That's Metaphorlicious!

Sean Penn has accepted Stephen Colbert's challenge for a Metaphor-Off after Colbert -- friend of the site -- called Penn out on his show over Penn's nearly illiterate metaphors about Bush and his cronies. At a March 24 town hall meeting in Oakland, Calif., Penn had this to say about Dubya:
"We cower as you point your fingers telling us to support our troops while you and the smarmy pundits in your pocket, those who bathe in the moisture of your soiled and blood-soaked underwear, can take that noise and shove it."
Colbert criticized Penn's sloppy, confusing metaphor about Bush's undies, challenging him to a duel of comparisons, which will go down Thursday. My vote is for Colbert -- he's pretty smart, Penn. You might want to be an eighth-grade English textbook and study up. Hopefully, Colbert will point out that you only added fuel to the fire by criticizing Bush and his Bushies, which didn't leave all the king's men smoldering but rather mocking your tangled web of hair, which sprouted out of your head like weeds. Damn -- that ended with both a mixed metaphor and a simile. Good luck, guy.

Sean Penn's pendulum has swung so far to the left that it's knocked the crazy into him.
