Comments on: Obama Says McCain-Palin Proposals Are Like Putting "Lipstick on a Pig"

McCain blatantly taking advantage of his female running mate is absolutely disgusting.

I don''t think i have ever witnessed a woman being so used as Palin is.

It''s awful. McCain is using Palin as a shield, crying sexism on her behalf in response to every word uttered by anyone who is not part of McCain''s campaign.

This could SERIOUSLY backfire.

Eventually, American''s will want a serious debate without the McCain trying to shut down any and all dialogue by crying sexism.

Obama''s comment was about McCain, not Palin, and McCain (possibly the most dishonest, dishonorable presidential candidate, ever) knows it.

Why do you find the use of the phrase bizarre? It means they''re putting fancy dressing on a bad policy.

So, what''s problem here?

From all the accounts I have read of what Obama said, he only mentioned McCain. Thus the headline ''Obama says McCain-Palin Proposals Are Like Putting "Lipstick on a Pig"'' is irresponsible journalism. Why is CBS fanning the flames?
