Congress works on metaphors
WASHINGTON (AP) - In
Congress. the oratory seldom
gets better ns the arguments
drag on. Which is to say. there
often is an inverse relationship
between the quality of rhetoric
and the length of debote.
And when a debate drones on
— as happened Inst week when
tin* House took up the tax hill —
Democrats and Republicans
quic kly run out of fresh materi
al That's what produces fierce
competition for The Perfect
Metaphor
"This is really the Dr
Kevorkian plan for our econo
my." said Rep. Christopher Cox.
R-Caltf "It will kill jobs, kill
businesses, and. yes, kill even
the higher tax revenues that
these sun idal tax im rensers
hopi to gain."
Rep Gary Franks. R-Conn..
quoted a voting i onstituent who
i alls the Democrats the Rohm
Hood I’nrtv If Robin Hood isn't
quite right, how about Hill Clin
ton the Pied Piper?
"Please don't follow this mis
led Pil'd Piper down the wrong
road It is going to ruin you."
warned Rep Dan Burton, K ind
House Minority Leader Bob
Michel. R 111 said the Democ
rots were "like lemmings head
ed over a cliff."
"I am not a lemming."
protested Rep. lames Traficant.
D-Ohio. who voted against the
Clinton plan
Democrats supporting the hill
retorted by thinking up creative
ways to c all Republicans cow
ards and hypocrites
Rep Barney Frank. D-Mass .
said Republicans who didn't
fuss about how the House han
dled tax bills when President
Bush was in the While House
only started hollering after Clin
ton was sworn in.
“They hove a gag reflex they
can turn on and off." he said
Rep lames tnhofe. R-Okla.,
offered another view It was the
Democ rats w ho < mated the tax
lull to "i ram down the throats
of America with little or no
notice.”
Rep Charles Schumer, D
N Y . told other Democrats tf
they didn't support the presi
dent they would "cut him off at
the knees ”
Rep Mike Synar, D-Okla .
covered all the bases in his
speech of support for the presi
dent
•The federal debt it. he said,
was the canter" that "grows
and festers and continues to eat
away at the economic vitality of
our nation
• He cited history Welling
ton at Waterloo could have
delayed attacking Napoleon
until all the options had been

• He quoted Shakespeare
“There is a tide in the affairs of
men which taken at the flood
leads on to fortune, omitted, all
the voyage of their life is bound
in shallows and in miseries ”
•And he ended with a mix

Clinton imitator wins
contest, stars on TV
LITTLETON. Colo (AI’) — Pul Michael Newell in a suit
and give hint five minutes with a blow-dryer, and he s a dead
ringer for Bill Clinton
Newell. 43. won the National Enquirer'* Clinton look-alike
contest last year and starred as Clinton's spitting image in the
Japanese made-for-TV comedy. The Man with the Flaming
Cun
••This is a fun thing to do." he said "There are worse
things than looking like the president of the United States
When he's not perfecting the look and voice of the presi
dent. Newell spends his spare time speaking to children
about the dangers of drugs
His wife. Linda, encouraged him to enter the tabloid s
look-alike contest after their two children noticed his resem
blance to Clinton "They'd see Bill on TV and they would
say 'Mommy. Mommy, look! Daddy's on TV." Newell said.
The former Denver police officer now runs an industrial
security firm.
His wife is a former television actress who helped him
learn to imitate Clinton's voice and facial expressions. The
couple watched videos of Clinton on the campaign trail and
she critiqued his accent until he sounded like he grew up
in the rural South.
