I turned on the television and they are dissecting this analogy over and over again. CNN had two women bloggers on- one conservative and the other a liberal, and both are saying that this is not a sexist statement. Then, in an attempt to rescue myself from this mundane ridiculousness, I change the channel to MSNBC only to find out more about the four words that are clearly taken out of context. I need the media to cover something other than misleading sound bytes. McCain can paint his own misleading picture- and he already has an ad to do it- not that he needs it- the media, today, is doing his campaigning for him.
I don't mean to beat a dead moose here, but the Republican Party must stop illustrating Sarah Palin as a victim- she is anything but. Obama's lipstick comment was not referring to, talking about or taking a jab at Sarah Palin- he hadn't even mentioned her. He was referring to McCain's platform and the fact that "change" takes on a very different meaning within the Republican's campaign.
Barack Obama is anything but a sexist, so please lay off the lipstick rhetoric. Women aren't about lipstick, and we're not so sensitive (and need I say stupid) to think that every mention of cosmetics is aimed at our gender. I think someone who is campaigning to be our second in command would recognize that.

You go girl! I wish more people would realize that McCain is a complete moron, and that Palin is just eye candy-nothing more!
I agree with both comments. I hope we expect Sarah to know a little bit about foreign policy. I know she can see Russia from her back yard but maybe she should know a little more than that.
