Tipsheet New McCain Ad: 'Lipstick' Matt Lewis | September 10, 2008 7:28 AM This sort of puts it all together ...Update: Several folks are pointing out that McCain has used this cliche in the past, and that an aide of his has a book titled, "Lipstick on a Pig." Of course, this is entirely irrelevant. The context of Obama's remark is what matters. Just last week, Palin delivered those lines. They weren't hidden in her speech -- it was the most famous line of her entire political career. And you're telling me Obama wasn't at least making a veiled reference? He's either a complete idiot -- or guilty of this attack: It must be one or the other ...Update: Hmm. Obama surrogate Russ Carnahan also made a lipstick reference yesterday. Coincidence???
