Barack Obama says John McCain's call for change is like "putting lipstick on a pig" and the McCain camp wheels out our very own Jane Swift to get all huffy. As Todd Gilman of the Dallas Morning News writes:
... Former Gov. Jane Swift of Massachusetts -- where, perhaps, they don't have colorful expressions about pigs -- denounced the comment as "disgraceful" and maintained that since Palin is the only national candidate who wears lipstick, it was clearly directed at her. ... Bloggers have dusted off instances of McCain putting "lipstick on a pig" in reference to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. No apparent outcry from Gov. Swift at the time. ...
