McCain's people make a pig's ear of it

[daibhidc]

So Obama uses the phrase "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig" to criticise the Republicans' economic policy.

And McCain's people cry sexism and claim it's an attack on Scary Palin Woman.

And then it turns out McCain said "they put some lipstick on a pig" in reference to Hilary Clinton's health policy.

Raising the question: If Team McCain don't bother listening to the man, why should anyone else?

The phrase was even the title of a book by Torie Clarke, a PR Consultant who was a former Press Secretary to John McCain.

Unfortunately, the McCain press machine seems to be so much more active and powerful than the Obama press machine, so it doesn't look like many people will realise this.
