Probably Not the Best Turn of Phrase...

Barack Obama, at a campaign event today:
"That's not change. You know, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig."

He may or may not have meant that as an allusion to Sarah Palin's now-famous comment in her acceptance speech (“What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick!”), but his admirer's certainly thought he did. And that's not likely to go over well with the wavering Obama supporters.

It's more pleasurable than I thought it would be to see the Democrats on defensive for once...
