Dog Catching Car Analogy : The New Yorker

Richard Schwab heard a good analogy on NPR Friday morning:  the Republicans are like a dog chasing a car.  When they catch up and catch the car they don't know how to do anything with it. 

Photo Booth: Frames From Fiction: Dogs : The New Yorker: "“Contemplating a dog chasing a car invites any number of metaphors and juxtapositions: culture and nature, the domestic and the wild, love and hate, joy and fear, the heroic and the idiotic,” he wrote. “Here we have two vectors and velocities, that of a dog and that of a car and, seeing that a camera will never capture reality and that a dog will never catch a car, evidence of devotion to a hopeless enterprise.”"
