Worse than a hypocrite

John McCain is a stupid hypocrite. Hasn't he ever heard of YouTube? Politicians who make fools of themselves seem to wind up there pretty quickly these days ....

As we all know by now, John McCain's campaign called Barack Obama's "lipstick" metaphor -- which Obama used to describe specious claims by McCain -- as a sexist, offensive and disgraceful put-down of Gov. Palin and said Obama owes her an apology.

But wait! What metaphor did John McCain use last October to describe Senator Hillary Clinton and her health care proposal? He said "I think [Sen. Clinton] put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Don't believe he could be so stupid as to criticize Obama for something he's been doing himself? Well, here's the proof: John McCain likes "Lipstick on a Pig" references too.

So, uh, did John McCain ever apologize to Hillary for being so sexist, offensive and disgraceful? I don't think so!

Sheesh! Not only is McCain a hypocrite who's lost at sea in the YouTube era, but he can't even "Swift boat" effectively. The big question is whether the media will roll over and let him get away with it.
