Lipstick comments color presidential campaign
McCain is now calling Obama sexist because he used a lipstick comment to illustrate what he sees as merely a coverup of a real problem. Is that really more sexist than choosing a female running mate simply because it will give you the opportunity to make sexist claims? No one would care about makeup comments if Palin weren’t part of the race, but now concessions must be made because a woman is in the room.
I guess we just have to hope the majority of voters will look away from the comments taken out of context and focus on the real subject matter. At least there’s less than 2 months more to endure.
Now come inside, recess is over.
Yeah, it’s so annoying, and I don’t even live there in the thick of it. They do a lot of coverage of the election over here–well, at least, on the BBC. It will be nice when it is over. By the way, I think the consensus over here (from what I hear on the streets, you know) is that Obama should win. I don’t know if anyone actually knows anything about him, though. (Just that “he isn’t going to be another 4 years of Bush.”)
