We can consider whether the "lipstick on a pig..." comment Obama made was a backhanded or coded insult meant for Governor Palin, which frankly is kind of hard to rationalize. Obama obviously stepped in it with that stupid metaphor but I want to point something out. Listen carefully to the tape as he makes the analogy, the crowd was quiet until he uttered the words "lipstick on a pig..." at that moment, when he said "Pig"... the crowd began to cheer and scream thier approval. I really, truly honestly think "THEY" decided to make the connection in thier minds to Sarah Palin. It's rather obvious, even if Obama didn't mean it to be taken that way... you know that's why the Obama loyalists loved it. They loved it because they despise Sarah Palin because of her effectiveness and they want to see her muddied up, they want to see her cut down and will take any red meat they can get even if it's only thier own twist on a stupid comment.
