Yesterday, GOP smear tactics were hard at work, using Obama’s comments about McCain’s policies and twisting them to say that they insulted Gov. Sarah Palin because she wears lipstick and described herself as a pit bull with lipstick last week.

Huh?

Yeah, that how I felt. Apparently, that’s how Obama felt, too.

Just in case you’re wondering how often politicians use this term for dressing up bad ideas in pretty packages — you know, the generally understood meaning of the expression — here’s a video of McCain using the phrase:

He refers to Hillary’s health care plan as sounding like “eerily reminiscent of what they tried back in 1993.” That means this video was taken in the 2007-2008 election season.

Hypocrisy, much?

Oh, and look! Here’s another one from MAY 2ND, 2008:

Even Mike Huckabee doesn’t think Obama was mocking Palin:

See? Even he won’t stoop that low.

The L.A. Times blog has a short, pointed article on why this whole story is stupid and pointless.

The GOP managed to eat a good 36 hours of election coverage that could have been better spent talking about the issues. Surprise, surprise. But at least most people still think Faux News is full of crap.
