Lamest Analogy Ever? Meacham Says Obamacare Mess Like Declaring Ketchup A Vegetable

A squadron of Hindenburgs? A flotilla of Titanics? A rash of Hurricane Sandys on steroids? Any might have been a better analogy for the monumental mess that is Obamacare than the lame one Jon Meacham proposed on today's Morning Joe.

The presidential historian somehow sought to analogize the Obamacare fiasco to . . . the classification of ketchup as a vegetable. Huh?

More like declaring a turd a filet mignon.

Meacham is the poster boy for a seemingly intelligent person who is willfully ignorant for the cause.

I think the brains of libs are starting to overheat and fry from this Obamacare debacle: They are saying stuff that is just utterly insane. Like this brilliant comment from lib wunderkind Ronan Farrow last night on MSLSD: “The Clintons represent a style of honesty that the public craves right now” Huh?

When John Meacham was done with Newsweek, it was worth $1.

I get the analogy. Most ketchup isn’t a vegetable anymore...it’s high fructose corn syrup with red dye. Obamacare isn’t health insurance. It’s the federal government controlling public health issues.

I can’t claim credit for this one...someone on Hannity’s radio show likened the Obamacare mess to “the Hindenburg crashing into the Titanic at Pearl Harbor.”

The Obamacare disaster is on par with the International Space Station falling out of orbit, crashing into the Empire State Building, dislodging King Kong who then falls on a bus load of orphans who were taking kittens and puppies to visit an old folks home.

It’s like when the Imperial Japanese army invaded Poland.
Won’t anyone think of the kielbasa sausages? How are we
losing to these maroons?

Check out some ketchup recipes and you will find that it’s almost all tomatoe. Countrified folk know this but most urban dwellers don’t.
