The Mendacity of the Dope: The Legend ContinuesThe legend of Senator Barack Hussein Obama's oratory continues! Making use of his rhetorical skills, he made a perfectly innocent line--"If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig"--the source of 456,000 hits (and, presumably, counting) on Google.
This was always my knock on Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's style of speaking (except, where Candidate Obama is halting and nuanced in his delivery, Senator Clinton was shrill and annoying). By virtue of his efforts to speak carefully, he appears to be...well...stupid. Even on the teleprompter, Candidate Obama struggles to make me think he actually believes what he is saying. Off the idiot board, he simply struggles to string together a coherent thought.
As far as I am concerned, this was just another rhetorical flourish (albeit a poorly delivered one).
He need not apologise to Candidates McCain, Palin, or the distaff population of America.

While shrill and annoying, she always left me with the impression that she felt she was speaking to small children who could not possibly understand what she was saying. Very slow and deliberate. Yet, the woman had/has a "set". In a way that I could understand and respect. I find Palin to be insulting and frightening in a way that I cannot explain as of yet. Maybe "the evil you know vs the evil you don't".Funny, I do not have a say in this election, but it will impact me.
