This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping two apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as the more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative “f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians interviewed for this article.

Am I missing sarcasm or an attempt at humor here?

If you're serious about accusing a VP candidate of saying these things, I would come up with a better link than an obscure left-wing blog with "Lucille" the waitress and "people who know her" as the sources for this info.

On the "lipstick on a pig" thing, pure political play. I hope the debates are substantive and not this type of junk.
