Copying Your Own Turd



Jeff Darcy combines two of the worst cliches today: The Fat Lady Singing and using American Idol as a metaphor for the presidential race. His Hillary caricature is good--I'm not sure why he needs to label her.

But I thought it looked familiar. Indeed, Jeff was just regurgitating a concept he used only a week earlier!

In case you didn't know the fat viking lady opera singer was a "fat lady singing," he wrote it across her expansive chest.

Isn't this where the Editor steps in and asks for a different concept? Jeff, when she finally bows out let's not "beat a dead horse" and do the opera gag again, ok?

Thank goodness he labeled the large woman in the viking helmet with notes flying out of her wide-open mouth "Fat Lady Singing Telegram" because I would have been lost without it.
