Learning English with Presidential candidates PART II

Didn't I tell you that we would have a part two for our post on "Learning English with Presidential Candidates? Well, here we are:

"Lipstick on a pig" is the talk of the day! Radio stations, newspapers, TV. . . I mean, everywhere. Obama used it, McCain used it, I guess Americans use this idiom. (?)

Once again, all of us, English students at Language Loop started doing a little research because we had never heard it before and because we wanted to know what was so wrong or so good about saying " lipstick on a pig".

We won't go into politics here, but we can say that it has a negative connotation as well as a general one. After all, pigs are not the sexiest of animals. The general meaning is that we can't say something is new or different by just making "little" adjustments.
