Here’s the video with the remark everyone is talking about. You know, the “Lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig” comment.
Did Suit say that as an intentional insult toward Sarah Palin or was he just going off-script with a well-worn homespun saying (note the rolled-up sleeves – always a good leading indicator for impending folksy homilies and “my Grandmother always taught me..” moments)?
Giving Suit the benefit of the doubt, for a moment, check out the reaction from the crowd. They would appear to be in on the joke whether Suit knew he was serving one up or not. Also, knowing full well what a hit the soccer mom/pitbull/lipstick line was for Palin, Suit would have to be among a distinguished handful of dumbest politicians alive to make that remark purposefully intended as a swipe at Palin. And, obviously, we know that’s not the case.
We’ll even defend Suit, as best we can, regarding his “My Muslim faith” comment. In the context of responding to his detractors what we believe he meant to say was “My alleged Muslim faith”.
But good lord… this is now the 3rd time thus far this week (including his incoherent advocacy of the Fannie and Freddie bailout) where he has been separated from his teleprompter and where people are left scratching their head and saying “What was this guy thinking?”
Its been a bad week for the Democrats dating back to Palin’s acceptance speech and though we don’t want to say the wheels are coming off its readily apparent that the Democrats have been stricken with possibly a terminal case of Palin Derangement Syndrome.
Check out Steve Cohen (D-TN) going green.
Fertilizing the floor of that whore house also known as the House of Representatives with repeated Kos comments is indeed our idea of “recycling”.
We’re one day shy of 8 weeks left in this election cycle and to say they’re handling the Sarah Palin Experience poorly would be a gross understatement. Unless they suddenly embrace a little of The One’s “new politics”, the outlook does not appear too rosy, right now.

Dean,
I look at the InTrade Market Odds as much as the polls, because people are betting real money on the outcome. Despite all the hoopla, Obama was still the oddsmakers favorite until today, when the odds became 49-49. See RealClearPolitics.com. Also, McCain is slowly moving the electoral map in his favor, taking North Carolina out of play and putting Michigan and Pennsylvania into play.
I should add that the electoral vote will again be very close. The fundamentals have not really changed since 2000.
A dozen more misquotes or so and the guy's liable to be added to the BOD for the Dubya School of Incoherency.
- Mongo Not Paying Attention At All to This Time of Great American Orators and Wondering When is The Earliest You Can Fill in An Absentee Ballot To Get This Misery Over With??
That comparison would work except for the fact that one (?) of Suit's great strengths was supposed to be his oratorical skills. This was never claimed of Dubya.
