Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son

So now we have faux outrage over these remarks. Honestly I am getting so tired of this election, 55 days seems like such a long way to go and coverage continue to get dumber and dumber. Look, I don't think that Obama was insulting Sarah Palin with his "lipstick on a pig" remark but it was a misstep that should have been avoided. All this does is play into the meme that exists to a certain section of the voting public who think Obama is a bit of a sexist. This gaffe also created the opening for the McCain camp to use this against Obama as well as being just the moronic bullshit that makes the embarressing excuse of a American news media salivate. We are now going to be fed a steady diet of this nonsense as if it is an important topic of debate.
And worst of all it is yet another thing that does nothing but help Sarah Palin. it continues to keep her as the #1 story in the media and it makes it look like she is being attacked yet again by the mean old Democrats.
It is amazing how sloppily the formerly well oiled Obama machine has become over the last few weeks. But it does make me chuckle a bit to see every word from the Obama side getting parsed for hidden meanings like what was done to the Hillary camp during the primaries. Ah, sweet irony.
