The quote is taken out of context. He was NOT referring to Governor Palin when he said it. Why should he apologize for something he didn't say??
And if the Republicans find the phrase so "offensive and disgraceful", then why did Senator McCain use it to describe a healthcare plan put forth by a certain female Democrat???
So you don't find it coincidental that the comment comes so shortly - and so closely worded - to her recent comment? There is nothing there, and we're all just making a huge deal out of nothing? Really? Seriously?
As Klydon stated, yes it is a "coincidence", something that happens by chance. And if you read the Senator's entire comment, rather than taking it out of context, you will see how ridiculous it is that is being touted as an insult aimed at Governor Palin.
And you still haven't replied to my original question. If it is SO offensive, if the phrase "lipstick on a pig" is a disgraceful and offensive remark because it was meant to insult a female candidate, then WHY wasn't it "offensive and disgraceful" when Senator McCain used it???
