Meghan McCain: My Dad Says "Lipstick On A Pig"

The Hill reports:

John McCain's daughter Meghan is not taking offense to Barack Obama's "lipstick on a pig" line like the rest of her father's campaign, pointing out Wednesday morning that GOP presidential nominee has been known to use the phrase.

"I've heard my dad say that, the term 'lipstick on a pig,'" McCain said during an appearance on Fox promoting her new children's book about her father.

Asked directly if she thought Obama was calling Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) a pig, McCain said, "I don't know. I hope not. I mean, I hope not, but I have no idea."

I think she knows that her dad is wrong.

[ToonMoene]

This girl is A-OK.

Did you hear her say: Listen, we can have a more educated discussion on this ticket, OK ?

Go, Meghan, GO ! Don't let them box you in !

Meghan also did not complain about Palin referring to Hockey mom's as bitches! There was NO other way to interpret her remarks!

If a man passionately supports his father watching sports then he is a "good supportive father". But to republican's if a woman supports her child playing sports she is not a good mom---- she is a bitch!

[HempCanSaveUS]

Palin is the lipstick.

McBush is the Pig!

The McCain camp may have pushed it too far with this Pig thing. I've been watching all the news channels (not Fox) and all the reporters, especially the female ones, are jumping all over the McCain surrogates. I think the media have had enough with these false claims of outrage.

Arizona politics seems to be more about Pigs and Lipstick than it is about the United States of America.

When John McCain voted to scam senior citizens from their saving during the Lincoln Savings & Loan debacle and bailout, that is the essence of Pig & Lipstick politics.

Can you imagine Ms. Piggy offering lipstick to Arizona Senator John McCain?

I love Miss Piggy!

[AZ AF VET]

I think that Obama needs to apologize for his remarks........to pigs!

[jcar]

This is a shocking display of unprofessional behavior by the FOX anchors. Unbelievable! They are pushing Meghan to try to make an insult out of a common expression, even after she suggested that her dad says this.

These people should be fired.

[debwarot]

I agree - they were definitely leading her. Kudos to Meghan for being honest!

Larry Gibson, who is famous for fighting mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachians, says repeatedly in his talks that land reclamation is like putting "lipstick on a pig" (or sometimes he says corpse). No females in the audience were ever offended. But still, Obama fell into a trap there like Kerry did in his last debate when he mentioned Cheney's gay daughter. That's all you heard for a week after and helped fuel the right's indignation.

[gotalife]

True.

He said it about Hillary's health care plan.

And bragged about killing it.

[ATruthBeKnown]

Palin: Well then, I'm going home.
McCain: OK, but there will be no questions by reporters and you keep your mouth shut.
Palin: But I'm ready to go slay so interviewers ......
McCain; Oh yeah, when you get home go to your room. I'll let you know when you can come out.

[patrickgarret]

I have yet to see ONE news report as to why McCain was one of the VERY FEW Senators who voted AGAINST our troops and funding for their college education? Anyone?

[kellygrrrl]

EXACTLY!

and where is the ad featuring all the teachers and administrators who fought for the legislation to protect kids from predators?

For Crying Outloud Dems!!!!!

[progressivelady]

Not so cute, she look's just like him

[ObamaEdwards]

MY grandfather used that phrase. Is that it? Is that all the McCain-Palin people have got? "Somebody said pig after we said pig!" Whine whine whine. Spin spin spin. That's because they have no substance, nothing real to offer us. They are frauds.
