"second leg of the economic stool"

Hmmm, I didn't know these kinds of stools had legs. I thought you just wiped and flushed.

Ah, yes, the toilet metaphor.

I think it still works, but this is like a 3-legged liberal porta-potty. Liberals can't stand flush toilets - at least not the kind that have enough water to actually work.

That way, all the nasty crap they create just ends up spewing out all over everything.
