by Damozel | Krauthammer knows hubris, of course---and is to this extent qualified to write a piece called 'The Audacity of Vanity.' But---he's been wrong about everything, all the time. And now he's wrong again (naturally).. See Radio Free Mike here (with deepest gratitude to Sadly, No! for the links and comments).
Gavin M of the Sadlies sees off right-wing complaints about 'electioneering' and distribution by Obama's campaign of flyers (in Berlin, where German is spoken) which are written in German (so German-speaking natives can easily read them). [Contains bonus Tin Drum reference]:
On the other hand [heh heh], do you know who else used to drum up a sea of Germans to be used as props, and who did not try to pretend otherwise? [heh heh] I’m not going to say, but he sure did cause quite a “furor.” [heh heh]....
The sea of Germans drummed up will be used as props, and while this is breathtaking, it is par for the course. That would be a geographic metaphor, a music or sales metaphor, a stage or film metaphor, a metaphor based on a bodily sensation, and then a golf metaphor, all smashed together like the cars of a wrecked circus train.
