Let's face it. Lipstick on a pig is a classic American phrase. And there's just no better way to describe the McCain-Palin ticket:

As I write this the Obama-Biden ticket has been endorsed by 231 newspapers across the country, the McCain-Palin ticket by only 102 (see here for latest tally). The final Kerry-Bush score was 213 - 205. Most of us don't really care that much about the newspaper endorsement bragging rights and I…
Even John McCain's supporters don't care for his campaign's tactics of attacking Obama with lies.
Meanwhile, Sarah Palin has referred to her own campaign and its supporters as "atrocious and unacceptable." She told the Christian Broadcasting Network:

Well, last week I finally did it. I put up an Obama sign in
the yard. Not that anyone sees my yard.
But now that the Editors of Seed magazine have come out with an
endorsement, I may as well join the crowd and openly announce my
anonymous support, here on the Internet.
I don't like his plan for…
Steve Mirsky in Scientific American fisks McCain and Palin campaign anti-science statements (not that the remaining Republicans are any better, but these two were in the spotlight):
You're not supposed to kick a guy when he's down.
Of course, in reality, when he's down is the perfect time to kick…
Why has nobody posted a McCain picture doctored to show him wearing horrendously bright red lipstick?
Take the L out of Palin and all you have left is PAIN.
LOL.
The manufactured uproar of the moment is that Obama somehow implied Palin was the pig in the 'lipstick on a pig' comment.
Of course anyone with a brain can see that
1) there was no reference to Palin at all.
2) If there were any reference to Palin it is the indirect implication that Palin is the lipstick and McCain the pig.
But I'm pretty sure #1 is far more true than #2.
Perhaps the lipstick shown here is at the wrong end?
Think about what's happening for a minute.
Obama made a speech. The McCain campaign lifted a phrase from that speech and used it to their advantage. Now nobody is talking about Obama's legitimate criticism of McCain's policies. Instead, they are talking about whether Obama insulted McCain and Palin.
Bloogers are falling hook line and sinker for this manipulation by the McCain campaign and they've even been manipulated into making the perceived insult explicit. Shame on them.
McCain is holding his own because his campaign is completely outgunning the Obama team. Democrats everywhere should be embarrassed.
When is the last time you had anything positive to say about Barack Obama? He's turning out to be as boring as John Kerry.
