Sarah Palin responded to Charles Gibson's question about the bridge to nowhere by stating that the t-shirt she was pictured holding up in front of here bore the zip code of the community that would be served by the bridge "and not everybody in that community supported the bridge."
What's she driving at?  That she sided with those that didn't support the bridge?  Then why is she holding up the t-shirt?  I don't get the context we're supposed to put on the fact that not everyone supported the bridge even while she clearly did.

If I understand this correctly, Sarah Palin likes to speak of herself as a pit bull with lipstick.  That is, a dog with a reputation for savagery and unpredictability, for turning on people it is close to and mauling little children without warning.  That is okay; it is better than okay, it is humorous and self-aggrandizing.
But if you ever use the old canard about lipstick on a pig, ever again, well, you've just been insensitive and maybe hurt the pit bull's feelings, and you'd better apologize ASAP.
Who's being sexist here?  Can you say "double standard"?
