Meghan McCain: My Dad Says 'Lipstick on a Pig'
@ 9:11 am by Andy Barr

John McCain's daughter Meghan is not taking offense to Barack Obama's "lipstick on a pig" line like the rest of her father's campaign, pointing out Wednesday morning that GOP presidential nominee has been known to use the phrase.

"I've heard my dad say that, the term 'lipstick on a pig,'" McCain said during an appearance on Fox promoting her new children's book about her father.

Asked directly if she thought Obama was calling Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) a pig, McCain said, "I don't know. I hope not. I mean, I hope not, but I have no idea."

"I don't like anyone being referred to as a pig in any context," McCain added. "I think there's a lot more educated conversations we can have about the ticket than just saying these remarks like that."

During a campaign stop Tuesday, Obama attacked McCain and Palin for what he sees as a false portrayal of their records on reform.

"You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," Obama said.

The McCain campaign has hit back hard over the comment putting out a new ad and issuing strong responses.

Responding to McCain, the Obama campaign sent out a reminder to reporters that McCain used the phrase in 2007 to describe Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-N.Y.) health care plan.

Either she's really friggin' stupid or she really, secretly is trying to derail her father. Either way, I hope she keeps it up.

she looked "pissed" at the convention...remember when she swiped her mother's hand away as Cindy tried to reach for it as they stood on stage with everyone applauding?

It was one of those priceless moments. :)

like Cindy!

But... we shall see. :rofl:

srsly?

Anyhow, her take on the lipstick comment is awesome. And honest! I bet Daddy won't keep letting her be on the teevee.

:rofl:

heh...not only has McCain used the "lipstick on the pig" metaphore, but he basically called Mitt Romney a PIG (even though Jane Swift said last night "uh...of course he wasn't saying that!") during the primaries.
