Sarah Palin's now famous "lipstick" joke from her acceptance speech Wednesday night is generating lots of buzz in Democratic circles and the liberal blogosphere. Not because of how funny it was, but because of its similarity to another (in)famous one-liner delivered by controversial evangelical pastor John Hagee.Palin, who, like Hagee, is an evangelical Christian, had Republicans inside St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center doubled over laughing when she said, "What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick."
Hagee, in his book "What Every Man Wants in a Woman," wrote, "Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick."
Add plagiarism to the list. I guess Joe Biden is now immune from criticism.

Nearly time for Obama on O'Reilly. I'll put up an open thread and keep adding to it.
Good, because I'm not watching it, even for Obama, so deep is my OLiely hatred.
I will be gagging the entire time, I can assure you.
Can someone please help our country from this crap we are being subjected to? Does it not look like a sea of wrinkled, stupid people at the RNC? These people are so full of crap. Palin is a freaking nut case. Even if a woman is raped? No termination. That is just plain old cruel.
I am embarrassed to be American with these people.
Join the club, Anon.
Just heard Lakoff on the radio, on NPR. He called Palin an extremist, a charming extremist.
In a grating kind of way...
I've heard a hundred different versions of this joke. It was around for decades before Hagee got his hands on it. It's public domain - no more plagiarism than using the words "the" and "and" in a speech would be.
And in any case, it wasn't Palin who wrote that speech. She knows that the budget for Wasilla grew 441% during the ten years she was in city government; would she accuse someone else of growing government, knowing that she was highly vulnerable?
The truth is sufficient; there's no need to stretch it to make a point.
I wasn't the one who stretched it. I read the report and I posted it.
Save the accusations.
The word plagiarism was snark. It's a joke. I'm a comedian, I'm more than aware of what's public domain and what isn't.

What's the difference between a soccer mom and a pitbull? LipsticK! Good one Sarah. So what's next, Yo Mamma Jokes? It seems to play with the 'good ole boys, you have to be willing to jump in the ring and wrestle in the mud. And since the Republican candidate for Vice-President, Sarah Palin, "is a girl" she'll have to show she's one tough bitch, capable of ripping the media and political foes a new one, and getting down and dirty with the "boys."
So, please be careful, and stay a safe distance from your high definition TV. These political dog fights are known to particularly bloody and vicious. Rumour has it that Michael Vick has been secretly giving McCain and Palin campaign advice. American politics, you might say it's a dog-eat-dog world. "Yo! Obama, Biden....Bite Me!"
