hopey sexist…
Is…this still going on? I mean, listen to the thing: http://www.entertonement.com/clips/23038/Barack-Obama/2008-09-08-Obama-in-Lebanon-Virginia/Lipstick-on-a-Pig/You-Can-Put-Lipstick-on-a-Pig-It%27s-Still-a-Pig
Remember in the first season of “The Apprentice” when there was that flap over whether “the pot calling the kettle black” constituted a racial slur? Well, John McCain is now Omarosa.
The entrance of Sarah Palin to this race made it official: We’re all trapped in a reality TV show from which there is no escape.
Why Kermit??
McCan is more like Oscar the Grouch; he loves (white) trash and he lives in uncuntable trash cans.

You don’t get to own the word if its a shitty punchline to a joke you fucked up.
What’s the difference between A and B (LOL, cuz A & B are really similar)?
SOMETHING MINUTE THAT DESCRIBES A!
BULLSHIT! You know what’s coming! Minivans. unfunny. XX chromosomes. Unfunny. Absentee husbands and closet alcoholism. Still unfunny.
The correct punchline is “Something reflecting the normalcy of B thus juxtaposing A’s status”. Something like “pitbulls don’t have 18 hour days.” Still not worthy of a real laugh but at least delivered like a professional.
And now your campaign whines whenever someone so much as thinks about the word.
The PIG errrr, Pitbull is on the teevee right now talkin’ ’bout all her reformin’ and such.
Haaaaa! When she mentioned the bridge she got grumbles.
[re=91173]LittlePhatGuise[/re]: Ha! And I can’t believe she’s done nothing but that same, stupid stump speech since she’s been nominated. Princess still using the teleprompter? She should have that shit memorized by now.
[re=91164]RadioFreeBabylon[/re]: And what was that about the world ending in 2012? I’m listening, I’m listening…
If it wasnt for the Talking Heads, I’d be gouging my eyes out right now.
[re=91154]Gopherit v2.0[/re]:
Sarah Palin as VP–Millions more in Pork for the Frozen North
John McCain as President–No healthcare, billions more for needless wars
A bunch of well read, elitist, effete liberal eastcoast snobs** reading the Nation Enquirer?
FUCKING PRICELESS!!! (Best investigative journalism on the planet. “K” MIB)
** I’m damned proud to be one!
[re=91150]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: Some spineless “TV reporter” (Charlie Gibson) will pester Obama about it in an interview until he has to give some mealy-mouthed apology to get past it. Guess what the headline will be?
BTW Palin in Virginia just repeated the Iraq-Al Qaeda lie. Idiot.
You can put lipstick on a pitbull but, unfortunately, you can’t get it’s tubes tied.
[re=91181]shoeho[/re]: The National Enquirer and Comedy Central are the only real journalists left.
Gods, I wish the looking glass wasn’t one way.
I love that the WALNUTS! campaign just assumed that the “you can wrap a stinky old fish in a piece of paper called ‘change’, but it’s still a stinky old fish” line was referring to McCain.
They had some lady governor out there yesterday saying that Barry called McCain a fish and it showed that he hates America and the troops and the flag and flag pins and old people and women. And the press eat it up with a spoon.
Stinky Old Fish/Pig 2008!
It seems like McCain was the one who called Palin a pig. It’s like Barry called out “hey idiot” and McCain looked.
If Obama knows that 102% of the bitters population want to fuck Sarah Palin, why would he imply that they engage in bestiality with tarted up swine? Tha-at-ts no-t ch-ange we ca-n believe innnn.
[re=91189]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: The only question left is, at what point did the election jump the shark? Or maybe that happened in Florida in 2000? We reach dizzying new lows almost daily in the U.S.A. so it’s hard to keep track.
OMG. Eye of the freakin’ TIGER?! They’re playing that to close McCain’s little speech in VA. Tigers should be ashamed. Or maul him. Take care of your own problems, tigers!
And Walnutz! is closing his speech with with “Eye of the Tiger.” I think Sylvester Stallone should object to being compared to a washed-up has-been like McCain.
Apparently “lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig” was a line John McCain used last October.
[re=91198]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Eye of the Tiger? I feel like WALNUTS! would have stroke if he even watched that one scene from Rocky with the montage: too exerting.
That lipstick/pig thing is such a stretch. I can’t believe the Repugs aren’t making more of Obama’s next analogy he used about stinking fish. That’s so obviously a reference to Palin’s smelly, worn-out vagina!!! For shame, Obama!!
[re=91154]Gopherit v2.0[/re]:
http://www.nationalenquirer.com/_palin_family_shockers_what_sarahs_really_hiding/celebrity/65407
“Bristol was a huge stoner and drinker. I’ve seen her smoke pot and get drunk and make out with so many guys. All the guys would brag that the just made out with Bristol.”
*********
“I’ve partied with him (Track) for years,” a source disclosed. “I’ve seen him snort cocaine, snort and smoke OxyContin, drink booze and smoke weed.”
The source also divulged the girls would do anything for Track and he’d use his local celebrity to manipulate other guys “to get them to steal things he wanted.”
“He finally did what a lot of troubled kids here do,” the source divulged. “You join the military.”
***********
Fucking sexism.
[re=91215]S.Luggo[/re]: Yeah, and they didn’t even mention how he fucked his sister. Come on, Enquirer! I expect full disclosure!!
