HOLY MIXED METAPHOR, BATMAN!

On the horns of a dilemma (Tony Blankley, 7/09/03, Jewish World Review)

In Pamplona, Spain, this week, brave men are being gored and trampled in the traditional running of the bulls. [...]

Meanwhile, here in the States, another ritual is being played out: The traditional running of the dwarfs through the quaint newsrooms and meeting halls of Iowa and New Hampshire. In this tradition, the running dwarfs--who are usually drunk only on their delusions of grandeur--dash about
desperately for a full year before one of them reaches the national bullring, where he will meet the professional bullfighter, George W. And, in our tradition, the Des Moines Register and Manchester Union Leader, whether rolled up or not, can take a terrible toll on the cattle.

With the former vice president out of the race, at least none of the participants are going to be gored. But there is still the danger that late in the year the wandering dwarfs may yet be trampled by the late entry of Hillary "Cattle Futures" Clinton. From the seat of her pants to the crowning hair on her head, she is no dwarf. In every poll of every sample of Democrats in every state that has polled, she would win every election against every other Democratic candidate. In short, the Democratic nomination is hers for the asking.

We've been saying she'd run in '04 since '00 and see no reason to reconsider. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 9, 2003 8:54 AM
