Let's Play the Metaphor Game!
As the McCain/Palin freak show continues to live in a fantasy world populated by sex-ed boogey men and magical Bridges to Nowhere, it comes to mind that this campaign has hinged on metaphors and similies. So I offer up a few of my own regarding this nightmare ticket...
1. for John McCain, Sarah Palin was a Hail Mary. The crowd went wild when the ball came down in her hands on the 5-yard line, but in the last few days, the American People have gone to the taped replay and are discovering that they play may not have been made after all.
2. Saying Sarah Palin killed the Bridge to Nowhere is like saying the minister who presided over a murder victim's funeral pulled the trigger.
3. If you believe that Palin has sufficient foreign policy experience because Alaska is next to Russia, then you won't mind if I perform open heart surgery on you because my next door neighbor is a cardiac surgeon.
I could go on and on...anyone have any others?
