I heard Cheney say this today: No mattrer how much lipsticjk you apply to a pig, at the end of the day, it's still a PIG.
If you dress a monkey with silk, at the end of the day it's still a monkey.
Reminds me of the old joke about a guy walking into the house with pig under his arm, walks up to his wife and says 'This is the pig I'm married to'
His wife says "excuse me".
He says..."I was talking to the pig."
