The FLY

When photographs become metaphors

Now, Three presidential incidents captured on film have become metaphors for a presidency.  Gerald Ford's fall down Air Force One's gangway is  (unfairly)  emblematic of what the media portrayed as a his Stumble-Bumble performance.  The "Killer Rabbit" attack on Jummy is the perfect metaphor for his four-year term in office, especially pulling the US out of the 1980 Olympics - to punish the USSR.   But this!  This is the stuff of legend.  A fly on s__t!  It's so strikingly appropriate that Obama will never, ever escape it.
