President Bush is Pedro Martinez!

Thursday, November 13, 2003

President Bush is Pedro Martinez! Politics aside, this has to be the weirdest political metaphor I've yet encountered. Mickey Kaus has some pretty strange thought processes. Basically, Bush is Pedro on the mound in a crucial game (like Game Seven of the ALCS); he's getting into a jam (Iraq); and the voters are playing the Grady Little role and have to decide whether to leave him in or take him out.

So can we make t-shirts that read: "America: Don't pull a Grady! Yank him!"

If your head gets so far up you ass that it collapses in upon itself - does it threaten existence? Or does time simply start operating in reverse?

We could always deport him. Bush, I mean. Not Pedro.

Taking Kaus' dumb metaphor to its logical conclusion, we must remove Bush from office now or we'll be bombed by the Japanese (Hideki Matsui).
