LIPSTICK ON A PIG... LIPSTICK ON MY COLLAR...

Barack Obama did something he should not have done: stoop to the low levels of the Republicans.

He sure did when he said, "...You can put Lipstick on a pig -- it is still a pig!"

The jibe is squarely directed at Republican Sarah Palin, the woman from probably the most corrupt state in the U.S. and the-now-an-interesting-choice-of-candidate-for-vice-president but-soon-to-be-a-costly-mistake-for-McCain gal.

Obama should have left her to her own downfall -- she is a failed mother (how she is going to govern the most powerful nation in the world when she can't even be a good parent, is anyone's guess), a creationist who is going to screw things up is a big way in this modern and increasingly free-thinking world (my bet is that she will be so out of whack with the rest of the world, that Europe is going to laugh all the way to the top position as the dominant world-influence peddler -- and let's face it, Europe is all about what people around teh world want: modernizing society; equality of the people and empowerment of the masses; and the U.S. is soon going to be non-invincible should Palin take a mistep)

Anyway, we managed to sit down with Miss Piggy, of The Muppets fame, and she had a thing or two to say about the Presidential election in the United States.

FD: Yo pig, what's up!?

Miss Piggy: Snort! Snort! Hey you lambchop! How ya doin?

FD: Doin good. WHat do you thin of Obama's crack about pigs and lipstick?

Miss Piggy: It was an utter insult! I am no Republican, in case you didn't know. I am a Democrat pig, like all them other pigs!

FD: Yikes! That didn't sound quite right! Anyway, do you actually wear lipstick?

Miss Piggy: I sure do. My favorite shade is pork-chop red!

FD: Pork-chop? Hmmm, I feel hungry suddenly. C'here my little bacon!

Miss Piggy: Err, ciao kids!

FD: Wow... that pig sure can fly!

And Miss Piggy ran like hell and disappeared into the horizon.
