I tell you what is great about the lipstick story
All it did for McCain keeping it in the headlines is to highlight yes their polcy is greed and failure. And there is a point there you can't put lipstick on it and call it success. The point was just driven home nicely for Obama. TY MSM.

5. That was my thought precisely - take away the signature line and she has nothing
left....

As a bonus, the campaign used the words "dishonorable" in reference to McCain. Twofer.

2. Is the MSM running the clip of McSame using the same line on HRC policies?
I don't watch TV in the morning, but I did hear it mentioned on NPR that McSame himself used the same "lipstick on a pig" line months ago in reference to HRC's healthcare proposals.

Seeing that on TV would definitely be the icing on the cake.

3. My new saying is, "Do you want Change or a Dead Fish and Lipstick"?

6. OK Mom, I'll play nice.
I really think it is great metaphor though. McLame; the same old stinky failed policy, Palin; just there for the cosmetic effect to the ticket.
