Metaphors

I was laying in bed last night, bored, thinking about the election (my exciting life!). I got to thinking about metaphors and John McCain came to mind. Isn't he a perfect metaphor for the Republican party?

Think about it. He's an oldish, grayhaired, hobbling white guy who's married to a vain-queen trophy wife who happens to be quite rich. He just looks like the Republican party. And I suspect as the election draws nearer, he'll look even more like the Republican party.
