Pretty sure McCain has used the same exact phrase when speaking of Hillary Clinton and her policies in the past... a few times. Sensitivity has no place in this election. Too much important shit going on to even waste time analyzing remarks like this. All it does is allow the media to spend ALL day talking about it... thus creating time lost for the Obama campaign. (Note: this tactic works both ways... when parties start trying to find hidden insults in every sentence, it just detracts from WHAT MATTERS)

Gov. Palin literally said that there is no difference between a mother with kids that play hockey and an aggressive breed of canine... other than lipstick. It is an expression that can be viewed as an insult when deconstructed and spun.

Maybe they should just hug and be friends? :hippy:
