BREAKING: Republican Train Wreck
In the richness of multiple metaphors, the train carrying congressional Republicans to their retreat in West Virginia hit a garbage truck this morning. This is a breaking story; apparently injuries on the train are minor, but unknown so far is if anyone in the truck or surrounding area were injured.
I just find it ironic that the train wreck that is the congressional Republicans was in an actual train wreck today – with a garbage truck. The symbolism is overwhelming.
