Huh? She made the exact same joke on herself, except it was a pit bull, not a pig, right?

I've heard this phrase before and I saw the context in which he used it. It was, in no way, aimed at Palin. Politics irritates the shit out of me.

I've heard that saying before ("lipstick on a pig"), they seriously over-reacting. I was tired of this cry of sexism bullshit with Hillary and I'm sick of it now. If you're losing a campaign, or being asked to answer questions it's sexism now. It's honestly belittling true sexist problems in our society.

Well, it's sexism for Obama to use the phrase (and…really? Was it directed AT Palin?), but it's not sexism for McCain to use it, or to call his wife a "cunt", either. Right?

(Sorry, I know the cunt thing has been done to death, but I like the word and cannot stop using it today).

I think Hillary needs to get all kinds of angry again and demand a VERY LATE apology from McCain for his use of it. Put that bitchiness to good use

He wasn't referring to jessica simpson? I just thought he was Team Underwood.

Well, he could have said "you can polish a turd, but it'll still be a turd." Means the same thing. Would it have been less offensive?

They want an apology but they're already using what obama said in an ad for McCain. Dudes (gop) you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Sarah I think that the word turd is woefully underused in today's political environment.

How about something like "the McCain/Palin ticket is trying to piss on the collective leg of the American People, while telling them it is raining."?

I'm bringing turd back to politics. When I become a speechwriter, you will all know my mark. So to speak. Ew.

I think Obama should come out and say "Too bad your thick skulls can't grasp the idea that I was referring to her hateful and self-righteous "piggish" policies and personality and not her physical appearance or gender."

Well now let's have a serious discussion comparing the merits and failings of pigs vs. turds.

I'll get the ball rolling. Turds contribute to global warming.

lol @ lisa - did you know that judge judy released a book that's really called that? "don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining!" …classy!

Pigs contribute to BACON.

Point for pigs!

Turds elicit a more instinctive response and have stronger visual imagery.

The phrase "That would go over like a turn in punch bowl" is also underrepresented in politics. Or you could use the variation my brother used once "That would go over like a turd on a field trip". While he got the saying wrong I can only assume that a turd on a field trip would, in fact, not go over well.

I meant "turd in a punch bowl", naturally. Why can't I type?

It doesn't go over well. I distincly remember a turd making an appearance at a field trip.

Also, pigs contribute to global warming, by way of their turds. I think. Or is that sheep. Well, farm animals in general are not helping with the cause, although I agree that bacon is tasty.

I'm so glad we're making use of our intellects here, with this discussion. This is how we open up a dialogue, get people talking about vital issues.

Speaking of pig farts (or sheep farts), has anyone seen the movie "Black Sheep" (not the Chris Farley one)? If you like movies about crazy sheep, bad sheep jokes, and cute Australians, it may be for you. I personally loved it, but I'm twisted like that, and the bf (who is a country boy) has a never-ending supply of farm animal jokes…

Oops, I meant sheep turds. Farts, turds, they're all related right?

Reminds me of this greeting card I saw. "What's the true definition of a fart?" (Open up the card) "The cry of an imprisoned turd".

Em I saw that movie too! I LOVED IT! We only rented it but I'm thinking seriously of buying it. It is unintentional comedy at its finest. I like when the sheep walk up to the scientists and baaa all dimurely and then proceed to mauling them.

I third the seeing of Black Sheep. Hehhe hehe heheh.

So far it looks like Turds are leading in sheer charisma. There's no such thing as bad publicity, and turds are no exception. Whether it's in punch bowls or field trips or even pigstys, the Turd gets around, and it's making its case. Now the Pigs' real value, which lies in ther Bacon argument, also seems to be their key downfall. I for one can't wait to see how this plays out. Will it become a battle over which bears more responsibility for harmful gases? Or can they work our their differences in time for a Pig/Turd ticket this year? Stay tuned.

this is THE dumbest damn thing ever. Please — issues, anyone??

I am falling out of love with America. I need a Ford Commercial For The Soul.

Oh… I have to go tell someone about this! Be right back.

i think it's cute that cord turns into a crotchity old man when an election rolls around.

Sar that made me tear up a little.

There's nothing crotchety about being a watchdog.

cord is totally a crotchity old man. soon he'll be waving a cane at little kids while screaming at them to stay off his lawn.

Hello it's COWS that contribute to global warming via their mass passing of gas and our large demand for beef. Read something, people.

Turds are fornicators, pigs are snake handlers.

You know what? Stoney is not very much fun. Now I've lost my erection.

Sarah, is that a Friends reference? Whatever the case it made me laugh.

If puss n boots gets dragged into this I am going to shoot up the club.

killorn will smack a bitch. trust. :)

Hee. I just came back from lunch and am loving these comments. Love the idea of a Pig/Turd ticket, by the way.

Oily, yes, Rachel said it to Monica whilst complaining about Ross, aka "Stoney."

Stoney you pro-pig people are all the same! GET A LIFE AND STOP REEDING BLOG COMMINTS AND GO LEARN A BOOK!!! GAH!

Also YOU ARE AN IDIOT. I KNOW TONS MORE ABOUT PIGS THAN YOU DO. And my information is CORRECT. Betcha didnt know I considered myself only one notch above an idiot, since I only know about ONE MORE THING than you know (stupid!). IN IDIOTS VS. IDIOTS PLUS ONE, IDIOTS PLUS ONE IS THE WINNERS!!!

AT LEAST TURDS HELP PEOPLE! I BET SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS NEVER HEARD OF A PIG. BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT TURDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!11one!

….too much?

pigs don't believe in equal pay for dogs

Uh, hanging chad for Sar, hags

I also nominate her for sweeping the leg.

