Word to the wise, all you politicos: Beware of the bus.
This humble mode of transportation has become an unstoppable serial killer this presidential season, metaphorically speaking. Hardly a week goes by without someone reviving the cliche of the 2008 campaign -- that a former ally of a candidate has been thrown under a bus.
I'm sorry to say I found myself using the phrase in an editorial instead of coming up with something different, such as, "Obama has just defenestrated Wright" or thrown him down the manhole or set fire to his shoes or anything else.
