Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said on Fox News today that the health care bill must be repealed because it is a “cancer on America’s spirit and vitality.”
King described the bill as “an affront to our liberty, to our freedom, to our American vitality.”
He continued:
I called it a toxic stew weeks ago, and a toxic stew, you can’t separate it. You can’t take a teaspoon of it and say, ‘well that wasn’t so bad.’ But now it’s become the tumor of a cancer in our legislation, and you can’t take a tumor out in part. You’ve got to pull it all out. And some will say, ‘well there’s some viable tissue there,’ but that’s the price of something that is a cancer on America’s spirit and vitality.
Add that to the annals of confusing extended metaphors.
