Quotes:

**"You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Barrack Obama (whether or not he meant this for Sarah Palin is anybody's guess, but if he didn't, maybe he needs to exercise better judgment)

**"What's the difference between Palin and Muslim fundamentalists? Lipstick" Juan Cole, salon.com

**"Palin Would Be Backward Step for Women." Joe Biden

**"She added nothing to the ticket that the Republicans didn't already have sewn up, the white trash vote, the demographic that sullies America's name inside and outside its borders yet has such a curious appeal for the right. So why do it? It's possible that Republican men, sexual inadequates that they are, really believe that women will vote for a woman just because she's a woman. They're unfamiliar with our true natures. Do they think vaginas call out to each other in the jungle night? No, she isn't even female really. John Doyle, the cleverest critic in Canada, comes right out and calls Palin an Alaska hillbilly." Heather Mallick, CBC News, Canada (AND WHO CARES what the Canadians think?????)

**"These are not the times for right-wing screwball. The world is aflame and we have been pondering the knocked-up daughter of a pert and uncannily confident Alaskan mediocrity who was elevated to a national ticket for the purpose of changing the conversation." Leon Wieseltier, The New Republic

**"In the press galleries at the convention, journalists wrinkled their noses in disgust when Piper, Ms. Palin's youngest daughter, was filmed kitty-licking her baby borther's hair into place." David Carr, New York Times

**"She looks like a WalMart mom." Joan Walsh, salon.com, on MSNBC

**"She's got to go through the media vetting process." Michael Smirconish, MSNBC

Well, is any comment needed after these? (I found these on the Fight the Palin Smears website) I think they pretty much speak for themselves.
