There’s apparently a new rule: hackneyed cliches are officially off limits in the Presidential campaign… which I guess means that we can look forward to two months of candidates silently looking at each other and shrugging their shoulders:
“You can put lipstick on a pig,” [Obama] 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….” McCain’s campaign called the comments “offensive and disgraceful” and said Obama owes Palin an apology.
Damn right it’s offensive and disgraceful. If Obama’s gonna go after Palin, fucking go after her, you big fucking pussy. Don’t be coy about it. Go with something like:
“You know the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom? A pit bull’s smart enough to not shit where it eats, and a hockey mom’s always on the lookout for a good high sticking.” BOOM!
Thank you very much, I’ll be here all week. I live here.
