Default Pig calls Obama ---- Palin

The pig later apologized, but the damage was done. The was no indication that the pig was wearing lipstick.

See, what gets me about "Pig-gate" is not whether Obama was referring to Palin or not. That's not the real issue. What I'm sick and tired of is people using the phrase, "you can put lipstick on a pig...."

Does anyone who uses that phrase really appreciate how difficult it is to put lipstick on a pig?!?! It's talked about like it's a walk in the park; but I have to tell you, pigs are quick, wily, and not a little ornery. Trying to put lipstick on a pig is like trying to... well, I don't know what, but something pretty awful.

Maybe, before our politicians resort to awful cliche, they could stop and ask whether the substance of their comments even makes sense. Lipstick on a pig? I'll bet Obama's never even tried...

This is the type of pig I'm talking about. Look at the fear in his (her?) eyes. If Obama came up and tried to put lipstick on that thing, I guarantee he'd find himself face-down in the slop trough wondering how the pig got the best of him.

Besides, while I respect Obama's oratory and think he has the potential to be the sort of inspirational leader that a country needs from time to time, I absolutely don't believe that someone who wonders about the price of arugula at Whole Foods really has any understanding about how difficult it would be to get lipstick on that thing.

I'm just saying...

I have been known to try to put a dress on a pig. I have never (this is for you, bloosum) tried to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, however. That would be cruel.

Bah--50-something more days of this!

What if you also made pork chops, bacon, and ham from this absolutely magical animal?
