Politifact.com gives McCain "lipstick on a pig" accusation "Pants on Fire Rating"
http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/706/

The attacks are rated True, Mostly True, Half True, Barely True, False, or Pants on Fire, and this one got Pants on Fire.

"John McCain says he's about change, too," Obama said. "And so I guess his whole angle is, 'Watch out, George Bush! Except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy, and Karl Rove-style politics, we're really going to shake things up in Washington.'"

"That's not change," Obama said. "That's just calling something the same thing something different. But you know, you can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change, it’s still going to stink after eight years. We’ve had enough of the same old thing."

Gasp! He just said lipstick! Did he just call Sarah Palin a pig??!!!

1. I am so sick of the fuckhead McCain....
making this election about trivial matters in order to prevent Obama and the rest of the nation in having a debate as to how the country should make itself better. All he gives a shit about is controlling the news cycle and winning the fucking election. Back in 200 I honestly thought McCain was an honest and fair person and senator. He has lost my respect. He is using Bush/Rove style politics because it's all about McCain first and Country 200000. I hate that man!
