You could be right Renda. I personally took the comment at it's face value that the McCain "change" pig dressed up with lipstick was still the McCain pig that wasn't about change.

After her performance at the convention last week, I'm not sure why anyone would doubt her pit bull tendencies. She's a tough cookie and made her attacks very well last week. After watching that, I have no doubt about her pit bull capabliities.

Please provide proof that Obama said anything about her pentecostal background or speaking in tongues!

If McCain is seriously asking Obama to apologize to Palin for the comment, it would only be right for McCain to apologize to Hillary Clinton for calling her failed health care plan "just a pig with lipstick" in May 2008. The "Maverick" would definitely want to be consistent.

Most of us understand the point of the "pig with lipstick" metaphors and don't get all worked up about them.

Dear Everybody,

That was FUNNY. It was a jab at her lipstick comment during her speech and a OLD saying reflecting his message of change and the fact that McCain has "stolen" his change platform.

I hate when trivial things like this get blown out of proportion.

I bet you that McCain's people go to great effort to avoid words like "Black" "Dark" or anything else that could be distorted to represent a racist jab.

It's so childish.

McCain's comment was not on the heels of what Palin said about Hockey Mom's and Pit Bulls.

Anyone with half a brain would have not allowed that to go through in his speech unless they knew they could buffer it later, which is what they tried to do. I don't think, for the most part, it worked.

McCain referred to Hillary in the same manner, and said the exact same quote that Obama did, but was more obtuse in making sure everyone knew who he was referring to.
