Did he do it on purpose? Is he that low? He claims it is an 'old saying' and, in fact it is, but did he pull out that 'old saying' and use it to blast Palin and then claim some sort of plausible deniability???
Here is the whole story: Political Punch
Not only is Drudge reporting it, so is Fox. McCain's campaign complained and Obama's campaign countered by saying that last year McCain was talking about Hillary's 'health care' proposal and used the very same quote. Is that a reasonable comparison?
Obama says McCain is offering fake change. You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig
LEBANON, Va. -- "That's not change," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said of what Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is offering.
"You know, you can put lipstick on a pig," Obama said, "but it's still a pig."
The crowd rose and applauded, some of them no doubt thinking he may have been alluding to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's ad lib during her vice presidential nomination acceptance speech last week, "What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick."
