I don't have the nerves for these shouting heads politics shows, but this clip is necessary viewing. Watch Chris Matthews push the question of whether the latest McCain attack ad is really saying that Obama called Palin a pig and that Katie Couric does not approve.
So, to sum up. McCain used the same "lipstick on a pig" reference twice right after naming Hillary Clinton. No one accused him of calling Hillary a pig. One of McCain's (female) campaign strategists wrote a book called Lipstick on a Pig that advises politicians on how and when to use the phrase. And now McCain produced and tossed out an ad that implies it is sexist if Obama uses the phrase and that Obama is calling Palin a pig.
Finally, What's-his-name McCain guy on the show says, no, McCain isn't really saying that Obama is calling Palin a pig. No, What's-his-name isn't really saying so either. So what's up with the ad? Apparently, McCain may not exactly be responsible for the ads that include him saying, "I am John McCain and I approve this message." Apparently, our nation is threatened by rogue McCain ad producers. Also, apparently, McCain is powerless to do anything about it. But he's ready to lead some other stuff.
