Russ who? If Russ wore lipstick he would probably get more done than he ever has in his life.

Reminds of the time when he was in the MO House and a vote verification took place. He was clearly standing in the doorway when the board was closed and he had clearly not voted. When the verification was conducted - Russ “I’ve got Integrity but not much smarts” Carnahan asserted that he had voted but his vote had not been registered. The Speaker asked Carnahan several times to affirm that he was present at his desk and had indeed voted and his vote was not accurately reported. Carnahan refused to say that he was at his desk and had indeed voted and it was inaccurately recorded. He knew he hadn’t voted and was at least scared enough to not lie in front of God and everybody.

Wear some lipstick Russ.

Republican “ire” over the lipstick on a pig comment, which was very apropos (and had nothing to do with Paln except to the extent that she is on the Repubilcan ticket) seems manufactured in the extreme. A counter-jab is to be expected, but it shouldn’t be cartoonish if it is to be effective.

The only reason it was used is because Palin used it. No question it was a shot at Palin. Even Obama supporters in the crowd thought it was - that’s why they laughed.

Russ Carnahan is the intellectual equal of George W. Bush. I question the judgment of the Obama-Biden campaign and the Missouri Democratic Party in entrusting Carnahan with such a high-profile role. He stepped in it and helped fan the lipstickgate brouhaha nationally, distracting from Biden’s message.

Democrats play into Republican hands when they play the no-win game of trying to discredit Palin. They should treat Palin just like they would a male veep candidate: ignore her, and stick to drawing contrasts between Obama and McCain.

Obama claims to be a White Sox fan, but he’s choking in September, just like the Cubs.

“A counter-jab is to be expected, but it shouldn’t be cartoonish if it is to be effective.”

The lipstick line WAS directed at Palin, it has just enough plausible denialbilty to make it through.

But since you brought up cartoons, the important thing about the whole lipstick on a pig comment is just before he said that, he lifted the lines from a Tom Toles cartoon from Sep 5th. His campaign is now reduced to using lines from cartoons…..it says alot about the candidate.

Here is John McCain on Hillary Clinton (quoted from Chicago Tribune’s The Swamp, Oct. 11, 2007):

“..McCain criticized Democratic contenders for offering what he called costly universal health care proposals that require too much government regulation. While he said he had not studied Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s health-care plan, he said it was “eerily reminiscent” of the failed plan she offered as first lady in the early 1990s.

“I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,” he said of her proposal…’ “

PARTY ANIMALS

Start by letting sleeping pit bulls lie,
And avoid the jackass and his hooving,
Then, this rule for pigs you should apply:
They’re only lying when their lipstick’s moving.

Light verse, ripped from the headlines

Much ado about nothing.

I agree with Suzyjax. Anytime Carnahan is mentioned, it’s about nothing. He is on par with Lacy Clay in the “useless but still get elected based on name” category.

Hey Russ, MY PIT BULL WEARS LIPSTICK!

Newsandverse- Thanks for that. Pretty funny.

Unemployment is over 6%, 10% of homes are under threat of foreclosure, close to 5,000 service people, 95,000 Iraqis are dead, 1 in 5 people have no health care…and we’re focusing on lipstick and aphorisms?

God help us, we deserve what we get from our elections.

Can anyone explain to me why Rusty even has a job? Has he even accomplished anything besides repeatedly making himself look unqualified and over matched since he took office???

Palin started the stand-up comic routine last week. Now it isn’t funny.
What’s with her Squeeky Fromm voice? Sounds like Olive Oil. It’s becoming the most irritating aspect of the campaign except for McCain’s phrase “My Freinds”. And What’s with Sarah Palin’s tight skirt and 4 inch heels? This isn’t a beauty contest. Besides, it gives her a bubble-butt…Her skirt is so tight she can hardly walk. She takes short little steps. Her walk reminds me of UnderDog’s cartoon girl friend Penelope….

The GOP wishes the lipstick line was about Palin, so they have manufactured a controversy to make it look like we’re dragging their little darlin’ through the mud by her ponytail. Meanwhile, there is NO QUESTION that the charge of legislating mandatory sex education to kindergartners was made against Obama the same day. A complete work of fiction by the republican lie machine. Where is the ire?

This guy has got to go! He actually has the audacity to talk about Palin’s record? He has no record to speak of! Here’s a list of what he’s done for the people of Missouri in 4 years: He renamed a post office, IN KANSAS CITY, and he got an arterial road built in Jefferson County. WOW!!!

People of the 3rd district, we’ve got to get him out of office now!!! I’m an independent, but I saw a guy who is running against him that is right on target with what we want in a Congressman. His name is Chris Sander. He’s a CONSERVATIVE to the core! but he’s not a politician. At least what I could tell, he doesn’t have an ego and he definately isn’t a friend of Washington. He even supports the unions! (I know this because I ran into him at the teamsters rally a few weeks back)

If you truly want change, start by voting Carnahan out now!

Its obvious that the Obama supporters knew that he was making a reference about Gov. Palin as they laughed and cheered before he delivered his punchline. Regardless if he or McCain used the comment in the past many critics have agreed, Democrats and Republicans alike, that it was a stupid comment to make so soon after Palin’s famous lipstick joke. This isn’t the first time Obama has been accused of making sexist comments. What’s his problem with white, successful women?

HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH THE KARL ROVE POLITICS AND A BUNCH OF BLIND SHEEP!

MUST GIVE IT TO ROVE, HE KNOWS QUITE ACCURATELY HOW THE STUPID IN SOCIETY WILL RESPOND!

Can’t hide SWANE(PIGS) or DOGS behind LIPSTICK, Lipstick on a pig is still a pig.

By the way, MCCAIN IS WAY TOO COMFORTABLE HIDING BEHIND MRS. SARAH’S SKIRT.

What do you call a “Military Hero” who is so comfortable hiding behind a woman’s skirt avoiding the REAL ISSUES this country is facing?

Have at it because I have not found an accurate enough pathetic word for this “Same Old Same Old Karl Rove Crew”.

McCain is very good at that, isn’t he? I bet McCain the “WIMP” will not come out and call Obama to his face a sexist.

The public do not have the stomatch for the Karl Rove swane tactics. A PIG WITH LIPSTICK IS STILL A PIG!

Why did Ms. Sarah call Obama a “Pit Bull” during her convention address?
Ya, that’s the ticket. She blatantly called Obama a “Pit Bull”. It was obvious and arrogantly racist…James Carville was the first to report her snobish and uppity remarks….

Also there are a lot of blind Conservative women and maybe even some Liberal women who are blind to the fact that:

“IF YOU LAY DOWN WITH DOGS, YOU WILL COME UP WITH FLEAS”!

This Karl Rove controlled partnership between McCain/Palin will truthfully set back women 100 years and there are so many blind to that FACT. But, not only will it set women back but every working class family, man, women and child.

SAME THING WITH PIGS WITH LIPSICK:

“LAY DOWN WITH PIGS WITH LIPSTICK YOU STILL COME UP WITH (SHE-IT)”.

“IF YOU LAY DOWN WITH DOGS, YOU WILL COME UP WITH FLEAS”!D. Walker

You mean like Wright, Ayres, Rezcko? Those three dogs have a lot of fleas and your boy is known to lay with them as well as other nutjobs of Chicago.

For the record, It didn’t bother me one bit that Obama used “lipstick on a pig” remark.

It does bother me deeply that Russ Carnahan can impersonate a Congressman.

“Whew, and I’m nuts.” — D. WALKER 12:24 am September 1st, 2008

D. WALKER, Please more, more, more of your cut-n-paste Obama talking points!

Can you please, please, please go back to the old ways and give us more of your old Scripture mis-interpretations?

===

“McCain/Palin will truthfully set back women 100 years…” This is the same type of idiotic comment Joe Biden made yesterday. A woman as Vice President of the United States is anything BUT a step backwards for women.

You can spam the blogs with as much rhetoric as you like it still won’t change the facts. This is just another example of the sexism in the Obama camp.

For the record that arterial road the Congressman helped get built was very important. The roads in the county are old and poorly built. There are countless car accidents, and many unnecessary deaths on the back roads of Jefferson County because no one was bringing in the federal money to improve them. By doing that Carnahan has potentially saved lives.
Hate him all you want for other things, but that was a huge boon to those of us in the southern part of the third district.

Jeffco….the Ditto Heads would rather Carnahan provide funding for building Halliburton roads in Iraq.

Of which road do you speak?

http://carnahan.house.gov/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=1389

Route MM

It’s one of the only sizable east-west routes in the county. And it needed a lot of work. People died on that road all the time. It had large ditches on the sides, with no guardrails. It’s a very windy road, and almost impossible to navigate safely in the rain, or at all in the winter.

And it’s safer now.

I posted this line on another blog thread yesterday. I guess I was a bit ahead of the curve on this topic.

I put lipstick on my pitbull last week. Got calls from the McCain people to see if she was qualified for their VP spot. After I advised them that my pitbull was spayed the McCain people told me that would not go over well with the GOP conservative base. I guess Sarah Palin is their type of pitbull.

Jeff County, I traveled that road everyday for 2 summers. Sometimes I was driving a loaded down 1 ton dump truck pulling a bobcat on a trailer. I know what kind of road MM was. The upgrade is welcome, but it was indeed safe enough for 99.9% of sane drivers. You have knuckleheads driving on every road in the county. That one wasn’t any different.

In the end, good for Jefferson County.

Only a fool would think that Obama would call this candidate a pig. Do you people really think you are smart? This is another spin job from the republicans, taking you stupid sheep to slaughter.

HERE WE GO AGAIN THE KARL ROVE SHEEP, THEY RECOGNIZE THEIR SHEPARD’S VOICE.

Right, BobZ, Amazedbythelunacy, Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum and the infamous JasonB who does not see the rape of a 14 year old being a child who was raped.

Maybe I should have stated more correctly that JasonB does not see the rape of a 14 year old child by a Conservative “Family Values” Republican as rape of a child.

Oops, I should have smelled as SWINE(PIG) way above, not SWANE (PIG).

But will the McCain/Palin people get to the ISSUES!!!!!

You mean Representative Gerry Studds, Democrat - MA is at it again ??

I am amazed at the number of Republicans who the moment they hear the word “pig” they think of their VP-nominee. Shame on them for being the sexist prejudiced piglets they are. Oink, Oink.

Sheesh!
