James Taranto points out some egrigious metaphor abuse...
"From a column by Helen Thomas, American journalism's crazy old aunt in the attic:

'I have observed that whenever a major news outlet is stung with the label 'liberal' and feels the hot breath of ultra-right critics on its neck, it circles the wagons and hires yet another conservative commentator. Take PBS, for example. Running scared after giving [Bill] Moyers the spotlight over the years, PBS made amends by hiring two conservatives.'"
