Democrats are worried that John Kerry has an "Al Gore" problem:

For those who don't know, Al Gore had a problem with (oh, shall we say) exaggeration. He claimed he authored the first legislation on Love Canal, that he took the initiative in creating the Internet, and that he and Tipper were the people upon who the book Love Story was based, et cetera.

Kerry's campaign web site has him listed as Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (um, that was Bob Kerrey, from Nebraska). Kerry has changed his story on Cambodia, and backtracked on his Senate testimony (that last one isn't just exaggeration, that's perjury).

I had to travel forward in time a day, but I did find this article from Investor's Business Daily:

The title is, We Are Waiting and is quite appropriate.

I guess that it is hard to polish up something as dull as Kerry so he has to exagerate like Gore and Hillary have about meaningless trivia in their lives.

There's a saying here in Texas about what you can't polish... but I can't list it here without it being edited :)

I know the saying and use it quite often, I am afterall an engineer.

It is roughly akin to the saying You can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.

Yes, roughly akin... also akin to, "Ya can put a pig in a prom dress, but when all is said and done, you still have the pig!" :)

Anyone else know any folksy colloquialisms?
