Michael Fauntroy Discusses "Lipstick on a Pig" on the CBS Early Show

The "fallout" over Barack Obama's "lipstick-on-a-pig" comment is ridiculous.  Here is a CBS Early Show story on the topic.  I discuss the "controversy" with anchor Maggie Rodriguez (I invade your screen about 2:45 seconds in; I wish someone would have told me that my collar looked so crazy!).  My overall view is that every minute the Obama campaign has to respond to this foolishness is a minute that they can't make the argument that Palin is unqualified.  The McCain campaign is doing a good job of keeping the Obama campaign off-balance by making mountains out of molehills.

It might be one thing if Obama said "lipstick on a pitbull."  Then, okay, that's a diss.  But so what?  Candidates diss each other all the time.  Big deal.
