Pig for Veep?
John McCain today socked top Democrat Howard Dean with the ol' pig metaphor. When FoxNews asked about Dean's recent attacks on him this week, McCain quipped:

I think it was Bob Dole that said you don't want to get in a wrestling match with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.

Sound familiar? McCain used the line successfully on his new BFF Mitt Romney before the New Hampshire primary. Of course, way back then, John had only contempt for The Man Who Would Be Veep, saying:

Never get into a wrestling match with a pig. You both get dirty -- and the pig likes it.

The Boston Globe says:
In New Hampshire, McCain's official above-the-fray stance with Romney culminated in a key victory that put him on the road to the nomination.
Meanwhile, Utah Peace relic Ed Firmage is wary of John McCain, with or without Mitt at his side.
Ed Firmage In a letter to the Tribune, Firmage gives Utahns the heads up. Besides fundraising in Utah, McCain sat down with EnergySolutions Steve Creamer, "so much for McCain's distance from lobbyists," says Ed:
Utah's Republican leaders are all in EnergySolutions' pockets, and vice versa. No doubt the presumptive Republican presidential candidate assured Creamer that all national and international nuclear waste may reside forever in Utah...

McCain is perhaps the nation's premier proponent of nuclear power, as long as the nuclear waste ends up in Utah, not Arizona.
