“Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan on Tuesday introducing Joe Biden at a campaign event ripped into Palins record and punctuated it with this snarky jab. Theres no way you can dress up that record, even with a lot of lipstick, he said. Later in the day, Obama used a variation of the lipstick line, though he was clearly talking about the McCain-Palin reform rhetoric. “You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “It’s still a pig.”

Let me partially correct. Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan on Tuesday said this while introducing Joe Biden.
However, my point remains. Dems are crafting language around the lipstick comments of Sarah Palin.
