The McCain campaign has been whining all week about Barack's use of the old saying "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Well, I say we put the lip rouge to good use.
Today's NYT story on Sarah Palin (blogged elsewhere on dkos and no doubt already being trashed by conservatives as "sexism" and "liberal bias") has revealed just how scary a prospect it is to have this woman one aged heartbeat away from the Presidency. (BTW, Mr. McCain, if you win, I suggest you hire a bevy of food-tasters. I don't think Palin will wait four years for her shot at the White House. And for God's sake don't go on any "hunting trips" with her!).
As one of the diaries in the rec list asks, who does this paragraph remind you of?
Interviews show that Ms. Palin runs an administration that puts a premium on loyalty and secrecy. The governor and her top officials sometimes use personal e-mail accounts for state business; dozens of e-mail messages obtained by The New York Times show that her staff members studied whether that could allow them to circumvent subpoenas seeking public records.
Which leads me to a line I think every Democrat from Biden on down to Obama canvassers should be using.
Q: What's the difference between George W. Bush and Sarah Palin?
A: Lipstick.
Honestly, can anyone think of any others?
