Funny, I heard the same charge about the phrase “African American.”

I don’t know about the McCain campaign making such a big deal about the “lipstick” comment. They already have an ad about, and I’m afraid of them looking thin-skinned. Palin should have just come out and said, “Yeah, Obama is a douche. What are you gonna do about it?” Or she could have come back with a joke of her own:
“What do you get when you put lipstick on an Obama? A damn ugly transvestite. I mean, have you seen that guy’s ears? He looks like a Ferengi.”
Now, many people think the “lipstick on a pig” was not meant as an insult directed toward Palin as it is a common colloquialism and Obama is kinda stupid. If you watch the video, Obama is lacking a teleprompter and sounds like his usual befuddled self. When he says the line and the audience, interpreting it as a an attack on Palin, start cheering wildly, Obama just has the childlike grin of non-comprehension on his face. He’s just a little guy in a big campaign, so let’s not be too harsh on him.

I forget; did Obama name a running mate yet?

The world really seems to like Obama, so can’t we just give him to them as a gesture of goodwill?
“You guys really like Obama, so here he is. He’s all yours. That’s just how nice America is: Were giving up our only Obama so you can enjoy him.”
If they end up not liking Obama after they get him, they were the ones who asked for him so it isn’t our fault. And we’re not taking him back. If they checked the tag on Obama, they would have seen that it says, “No refunds or exchanges.” Sorry, but that’s just American policy.
