YES, OBAMA CALLED McCAIN AN OLD FISH,

and yes, he called Palin a pig.  Anyone who's read Obama's memoir knows that this is a man with real anger issues.  And certainly this is a man who's major talent has been with crafting words for a purpose, and only a fool wouldn't see what Obama's purpose was in using a dual metaphor of an old fish and a lipstick wearing pig.  His audience was certainly hip to Obama's bit of "playing the dozens" with Palin and McCain as his victims.
