Lipstick on a pig

John McCain's ridiculous campaign antics continued today, as he seized on an innocent remark that Obama made about McCain's policies being the same as those of George Bush. Obama stated that, "you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig". Watch the video of Obama's remark here. McCain's campaign called the comment a direct, sexist shot at Sarah Palin, since at the GOP convention last week, she stated that the only difference between a Hockey Mom and a pitbull was lipstick. False accusation notwithstanding, their claim would have some weight if McCain himself had not used the exact same term when discussing Hillary Clinton's health care plan in October. Even McCain's daughter admitted that McCain himself uses the same term that McCain is now 'offended' by. McCain, you bloody hypocrite! Additionally, a former McCain advisor wrote a book called 'Lipstick On A Pig'! The media is starting to see this for what it is; a contrived attempt to drive a fake controversy...because every moment that the McCain campaign makes the news cycle about distractions (and not about the GOP record for the last eight years), they succeed for another day.