Thought so Sarah, I just watched that episode last night. Love it.

Oh for God's sake, why can't anyone ever take MY comments as a joke? *gets on knees, sucks Sarah's dick*
Better?

Stoney needs an Easy button on the S T A T

Oh! That IS better! Thank you, Stoney. I wish your blowjobs were a little more fun, though.

Stoney do you honestly think I consider you pro-pig? It's all jokes on my end. Now finish the job and get yourself together.

I meant that in a wistful way, not an "I'm complaining" way.

Oops I thought he said sar. Par for the course today. Is there such thing as a jack and coke pill I can take?

Damn, and now Im not even getting that sweet bj.

That's because we are a sarahdiculous team, sar. It's unavoidable.

turd inhaled in college

Yeah, it's not that sweet. Still not complaining, though. Just thinking about someone else, so I can just finish, already.

Pig doesn't care about black people!

Pig garners low black voter turnout anyhow, based on the "swine is filthy" stigma that the party has never been able to shake.

Next on the agenda.
Proposed slogans:
GO TURD GO!
TURD THINGS AROUND!
YES WE are in the CAN!

Well, that is a clear hanging chad if ever there was one.

A turd in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Just like you fucking pigs. Can't be grateful for a decent blowjob.

Oh, I never said I wasn't grateful. I am. It was, um, good. Money's on the dresser.

I AM NOT A HOO-RUH!!

Oh… I didn't mean it that way! I meant, "I would like to pay for you to pick up your drycleaning/ buy textbooks/ get an oil change/ what have you." That's all! I swear!

Well fine. But I already got my oil changed on Saturday, so a lot of good you were to me THEN. God!

Sarah I missed hanging chad. I've seen the reference but i don't know where the joke is… it makes me feel very… deeboed.

HEY SAR I KNOW WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION

Where?

I know, sar, and it is a source of major frustration to me. Listen to killorn and let her be your guide, grasshopper.

oh wait. i bet i know. the most overwhelming source of reading material in my life since the booklet that came with this camera?

Quite possibly.

ding ding ding

this never happened

sar is actually an acronym and it stands for dense. :)

I thought it was Saudi Arabia's Rad

Sure, I also hear Same As Raisins a lot.

this is was very poor judgment on obama's part. He should have carefully considered the timing of his comment. It would have been one thing had he made the comment before Palin's bulldog in lipstick comment, but he didn't. Poor taste!

It's a figure. Of. Speech.

The fragile Republicans need to treat their chronic case of WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! with a big steaming pot of Shut The Fuck Up.

I see a future were the Pigs and the Turds can come together for the good of the people!

We can do so much better for the people if we can stop this bickering.

Let us unite our strengths and complement each other Pigs and Turds! There is so much common ground here.

I see the Pigs crossing the isle to take a Turd, and move forward to the trough together.

Lets all unite against these pesky FLIES! This is the REAL enemy of the Pigs and Turds.

silly rabbit,

that doesn't make any sense AT ALL. So if tomorrow Palin makes a speech and compares her nose to the Iraq war should obama not say the war in iraq is a mess, coz that would insult palin's nose??

GTFO

What about the flies, maria?

They are a scourge.

This is an issue.

(I'm TRYING to bring the two sides together so I can have world domination. Ghaaaahhh.)

Stoney, I got it was a joke! I've always liked you simply because your name is stoney. wink wink.

I'm also drunk. Does that count for anything around here?

No?

Bueller?

Testes, testes, 1, 2, 3.

i thought it was Silly Ass Rabbit.

This blog has turned into nothing more than a place for liberals to attack anything they don't agree with. it used to be a fun blog that would provoke a giggle, now it's so politically biased one's more likely to find funny, celebrity news on an actual news website. i handle politics, but there's another place for it — political blogs — and it's a shame that this one has changed so much. further more, if you don't appear to agree with cord's posts, you get attacked by other readers! poor managing of a once-funny site…

I would like to point out that liberal doesn't equal democrat and that not all people who disagree with republicans are democrats, liberal or otherwise.

I almost agree with S.Rabbit, though - he should have known that unable to campaign on the merits of their positions, the McCain camp would have use Rovian smear tactics. That is why I am supporting Turd.

I agree with Silly Rabbit's last comment. It's blatantly obvious to anyone that Cord and the self-proclaimed "hags" of MG will vote for Obama. Which is all any of you can do, no matter how much you call Palin a cunt. It's the same type of posts and the same people making the same comments over and over.

The horse is dead, you can quit beating it now.

ihbl - derisive adjectives aside, I would love to know what is so wrong with people who agree talking about things they agree about? Do you only engage in conversation when you disagree with the other person? Would you say the same thing if everyone agreed with you? I would submit that there are some people on the site, who don't want discussion because they are in the minority.

No matter what the content is, political or not, it's boring to read the same type of posts and comments every 4th post.

no. 85 and no. 89:

don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

SELF-PROCLAIMED? SELF! PRO-CLAAAAIMED!?? We are the hags! It is in our blood! We are hagtastic and there is no self-proclaimed about it! Except that when you question it, I myself, my proclaim it!

OK Im done.

my proclaim it??? I wanted to say MUST proclaim it.
but i knew a kid with bad grammar in the 1st grade who would have said exactly that so let me reiterate - MY PROCLAIM IT!

#90- seen that one before, like I said, same comments over and over….wake me when you have something original to say.

ihbl, honestly, then…why are you still here?

I don't mean that in a nasty way…but if you don't like the content of these comments, DON'T READ THEM.

Why is that so hard for the complainers to understand? If I see a thread that I'm not interested in, I don't read it or post on it.