Can I also mention my disappointment that you’ve compared Palin to Wilbur? Wilbur was sweet, caring, vulnerable, and true-hearted. Palin’s more like one of those pigs in “Hannibal”.
This is the kind of bait I’ve been talking about. If anyone from the Obama campaign dignifies it with a response, the GOP wins. If GOP whore reporters — whether ABC or News Corp. — pester Obama, he should steadfastly deflect and instruct all his staff to do the same. If he ignores it, there is no footage and it quickly goes away. If Palin picks it up, it makes her look thin-skinned and out of her depth, which she most certainly is. It’s the old Swift boat trick, only even less substantial, if that is possible. Kerry’s handling of Swift Boat could not have been worse; he took it seriously and thus made it into an issue.
[re=91075]freakishlystrong[/re]: If we can’t talk about lipstick can we talk about rotten fish?
This question is immensely insulting to Norwegian Americans who subsist entirely on a diet of Lutefisk.
Garrison Keillor demands that freakishlystrong issue an immediate apology and be more deferential in the future.
That’ll do, pig.
[re=91224]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: Which sister?
[re=91190]coastalelite[/re]: Thank you. You gave me my first, and possibly only, laugh of the day.
Hopey fights back against the lipstick issue! Woo hoo!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/26640762#26640762
[re=91239]S.Luggo[/re]: You mean he has to pick one?
Oh wow, Wonkette is moderated? Who knew! But apparently I crossed a sexist line with my sexist comments. I apologize for the misunderstanding; I was referring to John McCain’s health care plan.
He also talked about a fish wrapped in newspaper. Is that McCain?
From a New York Times article: “Brian Rogers, a spokesman for the McCain-Palin campaign, chastised Mr. Obama … Employing an animal reference of his own, he added: ‘Apparently, the buck never stops with Barack Obama.’”
So let me get this straight. Did the McCain side just call Obama a “buck”?
Why do Reupublicans hate pigs?
Sure, but can Hopey shoot that lipsticked-pig from an airplane with a high-powered rifle thingy, hog-tie it, gut it and mount it in his office along with the dead bear and crab shell? I think not.
[re=91245]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Obama’s response to the lipstick lie was intelligent and charming, as always, and most important of all, he laughed at it. That was huge. But I hope he and staff let it go immediately and move on.
Amazing how the GOP just discovered sexism.
[re=91261]lawrenceofthedesert[/re]: Agreed. Move on to the issues which really matter. But that was one helluva great response!
This does wonders for my outlook on things. Feeling much less in need of midday alcohol.
Obama addressed the lipstick thing this morning on the stump at a high school in Va. When he brought it up and said the McCain campaign thought he was referring to Palin, they all laughed. Even teenagers get it was not sexist and McCrusty is a complete idiot. Obama then went on to give a marvelous speech. Broadcast live this a.m. on MSNBC.
Then they switched live to the rally and Palin was mouthing the exact same speech, full of the now exposed lies. The reaction was a tepid handclap. She looked a bit panicky. Meantime Walnuts was showing his yellow teeth and a comatose looking Cindy was nodding in the background like a mare with headshakes.
She opened the door with “im a pitbull in lipstick” (not to mention the WWF-ish Barracuda crap). That’s ok, but it’s NOT ok for Obama to say “no, you’re more like a pig in lipstick.” WTF????!!!! She’s opened the door to the animal analogies, OK you fucking fucks!? So whether or fucking not O was referring to her when he made the remark, it’s all fair game.
Get off your asses and donate.

At what point does the press call them out on all this whining? How about humanoid? Can the Hopey’s make comments about vaguely humanoid life forms?
I really need them to shut the fuck up with the fake outrage already….(sigh)
[re=91267]wallythepug[/re]: Silly…..the GOP INVENTED sexism.
[re=91273]hatlesshead[/re]: “like a mare with the headshakes”
too fucking awesome. too.fucking.awesome.
[re=91056]Nellie[/re]: Oh hell yes. This is what’s is all about.
At least he didn’t say anything about polishing turds.
[re=91146]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: Was that dry humour and I missed the punchline, or are you a complete fucking idiot? If the former, I apologize for the tone of my comment. If the latter, I apologize to all other complete fucking idiots for demeaning them by including you as one of them.
[re=91154]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: OMG this will make Track even more lovable and sympathetically attractive! Just like that gorgeous roly-poly Rush Limbaugh! Swoons!
[re=91391]natoslug[/re]: Rest assured, Canmon is the latter.
[re=91113]The Neoskeptic[/re]: I love how I can instantly tell that someone is a wonkette reader by their blog.
[re=91287]fireatwill[/re]: If you ask me, McCain and Obama need to get more on board with the WWE-style antics, not less. McCain would have gotten his joint town halls if he issued his challenge by interrupting an Obama rally in person (introduced by his theme song, “Raining McCain”, naturally). They probably would have even been held in a steel cage.
[re=91391]natoslug[/re]: [re=91455]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: I think Canmon is having some problems with her cats. Practice compassion.
[re=91455]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: No Canmon is a paid McCain troll.
[re=91289]Not_So_Much[/re]: The republican party has patented insincere, fake outrage. It’s their way of keeping (media) attention off the real issues that Americans are dealing with, and might consider when they vote, if not for the fake bullshit on the airwaves.
