After a heated back and forth between McCain and Obama camps regarding the Democratic presidential candidate's use of an old expression, Senator Obama has released a statement correcting his verbiage. The admonition, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." - indicating dressing up an old idea, doesn't change the idea - has been used countless times by politicians, both Republican and Democratic.
But McCain spokesman Brian Rogers, told CNN, "It's obviously offensive and disrespectful. He's referring to Gov. Palin's use of lipstick. Who else in this campaign uses lipstick...? I mean, she's a lady, for god's sake!"
Sen. Obama has released a statement apologizing to pigs and hogs for any offense, adding, "What I meant to say was - Dressing up dangerous fascist ideology with Christian values is like putting lipstick on a Nazi Bitch."

The thing is, some people (repubs who would use it to show how crass Obama is) may even think that's what Obama is quoted as having said. Maybe you need to put a disclaimer on this?
