| Ratherisms His lead is as thin as turnip soup. The presidential race is swinging like Count Basie. This race is hotter than a Times Square Rolex. Ohio becomes like a sauna for the two candidates. All they can do is wait and sweat. Bush is sweeping through the South like a big wheel through a cotton field. This race is hotter than the Devil's anvil. If you try to read the tea leaves before the cup is done you can get yourself burned. It won’t mean a thing if they don’t get those swing states. This thing is as tight as the rusted lug nuts on a '55 Ford. His chances are slim to none right now, and if he doesn't carry Florida, Slim will have left town. He swept through the South like a tornado through a trailer park. One's reminded of that old saying, 'Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.' It's a ding-dong battle back and forth. Hotter than a Laredo parking lot. Shakier than cafeteria Jell-O. If a frog had side pockets, he'd carry a handgun. This race is humming along like Ray Charles. Close only counts with hand grenades and horseshoes. Look at that. Can't get a cigarette paper between 'em. We don't know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon. Don't bet the trailer money on it yet. This is more complicated than the wiring diagram for some hydroelectric dam dynamo. This race is tight like a too-small bathing suit on a too-long ride home from the beach. |
