As the Republicans gear up for a feeding frenzy about Obama using the phrase "Lipstick on a Pig," Marc Ambinder quotes from The Swamp:
McCain criticized Democratic contenders for offering what he called costly universal health-care proposals that require too much government regulation. While he said he had not studied Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's plan, he said it was "eerily reminiscent" of the failed plan she offered as first lady in the 1990s.
"I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," he said of her proposal.
But if McCain wants to fight this fight, let's bring it on.
Who called his wife a c*nt and a trollop? McCain did
Who made jokes about Gorillas raping women? McCain did.
Who called Chelsea Clinton Janet Reno's ugly child? McCain did.
If they decide to try to make a political issue of Obama using an expression like that, then I think that John McCain far worse statements about women should be on the table.
