Subject: Re: [C-PALSY] lipstick on a pig.
To: [log in to unmask]


It was an uncharacteristic gaffe, and after reading the article, I
don't think it was a direct slam against Palin.  IMHO, he was
referring to the old saying about dressing up an old idea as a new
one, as being similar to putting lipstick on a pig - it doesn't
improve the animal's appearance appreciably, and annoys the pig.

Here's a reference from the urban dictionary:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=putting+lipstick+on+a+pig

And the current vice president has used thge line more than once:

Can we say "Slow news day"?

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
