Two things

[conuly]

First, this is why I'm voting the way I am. (I'm not exactly subtle, so I bet you all know whom I support, but anyway!)

Second, best way to get in touch with me is through my journal or by emailing me directly. I'm not sharing state secrets when I say my email name is the same as this one, but over at yahoo :) LJ messaging means I have to click extra clickies. (Or if I don't, I sure don't know that, so same difference.) I'm not annoyed or upset by this, but it speeds things up by a few seconds if you take the direct route :)

Third, it's interesting that the media is making a big brouhaha over that "lipstick" comment (and I have no idea if it was intended as a snide jab at anybody or not, neither do I care) but nobody is mentioning the fact that he basically pulled a "doesn't she look tired" line. And I scoffed when I saw that posted around, too! Huh.

There was a "doesn't she look tired"? I think I missed that. the lipstick line seems stupid because he wasn't talking about Palin.

I also find it weird that if he were talking about both McCain and Palin at the time, then by implication he'd have called Palin a pig and McCain a stinky old fish... but nobody seems to think it is a problem if he refers to McCain as an old fish.

Also, Palin called herself a pitbull. I find it mildly entertaining that a pig is actually more intelligent than a dog. Is this a snide way of saying she's smarter than she lets on - ergo, she must be an elitist because according to the current thinking it seems if you show any signs of intelligence you are automatically an elitist.

Yes, there was. He made a comment that he has lots of respect for anybody raising five children because "just two kids can wear us out". The implication - and I thought it was clear as day - was that five kids would *really* wear you out.
