The lipstick comment — we do live in weird political times.  The other day we were crucifying Palin because of her Freddie and Fanny mistake, and the media is doing the same to Obama for a comment about lipstick.

In all of fairness, I have heard this saying before, although the timing couldn’t be worse — Palin referred to herself as (take note) a pit bull with lipstick on just a week prior — the media just could not resist.

First off, Obama always chooses his words carefully — most times its tailored for the people who will be listening to him, so was this a “malicious” attack, or just a saying?  Obama explained himself in Letterman just the other night, to clarify himself, he said that Palin was the lipstick; McCain [and his inefficient policies] the pig.

Do you think it was intentional, or was it an honest mistake?

How funny is that response ad by Paris Hilton?

Of course the timing couldn’t be any better. McCain and the people handling his campaign made sure of that.

But underneath that funny little viral video — is a deep truth. It calls out the recent attack ads and gives it a statement that, they could ultimately backfire — and that, campaigning isn’t about poking holes at the other candidate’s plans, rather, it is about finding the solutions that people need, promising it to ‘em and delivering.

And that’s what I learned from Paris Hilton today.
