Talk:Tropical swill

From A KoL Wiki

the text for the drink seems to reference 2 jokes used during the US Presidential Campaign. There was Sarah Palin's Joke "Whats the difference between a Pitbull and a Hockey Mom? Lipstick" and then Obama (or was it Joe Biden?)'s joke saying "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Well I guess that isn't so much of a joke, as it is a saying, but anyway. Feel free to find a competent way to put that into the notes if anyone reading this feels it is warranted. --Ohnoanotherputz 02:36, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

The thing that really made those jokes memorable was not the jokes themselves, but the absurd overreaction of the McCain/Palin campaign, pretending Obama's use of a well-worn cliche was a carefully crafted personal attack against Palin, though McCain's earlier use of exactly the same cliche somehow was not. --Phantomreader42 03:06, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
