Is John McCain trying to sell the nation a Pig in a poke?
He hides Sarah Palin and keeps the nation from finding out about her. Seems to me that's a better pig saying.:evilgrin:

4. The funny thing is that the orgin of the phrase is such
that you are not even calling Palin a pig. The idiom's orgin is such that you are trying to pass off a cat, as a more valued pig, which is hidden in a poke (bag). So it's actually a dead on accurate point.

3. even worse, he seems to have no idea at all
of what to do about the financial situation. Zippo leadership there.

More things to hide. Main repug campaugn message right now: It's all Obama's fault McLame has to hide.
