You’re probably waking up this morning and hearing all about Barack Obama’s supposedly sexist remarks about Sarah Palin. If you are unaware, Obama said the following:
You can put lipstick on a pig… It’s still a pig.
Sure, it may sound sexist if you’re a complete dumbass, but to the rest of us this is nothing more than a tried-and-true analogy that has been around the political world of politics. But, for the first time that I can remember, the McCain campaign did not have a response to Obama’s speech pre-packaged and filed under “Sexism”.
Instead, they had an entire God damn conference call about it.
Pretty funny, innit? How every time Obama or Biden dare do so much as imply her very existence, the Republican Party leaps on the sexism soapbox and gives us a sermon about how the Obama camp must hate women.
So, going off that logic, I have to ask: Why does John McCain hate women?
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.
…uh oh. Well, thankfully Hillary didn’t win the nomination. We wouldn’t want the McCain camp calling her whiny, now would we?
