My interpretation of it is that Obama is calling McCain's platform a pig. So, as in your own example, it becomes classified as a metaphor. @guzz: I see your point, but i did some research and the consensus was that this saying falls under the title of “idiom,” which is further defined as a “colloquial metaphor.” My interpretation of it is that Obama is calling McCain’s platform a pig.

(And no, Obama did not say that in reference to Palin's pitbulls and lipstick comment, which was just bad to begin with. Poor pitbulls never get a break!) @ Newage44: scroll down to the very end of this October 2007 article, and you will see something very interesting to say the least.

The republicans have always put others down in their campaigns. Look at what they did during the Kerry campaign. Comments on his nose, questioning his war experience, etc, etc. @newage44: I think what was most despicable was Palin’s derogatory comment about community organizers.

Palin used it as humor and now it shows the lack of Dem-humor at its most despicable and dishonorable. Either McCain or Palin were alluded to as pigs..say what you will. Palin is smart if she really gets back on this with some true humor...stay tuned as we muddle around on this while the real issues get dumped lower than rats crawling in a sewer...
