Dana Milbank has some fun decoding Chuck Schumer’s plan to win back the Senate:
To judge from Schumer’s presentation, the Democrats will achieve this extraordinary triumph by employing an extended series of mixed metaphors. Schumer himself may have set a record in that department yesterday as he painted the electoral landscape:
“This administration is shrugging its shoulders. . . . It’s like ‘The Wizard of Oz’ — it showed the man behind the screen. . . . You know which way the winds are blowing. . . . There have been very few bumps in the road. . . . The wind continues to stay at our backs. . . . The idea that there should be no check and balance, no congressional oversight, just isn’t flying. They want to try to bring back the 2004 playbook. . . . They’re trying to find a new rabbit to pull out of the hat, but so far they’ve gone back to the old chestnuts.”
