*UPDATED*

Expect to hear this a lot: Obama calls Palin a pig..? In a modern, respectful kind of way... Impress your friends, have the quote before you get the email:

Obama said "You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig." "You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink." "We've had enough of the same old thing."

Didn't she compare herself to a pit bull?? One could think Palin's the pig and McCain's the old fish .. one could. And is. A case of not what you hear, but what you hear within it.. The ATLANTIC already writing, "The McCain campaign has little respect for Obama, but they don't think he is stupid. And the only way one can conclude that Obama meant to refer to Gov. Sarah Palin as a pig is to have concluded that Obama is as dumb as a doornail." Tonight, the top story on Drudge is the pig comment, with a photo of Palin.. ABC news reporting more on the Palin/pig/lipstick/Hockeymom/moose killing machine/Gate scandal.. 8 weeks yet? .. really..?
