Bad timing in using that phrase? Oh YEAH! Was he directly slamming Palin? I don't know. I don't think he was calling anyone a pig in the truest sense of the word---Was he saying that she was of the same ilk as Bush? Probably.

I don't know--I just wish one day could go by w/o one camp accusing the other of some misconduct!
This is what I was thinking. And I was going to post that McCain has actually used it, in reference to Clinton's health care plan, I think. I think it's a non-issue, albeit interesting timing by Obama.

ETA I see somebody beat me to it about McCain using it.

AND I wish we could stop talking about lipstick. I want to know more about this whole ACORN issue.
