Frankly, I don’t understand why they have him speak at all. He is the pits and can’t remember his lines. Even with Alzheimers’s Reagan could remember his lines and had a pretty good group of writers. He occasionally stumbled, but knew how to recover.

The Shrubbery should just go off somewhere and deliver his toxins without commentary.

Not even the best analogy or metaphor can save a wretched situation to which it is drawn.

The Iraq war may someday become the basis of a later metaphor, as the Vietnam war commonly is today. But there is IMHO no legitimate analogy, historical or recent, to the US invasion and occupation of Iraq that works even remotely to Bush’s credit or advantage. He should just give it up.

But of course he won’t. His combination of unrestrained arrogance and utter lack of judgment makes that almost a certainty.

It’s not a good metaphor when you hear audible gasps from the audience and you feel your own heart sink into your stomach when Commander Cookoo Bananas turned a phrase that seemed to mean that Mandela had passed.
