--the same analogy that Senator McCain himself used about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's health-care plan just last year.

The saying is usually meant to convey putting the best possible face on a bad situation. Torie Clarke, Donald H. Rumsfeld's press secretary at the Pentagon -- a Republican and a woman -- named her book "Lipstick on a Pig: Winning in the No-Spin Era by Someone Who Knows the Game." And McCain himself used the phrase late last year to describe Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's plan for universal health care.

"I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," McCain said of the plan last October as Clinton was running for the Democratic nomination.
