I don't get it. What is it supposed to mean. I know when Obama said "you can put lipstick on a pig..." it was said to be in reference to Sarah's joke. But what was the original joke? Somethin about pitbulls.
 
Meaning you can if you lipstick on a pig its still a lipstick in accordance to Sarah if you elect that dummy to the office of governor its still a dummy
 
In her opening speech at her nomination, the teleprompter crashed and she improvised, saying, "Do you know the only difference between a Hockey Mom and a Pit bull? (pause, slow look to the left and right, smiling) Lipstick!" The crowd went wild! They love it and her afterward.
 
You really don't get it do you? Obama used the "lip stick on a pig" line long before Sarah Palin was even considered as a VP candidate.

Two people made separate statements that contained the word lipstick. The comments were not related to or referenced to any other comment by any other person in the world.

Obama's referral is about dressing something up to make it look better than it really is. As is his habit he stole a quote from a long ago speech.

Lipstick on a pig is similar to comments such as a "silk purse out of a sow's ear." Ever heard that one? How about Public Assistance? It's still Welfare but we'll call it Public Assistance cause that sounds better. How about Police Action? Heard that one? We'll called the little scuffle in Korea in the early 1950's a Police Action because that sounds better than a war.

Sarah said "what do you call a pit bull with lipstick....a hockey mom." She was referring to how protective a mom can be of her little darling hockey player.

The two comments only have the word "lipstick" in common and have nothing else to do with one another.

Only people who have shut off their own brain and their own ability to think for themselves (i.e. TV News watchers) put the two separate comments together in any sort of Reference.
 
She said " whats the difference between a pitbull and a hockey mom...lipstick."
 
i believe it came from putting a dress on a pig, but it is still a pig
sara claimed she was a pitbull w/ lipstick
that was a subtle but overt zinger as they say, classic funny
 
"lipstick on a pig" is a term meaning trying to make pretty something that isn't (unless you find pigs adorable). Palin used it at the convention, "What is the difference between a pit bull and me--lipstick" (or something like that). Then someone made reference to it (Obama I think) and the right wingers thought he was dissing Palin. He wasn't -- he was calling some of the McCain policies like the lipstick on the pig.
