All Things Politics including Lipsticks, Pigs and Pork

Barack Obama's recent comments about "lipstick on a pig" during the presidential campaign have created another flash-point in the already heated race for the White House.

The Republican candidate John McCain has taken serious offense to these comments even though he had sued these same words against Hillary Clinton during the primary process.

Also this "lipstick on a pig" phrase has been used liberally both by Democrats and Republicans before today. So why express the outrage now? Why are the Republicans trying to create a mountain out of a mole-hill, when there are other important issues like health-care, immigration, economy and foreign policy etc to be discussed?

May be the Republicans have come to a realization that they cannot win the election by talking about these issues because of how badly the current administration has managed them and so they are trying to divert the discussion from these central topics.
