McCain acknowledges Obama didn't really call Palin a pig, defends campaign ad anyway

Did Barack Obama really call Sarah Palin a pig, as a John McCain ad leads people to believe? "No," McCain said Monday. The Republican presidential nominee defended the ad anyway, saying Obama "chooses his words very carefully."

The implication: Obama was slyly up to something when he said McCain's call for change in Washington is "lipstick on a pig," days after Palin made a lipstick joke at the Republican convention.

"He's very eloquent," McCain told The Associated Press and Florida newspapers in an interview, and "it was the wrong thing to say."

A day earlier, hard-nosed Republican tactician Karl Rove, a former adviser to President Bush, said some of McCain's ads were not truthful and both sides should cool the attacks.

1. I saw this. What a nonsensical answer. That infamous box of waffles ought to have McCain's face
... on it.

Seriously, it's unbelievable that he now claims he didn't believe Obama was calling Sarah Palin a pig, even when he continues to stand by the ad! Someone needs to ask him point blank, "If you don't believe Obama was calling Sarah Palin a pig... WHAT EXACTLY WERE YOU SO OFFENDED BY, THEN?"

I wish someone would just nail his lying ass down on this one.
