A-pox-of-lipstick now!

Only in America! While the entire planet was focused on the CERN laboratory near the French-Swiss border, just in case our little world had its own Big Bang and like Humpty could not be put together again, the USA was making a matzos pudding about pigs and lipstick. Turns out that on Tuesday Barrack Obama, while responding to claims of sexism, had used the term “like lipstick on a pig” (which is still a pig — as the saying goes).

The phrase is actually quite commonly used in US politics, even by McCain himself, but that didn’t stop the GOPs having a full go at Obama and calling into question his views on sexism. The fact is that he had declined Hillary Clinton or any other female running mate for the election. Sort of swift boats at ten paces.

What a crock of crap.

This is the Republicans making two and two equal five — you beat Hillary, then you don’t opt for a woman but went for Biden instead, throw in the hate factor on Sarah Palin, take away the number you started with and your answer is anti-feminist.

No?

Okay, pick another card, don’t tell me …

It is almost trite that McCain went for Alaskan governor Sarah Palin in order to make inroads into the disaffected among the Clinton voters. Palin in her own right has made a staggering impact and is shortly to conduct an in-depth interview on television. A far more difficult venture than reading out a speech prepared by the Republican’s finest to the GOPs of St Paul.

However, as I have said in the past, the only thing Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin have in common is that they are both women. With this in mind the Republicans are now building the sexism case against Obama while reinforcing Palin. So if you happen to be a borderline case in having supported Hillary for the nomination and were disappointed that she lost, then didn’t crack the nod for vee-pee, nor any other female Democrat for that matter, then the GOPs are telling you that not only did they hire one of those Hillary-gender thingys but that bad ol’ puddytat Obama is waffling on about pigs an’ lipstick cos he hates women.

Man those Republicans are sneaky!

They’ve headed into town looking to send Mrs McCain’s little boy John to the White House a-riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his hat and called it Mac … “You cannot be serious! That ball was in; ask your linesman! Ask her!”

Kids today hoh?
