GOP "angst" over Obama's "lipstick" remark reveals much about the psyche of the hard-right
"No one in this world has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby." Henry Louis Mencken
So. Barack Obama's use of the "lipstick on a pig" line has caused hurt feelings among wide swaths of suddenly pro-feminism Republican right wing conservatives, chief amongst them, Sen. John McCain, a guy who publicly called his wife a "cunt" after she teased the 72 year-old about his thinning hair.
To these folks, who seem to fancy themselves as Obama's own personal domestic abuse victims, I say, get over it.
After all, possibly inferring that your opponent's running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, is a Revlon-endowed swine, pales in comparison to the opponent saluting his own spouse with the wife-beater's equivalent of the N-word.
Then there is the GOP's own glowing post-convention concurrence with Palin's characterization of herself as a "pit-bull in lipstick." Now the last I heard, a pit bull is a dog. Might dare I infer that the term used to describe a female dog -- a term popular among rappers -- has apparently caught on with the GOP?
Holla!
