I can’t imagine how BRCK BM can be telling the truth that he wasn’t intentionally alluding to Gov. Palin with his “lipstick on a pig” comment, especially given his audience’s amused reaction. I thought it was a clever jab, but if BRCK BM maintains that he simply stumbled upon an untimely cliche, that’s his loss. We certainly can’t prove otherwise without further information only BRCK BM and his handlers would know.

I also laughed when I heard part of BRCK BM’s defense: “What their campaign has done this morning is the same game that makes people sick and tired about politics in this country.”

I laughed because I first thought that I’m certainly not sick and tired of politics, then I remembered this line from Monty Python:

I think that all good, right thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that all good, right thinking people in this country are fed up with being told that all good, right thinking people in this country are fed up with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am.

We’re sick and tired of being told that we’re sick and tired of politics, and that somehow right thinking people in this country should be adopt the new politics of Obama, which is actually the old politics of the Chicago machine, writ large.
