If you ever plan to run for any political election, be sure to stick a pig on your lipstick.

and pick a dipstick as your running mate ;)
This is so stupid. It is an old expression that has been around forever. Lets just call a spade a spade, it was simply a poor choice of words.
In the PC world hasn't the word 'spade' been expunged?
Right! I'm tired of this implied racism.
Sometimes a black man is the best man for the cotton pickin' job!
At least one judge and a city commissioner in Texas think "black hole" is a racial slur.
Watch these two links. You won't believe the stupidity. Here is the meeting. (short)
County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.
Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections "has become a black hole" because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.
Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud "Excuse me!" He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a "white hole."
That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.
Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term. A black hole, according to Webster's, is perhaps "the invisible remains of a collapsed star, with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape."
Other county officials quickly interceded to break it up and get the meeting back on track. TV news cameras were rolling, after all.
}John Wiley Price needs a phone call from Neil deGrasse Tyson to explain to him how stupid he really is.
A spade? You didn't decide to use that term because Obama is black, did you?
Not if you need to buy a spade bit.
I plan on voting for the candidate who insults others the most. To hell with the politically correct crowd. It has become a cancer upon our sense of humor.
Ya got 'em, the jig is up.
Last time I checked, a spade wasn't a suite in card games and had nothing to do with being black.
That is just spooky!
It is so common an idiom, and this specific use of it was so obliquely related to the accusation, that I wouldn't even say it was a poor choice of words.

Actually, I though Palin's off the cuff "joke" was in very poor taste and was pretty demeaning to women. If a Democratic candidate had said the same thing it would have been regarded as such by the right wing media and talking heads. The crude repugs cheering and laughing at it just showed how low they have sunk.
plus Obama had used the same expression several times during the prior weeks/months of the campaign. before she compared a woman to iirc an animal.
yet if he brings up those times, it wiil just make the "story" run longer and some wont note or care that those times were earler.
If you are inclined to email me for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-)
Another problem with that office was that ONLY the person who received the ticket could pay the fine. They were double checking for warrants. DPD officers on duty to arrest them.

I apologize. I thought I posted this only to alt.politics, but I was responding to a peculiar cross poster and didn't catch it. Please don't respond in alt.home.repair.
If you don't like Lipstick on a pig as a tag line, how about:
Palin: she puts the bull in pit bull.
Personally, I think it sums up the situation rather nicely, but that's me...

I put lipstick on my dog today, and he looked rather attractive, In fact I had to jump his bones he looked so sexy. I later found out they were Milk Bones. Now I know my dog is gay, and I have to blame Obama for it.

From carefully reading this sentence, it's apparent the author is actually intending to drill a hole in Obama with a spade bit. This is an assassination plot. The FBI has been notified. They are looking for a Republican carrying a concealed cordless drill with a spade bit.
