What is so impossible about seeing that the pig in lipstick kerfuffle is about Palin, when Obama's audience absolutely got it? The reason they whooped and hollered grandly was not because he slammed McCain. That intensity of response could only have happened because his little "in joke" was about Palin. His sneaky insults have become an art form. No, Hillary supporters are not crazy or hysterics. And I hope you are not insinuating that Judy, in not so veiled code, needs to get laid. That would be about as helpful as your cure for the ladies who have probably been faking it. There are too many quacks waddling around here.
