Donna Brazille (sp?) said that, too.  I heard that it came from some blog.

Yes, it's an old saying, but to use it at this particular time right after Palin's famous phrase invoking the same makeup item was just dumb.

I presume it would be impolitic to point out that Pilate beat Jesus?

"I see no fault in this man."

Pilate was a pragmatist swept up in somebody else's story.

I agree,

As I recall the story, it didn't turn out all that well for Jesus personally.  And it took a while to work out for his followers.  Do the republicans have any lions?

The Dems can put lipstick on Obama but he's still a socialist. Wonder with his upbringing if he eats pork?

     I hope Cohen's Jewish constituents crucify him for that remark.
