Slog - Comments on Lipstick on a Pi...tbull http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/lipstick_on_a_pitbull One of the best new blogs on the national stage is Mudflats, an Alaskan blog that's very anti-Palin. (Impalin has a better title but isn't doing the work it needs to do.) Today, Mudflats examines the problem with Palin's joke about being a pitbull with lipstick or what the fuck ever. Turns out that three weeks ago, Alaskan newspapers were all abuzz with this bit of current events: Child Taken Off Life Support After Pit Bull Attack. This was the big news story in Alaska for several days that week. A child and her babysitter were viciously attacked by the...

Because that's what it sounds like to me. Game on, "Governor". Biden = Death Star Palin = Alderaan.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, Savage.

At least in my experience (my mom used to drive me to my Pottstown Penguins hockey games)

All the genius there belongs to Sarah Palin and her speechwriter.

SEATTLE, WA--Today the Stranger, an "alternative" newspaper in Seattle, claimed that GOP VP nominee Sarah Palin was guilty of inapropriate joking when she compared herself to a pit bull with lip stick.

"This is offensive to pit bull victims everywhere," a spokes-ped-transit-mode-neutralperson said.

"It's very shameful that someone would make a joke, espeicially on national tv."

"It also shows a shocking lack of sensitivity to folks in Seattle, Washington, who are well known to be irony-impaired," the spokesperson added. "As such, it is an insult to all Scandanavians and Lutherans uptight prudes everywhere."

The spokesperson pointed to that classic Seattle joke:

A: How many Seattleites does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A. One. I'm pretty sure of that. If you agree, that is. Why?

Meanwhile, the Stranger noted that comparing Palin to Adolph Hitler is a-okay. "While pit bulls and their victims might feel humiliated by Palin's 'joke,' everyone knows that being a small government anti choice conservative is the moral equivalent of killing about ten million people and trying to take over all of Europe and North Africa," the spokesperson noted, adding an apology for for bombing Japan and participating in interning the Japanese Americans, however passively.

"It's just not funny to make insensitve comments about pit bulls, or any bulls, or to be fair, any female cattle as well," s/he further explained.

"Imagine how the poodles feel, being excluded in so blatant a fashion."
