President Bush is Pedro Martinez!: Politics aside, this has to be the weirdest political metaphor I've yet encountered. Mickey Kaus has some pretty strange thought processes. Basically, Bush is Pedro on the mound in a crucial game (like Game Seven of the ALCS); he's getting into a jam (Iraq); and the voters are playing the Grady Little role and have to decide whether to leave him in or take him out.

So can we make t-shirts that read: "America: Don't pull a Grady! Yank him!"

If your head gets so far up you ass that it collapses in upon itself - does it threaten existence? Or does time simply start operating in reverse?

We could always deport him. Bush, I mean. Not Pedro.

Taking Kaus' dumb metaphor to its logical conclusion, we must remove Bush from office now or we'll be bombed by the Japanese (Hideki Matsui).
