Lipstick on a Pig

Fox news has been replaying Obama's "Lipstick on a pig" comment all day. Much as I enjoy watching the media bash democrats for a change, and much as I like Sarah Palin, I'm prepared to give Obama a pass on this one. It's a well worn cliche, I use it myself upon occasion. Obama is pretty bright, and he likely knew the cliche would draw a chuckle from the crowd. It's a zinger, but Sarah has tossed a few good zinger's Obama's way ("kinda like a community organizer only you have real responsibilities") . So maybe Obama is entitled to a zinger or two himself.
