Lipstick on a Pig
It’s McCain who is the pig, Just ask the DNC in July:
When John McCain rolls out his “Jobs First” economic tour in Denver today, he’ll have a lot of explaining to do to the American people. Senator McCain, according to the Wall Street Journal, “isn’t expected to say anything new” and will only “repackage proposals he has already outlined,” the equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig. With his support of George Bush‘s disastrous economic policies that have hurt America, voters will see Senator McCain offers nothing more than four more years of lost jobs, pain at the pump and a squeeze for the Middle Class.
That Nedra Pickler wrote that crap is another demonstration of stenography instead of reporting.
Let’s see some other example of Lipstick on a Pig

CROWLEY: Well, Bush is a big part of the problem, but I also think that they just don’t have a clear vision for how to get out of this hole. So they’ll be happy to get rid of Bush and they’ll be happy to be associated more closely with McCain than with Bush.
But Bush made them walk the plank on a lot of tough votes. They’ve taken a lot of positions. It’s going to be hard for them to run away from. Anyone who’s been there for a little while has to explain the record that the Congress has shown, that as Tara just explained, totally flew in the face of a lot of fiscal values.
Spending went through the roof. They didn’t get a lot done. They said they were going to. So it’s not going to solve their problem completely. I don’t really know how they’d get out of this fix. I mean, they’re trying to put lipstick on a pig.
I think to some extent, they’re just –it’s like when a team in sports just takes the hit and they rebuild, you know, and you just start from the bottom again. They’ve got to get some new leadership, some new guys to chart a new course.

“Right now our fundraising sucks,” Boehner said. “There’s no other way to put it … There’s no use putting lipstick on a pig.” Afterward, Boehner said to win seats “you need a credible candidate, you’ve got to have issues and you’ve got to have resources.” He then added, “We have to raise more money.”

: It gets down to whether you support what’s being done in this new strategy or you don’t. You can put lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig in my view. (Laughter.) And so we are — it fundamentally gets down to that.
Candy Crowley, John Boehner and John McCain–sexist bastards.
Rich mentioned reasons to hate Washington–this is a perfect example.

I read this crap and I just want to cry. Since she was selected by McCain Palin has told enough lies to remind us of the John Lovitz character. But the big issue is “lipstick on a pig” This line has been used for decades. I cannot even remember who said it first.
Interesting to note that the line is a title of a book by forer Department of defense spokeswoman Torie Clarke one of the people in the Bush administration who brought us the War in Iraq.
And Americans wonder why our country is heading for the crapper!
