No, I agree with The Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder<\/a> that Obama did not call Sarah Palin a pig.  I don’t believe all references to “lipstick” are, from here on out, oblique references to her.  The “lipstick on a pig” word picture has been with us for a while.  It’s probably not the best word picture to use at this point in time, but I don’t think it was a personal attack.<\/p>\n

What I’m hoping<\/em> comes out of this election season is a realization by the many “professional victim” groups that sexism (or racism or homophobia) isn’t<\/em> hidden in every disagreement.  So, Democrats, stinks to be on the other end of the hysteria, eh?<\/p>\n
