The McCain campaign is lashing out at Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama for likening "change" on a McCain-Palin ticket to putting "lipstick on a pig," saying the line is an attack on vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and demanding an apology. According to CNN, however, this isn’t the first time that phrase has been used during this campaign season, and the first person to use it was John McCain.

Obama used the line in a speech addressing a crowd of followers in Virginia Tuesday evening. The speech, according to Obama staffers, was intended to respond to McCain’s recent claims that he is the real candidate for change....

...Then reporters at CNN did some digging, tracing the use of the phrase throughout this campaign season back to John McCain last October. According to CNN, McCain used the phrase at a campaign stop while referring to Hillary Clinton’s 1993 failed health care plan.

"I think they put some lipstick on the pig, but it's still a pig," McCain said.
