The One meant to say lipstick on a pit bull but he botched the joke.

Actually, I think he just meant that no matter how you beautify it, it was still the same old thing. He even gave another example, with the fish in the newspaper. He could have said wrapping paper. The fish will still stink. I think people are making more into his lipstick comment than they should, and it could backfire on us, the way their grabbing at everything has done to them. We need to be careful. jmo

McCain needed to respond, the complaint in news stories was made yesterday, the ad was released today, we'll see if Obama responds with indignation which means McCain again controls the dialogue.

I agree McCain should now move on but I'll predict this - in the VP debate Palin will cleverly work this into a comment on, say, political reform (the subject Obama was supposedly pontificating about) and hope it rattles Biden and he jumps the shark. You watch.

Yes, I agree with you completely.
