LIPSTICK ON A PIG

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY CLIVE CROOK IN THE FINANCIAL TIMES

It just does not get sillier than this series of events.

"Lipstick on a pig" is an issue in the leadership race for the world's global power, a power currently engaged in two and a half wars and with elements of its economy failing?

I guess, yes, when you consider nonsense like whether or not you wear a flag pin having been an issue.

Even on its own absurdly trivial terms, this makes no sense.

Palin connected pit bulls and lipstick, but pigs and lipstick are somehow off-limits?

Did anyone see Palin's first interview, or read it?

No wonder they want to make an issue of pigs and lipstick. The woman is frighteningly uninformed.

Many of her supporters may not be aware that Sarah took six years at five different colleges in several states to a get a bachelor's degree.

Newsmen have discovered her academic records have been blocked from examination in all cases.

Now there is an issue, after eight years of government by a certified moron.

It will surely take America another century to become a civilized, sensible place.
