Lockbox.
Al has got a lockbox, an old oaken chest. At night when Tipper gets home, she never gets no rest, 'cause he's playin' all night...
Well there's a metaphor that merits more abuse, don't ya think? Of course, it's no gravitas, mind you, but it's still one of the lasting memories of the 2000 debates.
And now right on cue, Mr. Gravitas, his bad self, let's us all know that:
"I'd say if you live in the United States of America and you vote for George Bush, you've lost your mind."
Guess John-boy has found another use for all those leftover lockboxes Al had made up. And while this post should end with the last sentence, I can't help but quote further from Senator Edwards' interview with Judy Woodruff:
WOODRUFF: "There's been criticism that you have been too soft."
EDWARDS: "Do I seem soft to you?"
One word: Bunnies.
