From James Taranto and Best of The Web Today:
Metaphor Alert
"[Harry] Reid, 70, is fighting for his political survival. He has been a fixture in the state for 40 years, and he's worried that the last thing voters want is a Reid dynasty. . . . Instead of getting credit for putting down insurrections and wrangling his fellow Democrats into passing a health-care reform bill on Christmas Eve, Harry Reid is getting hosed for it. Republican leaders were licking their lips at the prospect of picking him off. And that was before Reid had to activate a one-man phone tree of apology this weekend for what he called 'improper comments' he made during the 2008 presidential campaign about Barack Obama's light skin and absence of 'Negro dialect.' "--Washington Post, Jan. 12
