Whether you believe Obama´s original use of this phrase was supposed to reference Sarah Palin directly or not, mine is. No matter how you dress it up, it´s still a pig.
And it´s a pig that thinks it´s acceptable to get other people to pay for its clothes and its makeup. Given Sarah Palin´s history of claiming travel expenses for nights spent at home and for flying her children around in Alaska, and given her excesses in terms of getting the RNC to pay for $150,000 in clothes and a makeup artist who charges $11,400 *per week*, is there any doubt in your mind that she would continue doing the same thing as Vice President? So (assuming the same rate of spending, and the same cavalier Republican notions of getting other people to pay for their personal luxuries) YOU, as a taxpayer, would be picking up the tab for over a million dollars in clothes over the next four years, and $2,371,200 in makeup. Doesn´t that just warm the cockles of your greedy, fiscally conservative, me-first hearts?
