Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan on Tuesday – introducing Joe Biden at a campaign event – ripped into Palin’s record and punctuated it with this snarky jab. “There’s no way you can dress up that record, even with a lot of lipstick,” he said. Obama himself used similar langauge later in the day about the McCain-Palin reform rhetoric, saying "You can put lipstick on a pig," he said. "It's still a pig."
Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. And not defensible. Sexism isn't OK when directed at Hillary Clinton; it's still not acceptable when directed at a Republican.
And it's not like Obama shouldn't already be sensitized to avoiding potentially sexist remarks. Dumb.

aren't they referencing her hockey mom/bull dog bit at the RNC? Seems like fair game to me, if not a little risky.
Whoops. That's going to come back and bite him. Dumb dumb dumb...
