Metaphor alert!

From The Wall Street Journal's Best of The Web Today blog:

Metaphor Alert
  • "As their political lives flash before their eyes, House Democrats who marched in lockstep with the president and Speaker Nancy Pelosi are now running from the sinking ship."--Jennifer Rubin, Commentary website, Sept. 20

  • "I think the American people feel that too many programs have come down. There are so many rocks in our knapsack now that we're having trouble carrying it. I think the president has to, like a, like a, like a razor blade, just go right after the single issue that is uppermost in the minds of the American people and that's employment."--Colin Powell, "Meet the Press," Sept. 19
