You lying!!! Nancy said what???

Excerpt:
*Pelosi said one of her favorite moments from Inauguration Day was when Marine One lifted off the Capitol grounds, signifying former President George W. Bush's exit from Washington. "It felt like a 10-pound anvil was lifted off my head," she said.

In my opinion one of the most colorful and versatile instruments in the English language is the “Metaphor”. Again and in my opinion, you can use one metaphor and “skin it” as many ways as you can skin the proverbial cat. That is only one example of its many charms. When I begin to “skin” Ms. Pelosi metaphor, “"It felt like a 10-pound anvil was lifted off my head." I get:

He had a nose around my neck
My head was on the chopping board
He had a ring through my nose
Serving at his pleasure

With the implied resolution:
Ding-dong the witch is dead
Lady Nancy, the young Sir Barack has slain the dragon
The three little pigs lived happily ever after
The Devil made me do it

Sorry, Nancy. You’re metaphor, “It felt like a 10-pound anvil was lifted off my head” is akin to the pleas at Nuremberg: “Your Honor, I was just following orders!” Nice try. A full confession wrapped in a metaphor. Thank God now we don’t have to “waterboard” you. I love it! Thanks.
As always,

P.S. Re: Eric Holder’s confirmation hearings delayed. Pssst! There is that woodle ting saying the President can make appointments when Congress is on vacation. I think they are called Interim Appointments.
