Ha Ha CBS: "A Lot Of Lipstick, And A Lot Of Pigs"

[madfloridian]

Apparently the Obama campaign sent this out. Just a few snips:

Lipstick and Pigs...through the years.

"Or as we say out in our home state of Wyoming, you can put all the lipstick you want on a pig, but it's still a pig." – Dick Cheney, 2004.

"It's all about withdrawal or not withdrawal, okay? I mean that's what it's all about. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." – John McCain, last year.

"You can put lipstick and earrings on a hog and call it Monique, but it's still a pig." – Texas Gov. Ann Richards.

"John Kerry tries to put a bunch of fancy, fancy talk...but there is nothing you can do to really -- to really obscure that record. You can try, though. And in Wyoming, we've got a saying for what it is when you keep trying to make something that's not so good look good, we call it putting lipstick on a pig." – Lynne Cheney, 2004.

"It gets down to whether you support what's being done in this new strategy or you don't. You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig in my view." – John McCain, last year.

The Obama campaign "also emailed to reporters quotes from more than 10 Republican officials who have used the phrase, among them House Minority Leader John Boehner and Former Republican Senator Rick Santorum."

1. Hitting back is crucial.

The talking heads will do NO WORK so you have to send it to them.

2. I bet Neil Horsley used to put lipstick on pigs

3. BRAVO!

Went on Google earlier to try to find something and got lazy.
You must have Nexis-Lexis?

4. The search term was "rick santorum".... a veritable multitude of riches.

I could spend all day writing about that guy and his extremism. I did a news search him, not a web search...

5. The Ann Richards quote is, of course, the best one.

Still one of my favorite Democrats ever.

6. So when are these cons going to apologize?

[madfloridian]

7. Never, of course.

They never apologize, they just keep on attacking mindlessly.

8. Should Charlie Gibson start the interview with "Sow, what's new?"

:rofl: :rofl:

9. Another KB needed

10. ABC last night

ABC led off with this subject, and I could have written the piece. There was one tiny, obligatory reference that the Dems use this ploy, too. Otherwise, it was all reality testing, including plenty of clips of what Obama actually said and his "enough!" from yesterday.

Snap!

11. why do I have the feeling that because of the (s)whining about

the phrase, and going hog wild to demand an apology

that now Palin has been forever wedded to the image of a pig just like bush is forever the smirking chimp?

all she needs to do during that nerfball interview with gibson, is to do a "snort" laugh.... :rofl:
